Reliable? @El Duderino

eeeeeeeeeh, idk. People outside of brazil want hype him up as the next Endrick, but he's far behind of what Endrick is doing right now in terms of being a talisman/almost protagonist.

Nothing on UOL Esportes about him going anywhere. Chelsea interested, is all.

 

[Sanchez11]

You do what Madrid did with Endrick right. This kid wouldn’t come into our team for like another 2 years at least, no need to pay it all now.

I say all this never having heard of this kid before btw. I’m just generally pre disposed to this sort of deal. Spanish teams have had this pipeline on lockdown and it’s pissed me off.

If we have the time/space and funds then fine. We are due a worldie though right?

What is going on in here.

@OnlyOne finally posts his list and the forum goes into meltdown.

 

[El Duderino]

Shocked that future Sports Journalist Eduardo Hagn failed to check if something is true or not. wow.

We should be able to structure the deal in a way that it doesn’t hurt our ffp too much given he won’t be anywhere near our team for a couple years at least.

Buying an actual Vinicius will cost 150+ and we just aren’t that club I don’t think. So if you don’t put your balls on the line and take a risk on a kid you’ll basically never have one.

I want a Vinicius.

Even Chelsea have some mad youth on lock in South America - Kendry Paez from Ecuador he is sick.

We have Marquinhos and @El Duderino …

These South Americans rarely work out tbf. The exceptional ones, the almost 'sure things' will get snapped up by Madrid. Rasmi is right about that.

And even the exceptional ones take time. Madrid signed Endrick. But Mbappe is also coming for now. Sign Nico Williams Spanish international for 50 million euros and if you got money sign Brazil U17 international for 55 million. Everyone wins

 

[El Duderino]

Plus, even if we signed him (Chelsea's offer will suposedly be close to his RC), he needs to be 18 to move and we'd likely loan him back to Palmeiras for another year or so.

If the funds are going to be tight to sign the quality we all wish to sign, there's no point in bringing him here to the first team if he's not going to play enough to develop.

For all they hype Endrick got, Palmeiras managed his minutes and the pressure put on him. How they treat Estevão might be tell us a lot about how they view his talent level.

I've not been convinced by Endrick.

 

[El Duderino]

I've not been convinced by Endrick.

He's got something about him. Still early to tell, though.

Shades of how Pato started out scoring for the Seleção and Milan, etc. Just got to hope he doesn't get undone by injuries like Pato did.

Kiss of death when you mentioned Pato.....

God, what could've been... His head went soon after as well.

 

[Sebastes]

The @Rasmi ‘s and @Sanchez11 ’s of this world spend all day moaning about why we don’t have a player like Vinicius but then they too scared to take a risk on one.

Reminds me of those incels that post all these videos threatening jihad on anything with a vagina but when actually face to face with an attractive female they melt into an amorphous blob.

Anyway I’ve always got time for a talented Brazilian. There should always be room in the budget for these deals.

What I would say though is:

A) If we do get him I’d like him to stay another season in Brazil and then get loaned out to Spain or Portugal or sth. This league (and this fan base) does not deal well with young flair players yet to fully grow into their bodies or fulfill their potential.

B) We need to be very ready for the outcome where Boehly sees we’re bidding for some youngster and offers him a billion dollar contract amortised over 35 years…

This is not a risk, it’s a reason to bid in itself

 

[Sebastes]

In fairness that’s very much aligned with my expectations on future sports journalists

 

[CannonBals]

Someone with more experience than a 17yo!

I don't understand this. People want players with x-factor in the team. This kid has potential to become that. If he does that there is no way on earth we will be able to get him. We have to make such transfers especially as an RW where we have Saka so can take some risk.

Ideally we should just get players like this/Hato/Doue or straight to ready made players like Rice/Bruno etc.

Almost never can you buy a player with x-factor. You need talents like this guy and make them.


I would be really happy with this/Doue

This guys transfer has no bearing on next year(in FFP terms). He can only join in 2025 so the amortization starts from 2025. This is just a pre agreement. Although some money exchange may happen but thats just cashflow. For FFP terms amortization starts from 2025.

 

[outlawz]

Yeah great shout this actually



Good engine and presser with decent technique which goes under the radar tbh.

Explains exactly why I think he's pants. We need someone who excels technically.

 

[Nunowoolmez]

Bruno
Ferguson
Williams
Valles

This needs to be in the wish list I believe....

*Ferguson would be a huge waste of money. Cant even get into the Brighton 1st team..

We need to aim a LOT higher than this lot...

 

[Tom349]

My hot take is we go hard after Isak and its not to play striker but to replace/challenge Martinelli on the left wing. Would essentially take Trossard role in the squad as the LW/9 option.

The question that I ask myself is this:
Do we need a back up more for RW and AMC then improve on LW. Honestly think that Martinelli, Trossard and Jesus are very good options for LW, not world class but the dept of quality is there. While for AMC we have Ødegaard, ESR and Vieira and RW Saka and Nelson.

I honestly would get rid of ESR, Vieira, Nelson and have 2 proper backup for RW and AMC then LW.

What is a must is CM/DM and LB. For CM/DM I would go for Angelo Stiller from Stuttgart. Seems the perfect fit for our style of play.
