the way he shifts his weight is nice. lots of ankle breakers in there.Found a nice compilation of his highlights from the Paulista.
I think we’ll announce it once he turns 18.
Will probably be a direct competitor to Iwobi.

To be fair, according to Gabriel himself, it was everyone else's fault for not sticking with him through all his poor performances. I remember him looking great in his first few games, then he got the Bouldied and the rest, as they say, is history.Seeing Gabriel and Paulista in the same sentence sends chills down my spine.
Should be a cracking player in 4 years when he’s banging in the goals for Real Madrid at 21 years old.
It's not funny, stop.Go **** yourself
For probably 150 million. I've always wondered why we never go for Brazilian talents, even those we can afford and can get permits like Richarlison. It's almost guaranteed that if they become even just decent, Real or most likely Barca would pay obscene amounts for them. Just look at Barcas chase for ****ing Willian the last 2 windows.Should be a cracking player in 4 years when he’s banging in the goals for Real Madrid at 21 years old.
From these videos I can't see anything special in this player. His pace will be easily matched by PL defenders and on videos he is completely reliant on superior pace to create chances.
It's a small risk transfer though, could be well worth it if he develops his game further.
Based on videos he doesn't look better than them and usually players at least look great on their Youtube compilations. If we are willing to pay 6m knowing that we have the same type of players in academy, then I guess he has something more than what we can see on video.That's 3 academy players who we simply must develop this season. I wouldn't say Martinelli is a level above any of those and he is roughly the same age as them.
Yes i dont think EPL players are faster. The intensity of the games is higher because the temperatures in general are 30o Celsius lower in England in those matches. Majority of Brazilian full backs/wingers are very fast.Premier league defenders are stronger and are better defensively. They aren't necessarily quicker. If he is leaving players for dead in Brazil. He is probably capable of doing it in the Premier league. He just won't be able to do multiple players.
We have Amaechi, a right winger who is 18. Saka who seems more comfortable on the left and doesn't turn 18 till later in the year and Nelson who will be 20 this year.

That was 30 degrees Celsius of course. The "o" was to represent degrees. I'll download a scientific keyboard.Damn. I'm not sure if it's unbelievably hot in Brazil or unbelievably cold in England, but water boils at 100 degrees celsius and absolute zero is -273.15 celsius. Whew!
so he'll cost same amount as Guendouzi i think we'll loan him or play for u23 if he not in Emery plans yet.

He qualifies for an Italian passport through his father.Is he even going to get a work permit? As far as I can tell he's never played in a Brazilian U side, and Ituano aren't even playing Seria A or B, but in regional/local sort of tournaments/leagues.

I think he'll qualify when he turns 18 later on this month, so hopefully he can make it for the pre-season tour at least.If he doesn't already have one, I hope that gets fast tracked so he can settle in next season in the U23. Don't think he'll be a factor in the first team, but it would still be important to get him settled at Arsenal.
