In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
yes
How many International goals does Fabio have?
Don't know, but Fabio's the topscorer in the World Cup with 4 goals in the first two games. And that's from a defender!
Fabio looks real quality, he's a very solid defender as an addition to his obvious attacking qualities. He actually scored a 3rd goal today which was ruled out, and ran down the wing the whole game. Unhuman stamina. I'm very excited by him, although the opposition so far in the tournament for Brazil has been horrible.

The thing I noticed about him is that like Evra he will get forward at every opportunity but he always seems to be back to defend when needed and is rarely caught out.
A very exciting prospect indeed.
Impressive performance by Fabio today. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see him played as a winger or an attacking midfielder at United. I also wouldn't be shocked to see him and Alexandre Pato make the Brazil squad for the next WC. Both fantastic players. The verdict is still out on Raphael.
I agree. Rafael and his brother were like the old carlos and cafu and Brazil in general looked very good. What I like is that Fabio's goals are different. His over head goal on youtube is exceptional technique for a full back.
Rafael had a good shot on goal today that flashed wide so maybe there's hope for him yet
. It will be interesting to see how they fair against stiffer opponants

Request seconded.
www.fifa.com. Click on information on a U17 match, then highlights.
Noticed that he scored with two headers (actually one shoulders), but I'm struggeling to decide on his size. Nice to hear that he seems solid in defence to, although this is expected on this level if he is a good prospect. The fact that his goals where headers might implify that he is not a typicall Brazilian back when it comes to size, nevertheless, to score a couple of goals with headers in a U17 tournemant against Korea might not say to much about his aerial-abilities, but I really hope this is a bigger player than Evra. Physique is really important.
That said, Evra's really small but has a great physique, and many players manage well without it.

The more I hear about this kid the less I think it is silliness.
Seems to really be true quality at this level - it will be interesting to see his development.

You will find Fabio too there. The club denies that the players will join us...

Wasn't he also the top scorer (or thereabouts) for Brazil (U-17 or U-19) in another tournament played earlier this year? How come he scores so many?
EDIT - It was in the South American U-17 Championship. Lulinha was the top scorer with 12 but Fabio came second with 7 goals.
Fabios goal against the Kiwis was a good one...that's on FIFA too.
Rafael of the THE lateral one Hisses Rafael of the Hisses is identical twin to his brother Fábio. And the soccer of the family began it to be noticed since to sub-15. In the beginning of 2005, the of Rio de Janeiro one did an excursion to the England, where conquered to Manchester United Premier Cup upon defeating the Paris Saint-Germain for 1 to 0 in the final one.
Rafael was considered the best second player of the tournament. By that, he and his brother awoke the attention of the technician of the Manchester, Alex Ferguson, that watched to the games. Despite of the strong rumors of that the two will go to play in the English club in 2008 (when complete 18 years and will be apt to will be transfered for the outside), the of Rio de Janeiro one denies the information.
The coach of Rafael, Edgar pear tree - technical of the selection sub-17 to the last South American of the category - believes that the player is similar to his brother until in the qualities.
"He has a good presence in the area also. Alone did not mark goals that neither the brother in the South American for lack of luck". "But to the contrary one of the brother, Rafael presents defects in the marking", stood out.
Pear tree did question of affirm that will twist for the success of his athletes (Fábio, Rafael and Maicon) in the Pan. "I am going to twist for all of the boys, as the Brazilian and by the affection that have for them like coach. Already it put me the arrangement of the Lucho [Nizzo, technician of the selection] and of the CBF for help in what will go necessary".

I don't see where they deny it. Also what about one of them in the United top - shit maybe it was richardson after all

This from 2006 says we snapped them up already and theyve been talking about it.
Dunno where andersj got his link from and how old it is....
The players were also pictured by MUTV training with the first team towards the end of last season....

Come on mr Pear Tree, let us have them!
This Fabio seems to score an incredible amount of goals for a left back.
People should not talk of their size currently. The lads can still grow bigger and taller
Brazilian fullbacks tend to play better in Europe as wingers or attacking fullbacks. If they keep on improving then we would have adequate cover/competition for Gaz and Evra + would permit us to use OShea upfront to solve our lack of goals problem (the last part is dedicated to Hairdryer 
)
)God...I'm happy with the progress of what Fabio and Rafael is doing, but damn it hurts that Korea sucked.
Fabio is very attack minded where as Rafael is more of a traditional right back. Very good prospects these lads. Surprisingly the quality of football at the U17 has been pretty good.
fecking hell, 2 goals in 8 minutes from a full-back
Just thought I'd look through some of these threads to see what was said about them at the time.
How long is he supposed to be injured for? He's actually far more attacking than his bro.
That's insane. I can't wait to see Fabio in action.
Not sure. It's a shoulder injury.
It's been a while though. I can't find anything on the net about the injury.
I think somebody mentioned Fabio and his injury in the Rafael thread, the one about a 10 year contract.
