3 or 4 years? It'll be either this year or next year max. This kid is the real deal and no Madrid that doesn't mean we want to sell him.
Even if he makes a mistake, do you think it will break him? The munich mistake was pretty big, he said that himself but his responce has been first class. Someone like Evans needs to look at Rafael - I could understand reservations about Evans. When you have ability and when you have mental strength...it's basically yours to throw awayYeah, i'll admit he had a great game. Had me worrieed a few times in the first half with very rash tackles in dangerous positions, but TBF he pulled the tackles off. gave the ball away, but not too often. Overall a great performance.
Needs about another 30 of these before he deserves the kind of praise some on here are giving him though.
Yes we do know he can, considering he didnt give Bale a sniff when they played a few months ago...Next league game is an oppurtunity for him to banish a lot of the neutrals talk of him being suspect defensively. I don't think its an overstatement to say that if he handles Bale well at the lane then the whole world will sit up and take notice of how good this guy is. Thing is, he can as well.
For him personally as well will give him extra stock for the national side for doing something the current first choice right back couldn't. Could be his defining moment/game post ribery and bayern
The difference is simple, this is at spurs and everyone in the media will be tipping spurs to beat us and the hype for bale will be overwhelming.You kidding me? He's already handled Bale and Nasri already this season, and no-one sat up and taken notice of him. He's been the best young player in the league, yet players like Wilshere will probably get more plaudits than him. Is he the best right back in the league already?
To be fair him and Nani were the best players on the park vs. Munich.I think it's unfair of people to question him because he's shown over a long period he's good enough to be first choice. People seem to be waiting for a mistake to say I told you so. It's rubbish. Baring the munich game, he's been a class act and any mistake he's made is matched by every other player on the pitch experienced or not.
People might say he jumps in, thats not always a bad thing but I think he's proven thus far to be a clean tackler. Attacking wise, he's got everything to be our best outlet when he gets the right balance and that was evident from day one. It has been for quite a while. However, it's better he's under the radar and gets less attention then someone like Bale. That suits us fine.
Just quietly I think the fact that Fabio (who when the two of them arrived was generally pubically acknowledged as the best) hasn't had as many chances just yet - Rafael getting quite a few games gave him a chance to get any potential monkey off his back right away.Can we finally now put to bed the myth about his brother being better? I think so.

Do we need to? The only thing that's been holding Fabio back is niggly injuries so far, it might sound almost impossible for him to be better than Rafael but we all thought it would take the twins a couple of years or so at the club before they'd even made a notable impact, yet by the end of the Peterborough game everyone knew we'd seen something a bit special.Can we finally now put to bed the myth about his brother being better?

Anf if Evans ever regains form/confidence that is our entire back 4 covered for many yearsI hope Fabio bides his time to get his chance, imagine them both in full form. Thats the flanks covered for years.

Fabio was also top scorer for the reserves for a while about year ago, got 8 or 9 goals I recall.Do we need to?

Absolutely.honestly,
i lost count of the times he was like some kind of cheating mop rampage last night. How many times did the little bugger come marauding through the middle? How many times did he skin his man with cruyffs, even juggling it over their head.
this guy is something else. We've got some really, really talented players coming through guys...
