When will we get a Rooninho or a Giggsinho ?
Messinho | 16 year old Palmeiras winger
- Thread starter FortunaUtd
- Start date
All jokes aside, this guy is actually very good.
We have Maininho
He doesn't go by Messinho, but Estevão if anyone is wondering
I can remember the thread "We have to buy the next Messi". With a name like that you can't go wrong.
It’s very early to say but the indications are that this guy is one of the surest things coming out of Brazil in years. Normally I’d advocate his signing 100% in line with Radcliffe’s comments about finding the next Mbappe rather than buying the actual Mbappe. Real took a risk signing Vinicius Jr for huge money as a youngster and have repeated this with Endrick.
The thing that gives me pause for thought is that we have two fantastic right wingers in Lacey and Mantato. I agree with the principle of encouraging competition and trusting the cream of the crop to rise to the top but this may be too far given the talent of our homegrown lads. It would send a poor signal to them, especially with Mantato currently in contractual uncertainty.

The Messinho nickname is only from one spanish news article about him, in Brazil he is know as Estevão or Estevão Willian.
Also, Messinho (Little Messi) is a bit of a weird name, no?
Little Messi? What is he, Valbuena's height? Danny DeVito?
Danny DeVito
Pretty sure was an attempt of making some humour simply because Estevão is left footed, both started making part of the main team at 16 y.o. and he is also starting his career as right winger like Messi, but the similarities end there.
Tell you what, if Messi had -inho at the end of his name, I bet you lot would rate him a lot higher.
If you want a potential world class dribbler and creator from the wing, sign Wesley(Corinthians).
