I’m surprised nobody has taken the risk yet

Yeah, trash source but an interesting link.

It'll be interesting to see if the report is corroborated by someone else. It's also interesting to see that both Hopkinson and Colman have put their name to the story like they might know something.

They're reporting that United want to send him on loan and Sporting CP is a option.

Not the most reliable report but he definitely has the ability to be the versatile forward in the mid to long-term.

Would potentially be a very shrewd move that. You get a good look at him in a relatively high pressure environment and you wouldn't expect to make a massive loss on him whatever happens.

Exciting prospect.

I've watched him on a number of occasions in the Libertadores or the Brasileiro. I will admit I wasn;t fully focused on him watching the games but a number of times he has caught my eye. Well worth a punt for ~£10 Million

 

[Rozay]

Cannot believe he would be sold for 10m.

@TwoSheds

Agreed, it would be a good move potentially and the lad has potential to develop into a very dangerous threat all across the front line.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Reminds me a bit of Di Maria

Pereira replacement

Sky in Italy reported that Sassoulo were accelerating talks to sign him for €15m on Wednesday. They also mentioned that we were sniffing around monitoring proceedings.

Let the hijack commence baby!

You rate him?

God, you wouldn't exactly be handing over any blank cheques watching that video. Seems weak in the challenge, a bit loose with his passing and not very agile.

Yes. Money saved from the FdJ negotiation can be used on him.

Seems to be a wide forward? Odd that we sign and target so many young kids for that role but no CFs.

 

[Dazzmondo]

Kept meaning to watch some full games of this kid but never got around to it. All I've seen are highlights and I'm aware he's supposed to be one of the brightest young Brazilian talents. How talented as compared to Pellistri when we signed him for example, I'm not sure. Interestingly another one of his teammates is also called Gabriel (Menino) and he's supposed to be one of the best young Brazilian cms. I'd probably prefer for us to target a player at this stage in his career in Menino's position tbh since I think Garnacho, Amad, Pellistri and Elanga are all probably at a similar level to Veron currently (just based on relative reputations and what I've seen, as mentioned I haven't seen him enough to say with any certainty).

Reminds me of Veron, do not want

More a case that they do.

I agree with this. I’d rather a second contract CM or ST. We have enough pacy wide forwards that we aren’t getting any use out of

He was much higher touted at youth level, where he won U17 WC. In the pros he hasn’t set the world on fire and had inumerous injuries. He is rapid but his injury record at his age is worrisome, and he’s very pace dependant as he isnt a virtuoso

Would we not be better off going for someone like Endrick or Matheus Nascimento if we're scouting Brazilian youth?

Endrick - The whole world wants him

Nascimento - Looks like Tostão at youth ranks, has looked bang average as a professional, although its normal for his age.
