Messinho | 16 year old Palmeiras winger

[FortunaUtd]

Estêvão Willian Almeida de Oliveira Gonçalves (born 24 April 2007), known as Messinho or Estevão, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a winger for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Palmeiras.

That is me copy-pasting from Wikipedia. I know absolutely nothing about the player and had not known he existed until I read his name, to great hilarity, in the transfer tweet thread today.
But I wanted to be the poster who created the first ever thread on the future greatest attacker of all time. Surely nothing less is in the cards for this kid.

Messinho best footballer name ever.

Barcelona has been sniffing around for a while now already for him. Like they did with Victor Roque & Endrick before that.

LuckyScout might do a write up about him in 10 years or so if he makes it big

 

[FortunaUtd]

Does he combine Brazilian flair and trickery with the tirelessly precise attacking impetus of Argentine's GOAT? I am sure he does.

 

[CallyRed]

Can't wait for a Ronaldinho equivalent to appear

Plot twist: he already did, 10 years ago.

 

[tenpoless]

Calm down dad jesus christ man what is that name.

 

[Champ]

Adnan and lucky scout probably knew about him when he was in the womb.

Expect a write up and a couple of essays shortly.

 

[Scandi Red]

Little Messi? Must be a hobbit!

 

[Zen86]

Sounds like someone got into the editor in Football Manager.

 

[MrMarcello]

He's no Chris Byland.

 

[Red Star One]

I know him (as Estevao) as he's already quite hyped and targeted by some European clubs, but had no idea he has this nickname

 

[tenpoless]

The british equivalent would be Gazooney.

 

[Oranges038]

The british equivalent would be Gazooney.

Already had Wazza.

 

[kopviolator]

i dont care about abilities. Not this time. Just get!

 

[horsechoker]

He's no Peledona that's for sure

 

[Flying_Heckfish]

We must find the next (small) Messi!

 

[IrishMcD]

Can't wait for a Phil Babbinho to come along, or Gary Breeninho. With the large Brazilian population in Ireland now, surely its only a matter of time before we have a team of samba superstars. Ye English lads can have Rory Delaps young lad, the long throwing, FA Cup looking cnut.

Lots of talk that this guy is gonna be a Neymar level talent. He’s already been linked to the big teams for 60m+. A left footed right winger with incredible balance, pace, end product and decent strength for his age. Looks very exciting to me. I think we’re out of the conversation for him, even with INEOS and I can see him going to PSG.

Realistically, although he’s likely an elite talent, we need someone who can contribute immediately and we already have a very promising young right winger in Shea Lacey. Maybe things will change dramatically in 2 years when Estevao is 18 and can leave Brazil but I doubt he won’t get snapped up elsewhere before then.

 

[led_scholes]

It reminds me of a meme of Messi's name in other countries. Mac Messi for Scotland etc.

 

[Grande]

Can't wait for a Ronaldinhinho equivalent to appear

Fxd

 

[tenpoless]

Already had Wazza.

Yea but that doesnt sound silly

 

[Ali Dia]

Jesus he looks like an amazing dribbler, a very natural footballer. I always say it but he turns world class in FM

 

[2 man midfield]

Already had Wazza.

How did I make it this far in life before realising Rooney’s nickname is a play on Gazza?

 

[Red00012]

Can't wait for a Ronaldinho equivalent to appear

Ronaldo?

 

[Heinzesight]

Christ…all this time I’ve never made the connection either.

 

[Withnail]

Christ…all this time I’ve never made the connection either.

Oh ffs

 

[lex talionis]

His actual name is Messiahinho.

 

[Ibrahimorich]

Finally, we can sign the new Messi!

 

[Scottynaldinho]

Get him.

 

[In Rainbows]

Yeah, just looking at the highlights, you can see the balance during his dribbling is impressive. It allows him to make sudden shifts with the ball.

 

[Andycoleno9]

You simply can't beat this name football wise.

 

[Scottynaldinho]

He is incredible.

 

[arthurka]

Max Power is still better, the name at least.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

These Football Manager regens are becoming a bit unrealistic now.

 

[redNATION]

You simply can't beat this name football wise.

Others probably come close - Maradonainho, Peleinho, Cristiano Ronaldinho

 

[kopviolator]

His actual name is Messiahinho.

I heard it was Messiasinho, and when he plays it's like he's gliding on water

 

[Andycoleno9]

I heard that Jude Bellingham rat him to officials for that.

I will get my coat now.

Ass. He would do anything for 30 pieces of silver
