Vitor Reis | £29.4m deal agreed (p43)

remember when we all hyped up Kayky as the next womderkid from brazil.

I wouldn't be getting giddy he starts straight off the plane, adjustments will be needed, I expect Khushanov to get games earlier than this lad this season, next year will be thier year though to form a solid partnership.

then again Pep may play them at full back or DM or some.other experimental position ;-)

I know but I’d be more confident in this one. He has a better standing in the game in Brazil and cost 4 times that of Kayky.

It’s like signing Edozie or Palmer from City.

I've watched a few clips now and you can see why we like him.

He plays like a young John Stones. Very cool and composed in possession and has those accurate diagonal passes in his locker, clipping them out wide into full backs or wingers.

Seems to read the game well and times his tackles well. Him and Khusanov could compliment each other well in future.

A mad bastard paired with a Rolls Royce. An ideal partnership!

Deal done

Wonderful news!

I have genuinely never seen this guy kick a ball.

The Argentina league is brutal, the Brazilian is not, it is a mixture of young players wanting to impress, with their clubs making money, and older players who know they will not make it. Which is why Arthur looked brilliant, until he came to Europe. He is elegant, a class act lets see if he can improve.

Both leagues are. There are plenty of young Brazilians that came to the PL and didn’t look out of place.

2 seasons before he gets a start?! I don’t think so. We will see.

So hes a center back? Wonder what postion pep will shoehorn him into

Last one in plays left back. So he will be going there until we sign someone else!

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

wooo

 

[bell_mcfc]

This is excellent news. Obviously a great talent so could be an amazing signing but we haven’t been bullied into paying more or missing out.

Looks like Viana (if involved) could negotiate some good deals yet. Khusanov and Marmoush the same.

He's the new Rodri ;-)

 

[Sebi]

He is 19 now?
Too old.
And another talent?
Pep can`t work with talents.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

It’s all very exciting isn’t it. Transfers are the best when you literally have no clue about how the signing plays the game. Can’t wait to see the new guys in action, and also curious to see how involved the two young centre backs are this season. It’s still a bit of an unknown.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Welcome to the greatest club in the world Vitor.

Hopefully you end up as good as Vinny!

 

[Stoned Rose]

Not fucking about are we.

 

[hihosilva]

He can play right back or central. Looks a talent.

 

[Goldust]

I reckon he could be used in midfield to start with.

 

[citytill1die84]

Excellent price

 

[Cityfan]

I reckon he could be used in midfield to start with.

I'd be amazed if we stuck an 18 yr old centre back straight into midfield.
I'd imagine he'll start of as a sub and get used at the back either centre back or full back in back 3,4 or 5.
