Wesley (Brazilian right back)

[oldius]

think someone described him as a Brazilian Rico Lewis, hope to god that's bollocks and that you're right.

Well I rate Rico, so I would be pleased with that.

 

[mancboy]

i agree.
although Walkers success in that period was largely due to blistering pace covering counters.
Not discounting having Vini jr in his pocket but it was his pace.
Pace is something that nunes has, shame he seems to lack defensive intelligence.
pace is vital imo. maybe pep plays khusanov there.

maybe but once again thats putting a square peg in a round hole, look how much better gvardiol is at centre back than left back

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Looks pacy and more like Cancelo in style to me. Has great skill / forward running and not a defensive full back.

Should help to break down stubborn teams. Use Akanji / Khusanov at RB against the Vini Jrs of the world.

I wonder if Viana is doing the lesser type player signings like Costa, Wesley etc and Txiki doing the Wirtz, Reijnders type signings?

 

[Lord Blue]

i rate him too. but further forward.

i suspect if he was the answer to the right back problem we wouldn't be having this thread though

 

[Lord Blue]

Obligatory look on youtube and I am impressed, mind you youtube could even make me look half decent.

i saw lots of good crosses on youtube. pep will soon put a stop to that nonsense sadly.

I think viana is capable of getting the big signings over the line to, wasnt his MO at sporting to do one big name signing and then quite a few supplementary signings, maybe its two big names and supplementary signings although in this day and age is 60m even a big name signing anymore

I suspect we want some full-backs because of defensive changes. So far, we have recruited central defenders despite the loss of Walker, which suggests that others will leave. I see Rico more as an 8/10, but think he is very capable as a full-back in a cohesive team, but we have not been that for much of this year. He is not alone in not having as good a season as before.

Possibly mate and maybe i`m doing Hugo a disservice but just wondered if the Wirtz deal is such a biggie and there will be a shit ton of bonuses etc that maybe Hugo was doing the Brazilian signings and the likes of Costa and Txiki focusing on say the Wirtz dealing?

I think stones is the one on the block, he is an incredible footballer but availibility is the best ability and he is never available

quite possibly but i do think hugo will be tangibly involved in it, apparently he is an incredibly good negotiator

Indeed. In my view, the best defender we have had. Kompany's choice as the best defender he played with. But we cannot rely on his fitness.

 

[GX Blue]

You can never trust a Brazilian footballer with a boring name.

Fred. Jo. Alisson. Antony. Need I go on?

The spellings don't fool me. If it's Anglicized, avoid.

Alan?

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Low risk, high reward punt. Work FB for a decade, doesn't enjoy Girona.

can you upload the video here? because the one I saw on youtube was not impressive at all

The music needs to be turned down it's appalling :)

Not impressed at all. Vanderson at Monaco is right there for cheaper and has played in europe

To be fair the club wont buy off of the back of a youtube video, if he fits into a jigsaw we want we'll buy him.

I know our recent transfers look unplanned and not working but with a fully fit Rodri, Stones and Kev we win this league again, it's just unfortunate the Rodri injury and Kev and Phil's drop off happened.

I’ve watched him against Argentina. He is clumsy, can’t defend just fouls. He’s fast but it’s not Walker recovery pace fast. He just dribbles alot like a winger obsessed with highlight reels.

i think he looks decent with plenty of room to grow.
