Danilo

[Decepticon]

Excellent signing, underrated player.

How old is this kid and is he any good? ta

I know he's 26, but I also don't know much about the man. Anyone familiar with his style of play and qualities?

He's a great player that became something of a utility player at Madrid (unfairly in my opinion). Unlike all the other fullbacks that we're linked with, Danilo likes to cut inside and he's got a pretty decent shot on him. I don't think that there's any player quite like him in the EPL, so it will be interesting to see how the opposition try to deal with him.

He's 26 yo. He can play both RB and LB and is a very good back up for those positions.

I can't speak to how often he played there in Brazil but I remember both him and Alex Sandro were signed as midfielders, then converted into arguably the best fullback combination on Europe

Alex Sandro and Danilo played as fullbacks at least 90% of the time in Brazil. If you can find any semi-reliable source saying they were signed as mdifielders I'd be amazed.

A strange move by Pep, tbh. He has been a disaster at RM, absolutely overrated. Will be quite an achievement to get much out of him. Wonder what sort of deal it might be, loan?

Cutting inside would suggest he's left footed? Perhaps we see Mendy & Walker as FBs with Danilo cover for both sides?

Is this a joke?

In case it's not, the Danilo we're signing is Brazilian, plays RB for Real Madrid. The Danilo you're thinking of, Danilo Pereira plays for Porto in midfield.



And Fabinho has played about 1 1/2 seasons in midfield.

My bad got the 2 mixed up

 

[PJM1891]

Id hazard a guess he replaces the mystery CB we were due to sign.

Edit; I thought city and Real Madrid agreed some sort of transfer truce, anyone any ideas?

I'm guessing that's for players the clubs don't wanna sell, for example they won't come bidding on Aguero. Difference here is Real want's to sell so.
