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.How old is this kid and is he any good? ta
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.
Cutting inside would suggest he's left footed? Perhaps we see Mendy & Walker as FBs with Danilo cover for both sides?He's a great player that became something of a utility player at Madrid (unfairly in my opinion).

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
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.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?

Thank you hunTurned 26 last week.
Was exceptional, the most sought after right back in the World two years ago when Madrid signed him for £30 million before the window opened!
Better than Sagna or Zaba so yet further improvement!

Pretty sure he was going to Juve as replacement for Alves but they chose Costa as their foreign player, teams must see something in him, only time will tell if he does sign

Don't rate him THAT highly, but as has been said, another massive improvement on our right-backs from last season.
Defensively wobbly but quality going forward, Pep can turn him in to a monster.

Would make sense, I like the idea we've got a pact with RM like that. Although you do have to wonder what other things are going on behind closed doorsI'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.

When did he call that? Because he was definitely not the first with the Dani Alves thing, though fair fucks to him actually reporting it correctly.Duncan Castles just keeps calling transfers before anyone else. How is that **** so well connected?
