Brazilian centre half, anyone know much about him (except that he's good on Football Manager)?

apparently he has been dubbed "the new thiago silva" and he's 23 years old.

i know absolutely nothing else about him.
 
The top clubs of Europe including our neighbours and Real Madrid have been linked with him quite a lot, recently Milan where he was touted as Thiago Silva's replacement had he gone to PSG. He's about the same height as Kompany.

Here's a cool video of him repeatedly owning former City transfer legend Vagner Love.

At 3:47 in this video he is doing the heart thing that Bale does. Maybe this is what TH was referring to.

edit: Also if you google "dede vasco" one of the top images is him doing the heart thing

Probably no relation, but who knows
 
My dream signing, I hope it comes off with us signing him.

He reminds me a bit of Kompany and the Roma CB Juan; he is big, dominant and strong in the tackle, classy with the ball and makes some good forward runs. He is also a good FK taker and scores a few goals from corners. I don't know about the Thiago Silva comparison though as TS is exceptionally quick where as Dede does n't have anywhere near the same pace. He was abit clumbsy in his younger days and still has a cumbersome look to him, but I suppose it's just the way he moves, which comes from being a big guy;he is between 6'3 and 6'4.

here is a good bio of him

and here is a good youtube clip of him that I posted in another thread.

Another player worth looking at from Vasco da Gama is Romulo; a classy ball playing, possession orientated CDM compared to Sergio Busquets. He has 5 caps for the selecao and might be worth bringing over with Dede in a double deal, they may settle quicker and would help establish us as an attractive destination for future Brazilian prospects. I don't know too much about him, so has anybody seen enough of him to shed a light on whether he is as good as they say he is.
 
If the Sambafoot website is creditable then this sounds a very shrewd move.
 
would love for this to be true! lescott has been immense however hes not getting any younger and this guy will take us to the next level.

Aguero isn't getting any younger either...

Yeah he is an absolute beast!!! He is a right footed RCB though so Kompany would have to move back over to his less favoured position on the left, should n't be too much of problem though as he played well in that position alongside Kolo. It would give us a good option with regards to rotation though as he could play alongside both Kompany and Lescott, and I would n't really feel confident playing a left footed CB alongside Lescott. However I can spot one potential issue though, is it just me or does Dede not stike you as one of those CBs who is particularly good at covering the full back position, something that Lescott and Toure have been quite good at when playing alongside Vinnie.

Wants to stay.
 
It's one local report so people shouldn't get too excited, remember South American media saying we were signing Coates this time last year and we never even made a bid for him in the end. Dede is just the latest player linked, that's five defenders in the last week we're supposed to be buying (Skrtel, Godin, Dede, Ranocchia, Peluso). But you have to think this would be a healthy route to take, buying the next Thiago Silva instead of the current Thiago Silva (£16million vs. £40million).

Wants to stay.

A lot of Brazilians seem happy to stay there now, but... Vasco are $185million in debt* and might have different ideas than Dede if a good offer comes in.

Unless Aguero ages backwards, he isn't wrong.
 
He's playing now if anyone's interested. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/127715/1/watch-vasco-da-gama-rj-vs-cruzeiro.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/127715/ ... zeiro.html</a>
