Fabinho

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Obviously a good player, but... has he got the pace required to track back counter attacking opponents?

He's got decent pace, that won't be a problem.

How good is he? Im not sure he is better than Dinho

On last seasons showing he has to be, and he's only 23 so you can't expect him to be at his peak yet. I suspect it'll be like having a 13/14 season Dinho back in the side, and he can learn from the man himself.

Considerably better than the Fernandinho we've seen this year.

Also a much better passer and much more naturally suited to the hybrid RB/Midfield role Ferna has been playing.

He can play at RB very well

No he can't. And he don't enjoy it anymore.
Tho, that can be your number 1 argument for sign him. He want to play the world cup more than anything, and since he's not call as a midfielder (don't ask me why, he is one of the best CDM in europe), he want to give a try at RB once again to play the world cup.

Tho, you'll be dissapointed if you look for a top RB.

This would be an excellent signing.....I see him as a 9 years younger vision of Fernandinho! Excellent on the ball, solid DM and seamlessly slot into RB position when needed. Pep likes smaller squad and this guy is excellent at both DM and RB. I dont see any downside to this signing. He's a quicker, strong vision of Fernandinho and can score a few goals as well.

If we could start our summer signings with Fabinho, Walker and Ederson.....we'd be reducing the age of our squad greatly and becoming stronger, quicker in the process....Just need to add a LB and keep Kompany healthy and we'd be looking alot stronger for next season

How good is his technical ability on the ball and his passing?

 

[pudge]

Is he 23 years old or is he 23 like Diego Costa says he's 28 years old?

He's a great signing because of his flexibility. He could play CDM, RB and even a CB in a back three.

Goodie.
