If teams like Barca feel, he needs more experience in a bigger league before he's ready for a big team like Barca, us etc.....maybe a loan deal like with Moreno is likely?
Buy him now, loan out for a couple of seasons, earning his amortisation back, or close to it in loan fees. He either turns into the next Neymar and we're laughing, or the next Robinho and then we try and get £15m for him which shouldn't be hard. Same with Moreno and I can see it being standard practice for a lot of the South Americans. Better than having to spend £100m+ on the one who makes it.
Heard Tim Vickery on radio yesterday and he mentioned him and another Gabriel, who I think was also Brazilian. He said both need to do more to justify their reputations, which might explain the Barca view and why I expect we won't see him here for a while.
