I was just telling people how much we needed a centre back.

Were those people Txixi and Pep, by any chance?

I like that, Brazilian accounts are saying his greatest strength is his intelligence and anticipation off the ball. Knows when to cut out passes and commit on a 1v1

 

[Ezy]

Oh how these days were missed thats my club hahaha

 

[MCFCFanTX]

If true, we beat Real Madrid to his signature. Thought he was going there for sure.

Christian Romero sort of profile. Needs to continue to develop physically.

 

[Barcon]

Oh how these days were missed thats my club hahaha

Pardon?

 

[Mancityphilfo2000]

That was fast!

Does that mean khymysanov is of?

 

[Ezy]

Pardon?

Fast movement, buying young talent

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Reminds me of a RIGHT FOOTED Laporte!

40mil for an 18 year old CB? Not the strongest league either.

 

[pudge]

Who the fuck is this kid and why are we apparently spending quite a wedge on him?

 

[krisblue]

ChatGPT says he has what it takes to become one of the best defenders of his generation, so I'm sold.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

They not got a shot hot CM as well? Rios? Get him too

To be fair, the fact that we can get a work permit for this lad suggests that he's quite the prospect. Teenagers from the Brazilian league tend to end up at Real Madrid before British clubs can get near them.

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

Were those people Txixi and Pep, by any chance?

Absolutely. Just got out of dinner with them.

 

[Dribble]

He's got a touch of Fernandinho dark arts about him... :-)

 

[ScottSinclair]

The thing about Brazil is that the strikers and playmakers are what ypu associate them with, but their production of cente-backs is far mlre consistent and impressive.

 

[Dax777]

Thought he was some German midfielder from the name :(

 

[Gumzy97]

This is interesting Reis is a Sporting target. He was on the radar of Sporting. This might be a Viana target

 

[jollylescott]

What a coincidence. I was just saying to my mates at the pub the other night.that we should be signing Vitor Reis. They told me it was too much of a Reisk to buy an 18 year old :)
