This season Santos was one of the worst teams I've ever watched and If It wasn't for Neymar they would be relegated again. What caught me the eye most of their games was the fact none of their players could control or pass a football, seems a good fit for us.

Hope the kid comes good.
Can’t wait for some of our fans calling him the next Roberto Carlos when he passes the ball five yards.

Southampton finished 8th and got to an FA Cup Final in the season after Le Tissier retired.
And Spurs got to 5th the season after Kane left, and won the Europa the season after that.
Everyman and his dog could see the drop off though.
Won't have enough points to qualify for a GBE so would have to take up one of our ESC slots.
Not even with the fee? I thought thatbwas one of the factors to gaining a WP?
No point going on loan straight away. Let’s see what he has got asap and if it’s better than Udogie. We need a fix in that later side and to permanently move Spence to the right.
If he doesn’t get much of a look-in, loan next season
I agree. Then a solid base in front would allow wing backs to attack plus let VDV and Romero do their ball carrying thing too. It’s not like any of our wingers are pwopa elite anyway
....and the next Gilberto when he doesn't!
If you have wing backs with speed and a good engine I've always thought it was a very difficult formation to defend against. The occasions when Rose and Walker played together the season we came 2nd to Chavs (who werent in Europe so one game a week and no overseas flights/stays) we looked dynamite, even on a smaller WHL pitch.
I also think it's easier to identify youth that suit. Ideally get a conveyor belt of super athletic kids and then focus on getting them to cross with both feet. Hey presto.
This managing a football club is easy after all innit!
I will reserve judgment until I see the kid play but hopefully this isn’t another Emerson Royal.
We’ll know from his first few touches which direction his career is going to go.

Wow - normally our fans at least give a player a few games before deciding he's totally useless, this fella is only going to get a few touches? :/
It's going to be a big change for him, not just the football, but the whole life - I certainly won't be writing him off if nerves, or not yet being adjusted to the pace of our game, or whatever, means that he miscontrols a couple of balls or messes up a couple of passes in his first game. If the fans are on his back from day one, he'll never have a proper chance to show us whether or not he can become a useful player for us.
If he's even half the player that Emerson Royale was, we've got a real talent on our hands
He was poor technically, but always gave 110% and for that he has my respect & thanks.
Yeah Emerson was some player....
