Arlen Correa

He was not called to the nt again. The coach Tite is talking about three U-20 of the local league ahead of Fabinho. I was watching the last Monaco game and he looks great in possession and passing, but i think he's slow in the defense. is not so hard to dribble him Doesn't looks a DM to me, maybe if the system was 4-2-3-1.

Should lock this thread. They are moking us in that Juventuz site. The entire thing is pathetic.

If i were a coach my line up would be 100% guys like Costa, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Dele Ali, Dani Alves, etc.

What he said is not offensive and the chinese know it. Blocking free speech or eating dogs is worse.

Off topic Matic was brilliant against Madrid and this is the dumbest window ever; Morata + Bakayoko are inferior to Costa/Matic.

The objective of this window is to undermine the team at every new sign/replacement.

He's not looking average, he really is. From all those getable strikers in this window the only i rate is Belotti.

Sell.

Pedro-Morata-Hazard is a weak attack, and its not Hazard's fault..

We shoud sign this player Guilherme Arana(20) and save £50mi. I remember when Alex Sandro was 20 years old playing for Santos and Arana is better. Funny thing is: we could translate his name to English and call him "Willian Spider". Cool name too.

I remember at some point in the end of the last season Neymar had more chances created than Messi and Suarez in all competitions and was doing the work of the entire midfield in terms of attack. If you watch Neymar in the NT, when he can play with freedom, you can see how good he is. Watch Brazil x Argentina in the South American qualify and take your conclusions. Neymar in 4 games in the World Cup scored 1 goals less than Messsi in 12 games. Messi can decide any game against any team, but only if the situation do not become a war. He doesnt have nerves for a war. In his NT he only play well against small sides. He's a club-level-player. Even Coutinho is better than Messi at NT-level. A player who is only good on an environment where everything exist to support him should not be hailed so high. The day when Messi starts deciding games against top NTs, like Neymar always does, i'll agree with your post.

In that game against Liverpool he started with low confidence missing some easy passes, but after some minutes he was pretty good imo. Dont know why they're hating. He was one of their few decent players there, with Ribery. He's got huge potential.

I probably could give $1000 if Chelsea was about to sign Neymar or another top attacking player, but not a full back. Theres no excuse to not be able to develop a full back...every year there's another one in Brazilian clubs that dont have 10% of Chelsea money. The academy should be only to form full backs and CBs, then the club could save the money to buy top attacking players.

Yes Wendel is a superior player but is a box2box very skilfull and that scores some wordies, but i cant compare players from different positions. I think Richarlison can get a work permit because Fluminense is a traditional club, Brazilian League gives you a lot of points and he's playing in the South American Cup too. If you go to Netflu(fluminense fans site) and type Richarlison you will see that until two, three months ago the opinions there were divided on Richarlison because he tends to be headless chicken when the team is losing and he tries to do everything by himself. He's very selfish in the attack too. But the fact he can finish with both legs with the same level is impressive. And he's getting better month after month. I think he's a EPL player in terms of style and move to a club like Watford is the best for him now. Is not a player to be wasted in the loan-policy imo.

I think he will really succeed there. The guy saying he's not that good, need to see when he saw him playing and how many times; because Richarlison just turned 20 years old and last year he was backing from injuries all the time and the fans and the media in Rio thought he was average at best. Since i follow youth football i knew his potential and that he would become good at some point. In fact he is playing in high level only in the last 6 months. He's not a balon d'or material but i bet Watford will sell him for £80 mi.

Yes, he's very calm for a 20 years old guy and has excellent skills. I was reading that site of the Lille fans(using the google translate), apparently he made a very good cameo in his debut under Bielsa. In general Brazilian defenders/full backs and attacking players tend to have the same level or superior in Europe, but the midfielders flop on a colossal percentage; so we need to see if he will adapt.

Yep. Apparently Ajax offer was €12mi and Watfords €15mi. I dont think a move to a big EPL club would be the best option right now; this loan-system will not work with Brazilians. But i bet he will score much more playing in those impecable pitches and in less hostile environments.

So, who cares now? Danilo has nothing to do with Chelsea.

Well, since this is the off topic page, only me or someone else thinks this window is wrong? 1 - Diego Costa is a cnut but we should tolerate hin one more season because of his CL experience and we already know what to expect from him. 2 - a passing/controling midfielder is important in the CL or you will not have time to breath in some games against top sides. 3 - full backs or wing backs should not be a issue now. 4 - number one priority should be another top top winger. A game changer. 5 - Conte wants top full backs because is the only way to play back three in the CL and dont get obliterated like Bayern against Barca in 2015...we need to find the right formation to play back 4 in the CL.

Alex Sandro-Hazard. . Can't wait.

The guy was probably talking about WENDELL(19); Richarlisons teammate. He's a very skilfull box2box who scores amazing long ranges. I agree, Wendell is a superior footballer, but is hard to compare since he's part of the defensive system and attacking players tend to have more highlights in the football world. When you see the media talking about some new Brazilian player, is better to search his name in the papers: O Globo; O Lance, G1; Espn Brasil. The translation Portuguese/English in the Google is pretty good and its easy to realize what's the real opinion on the player. About the guy saying he's not particulary good, of course is an opinion; but Brazilian fans will say that about the vast majority of attacking players..they have a unrealistic standard in their minds. Kaka, Rivaldo, Bebeto, etc; all were booed by their fans in their time. The typical Brazilian fan only supports the club, not the players. Richarlison had two injuries last year and was struggling in the start of this season to gain form; but now you can see he's getting better and better month after month. Dont know if will be wc. Probably. But is NT material for sure. About Gabriel Jesus; he's not a trick winger. More like a player with impact in the games and good IQ to find spaces. Not saying he's average, some players you just dont know why they're good, like Thomas Muller. Richarlison is better than GJ imo because he can finish with both legs with same level. GJ has a weak left. By what i know he's going to Ajax.

1 - none of those players were good in the professional. Dont know if its only poor scout system or another thing. 2 - A strong scout system in Brazil/France/Argentina should be a pretty obvious strategy. Chelsea never signed ONE top player right from Brazil. Only kids with few professional experience and gambles. 3 - Richarlison has the same age as Gabriel Jesus(20), he(Richarlison) was supposed to be better, but in 2016 Gabriel Jesus was in the richest team of the continent and current Brazilian champion - Palmeiras, while Richarlison was playing for a poor/struggling Fluminense and had two injuries in the feet. Now he's carrying this poor team filled with U-20. 4 - If Gabriel Jesus cam be starter in the EPL, Richarlison can do it too, he's an overall better player. I think i was the first to talk about the player here, but he will not come to Chelsea, he will sign for Ajax.

This player is the example of pour scout system. He was good in the U-20 but not in the professional. In Brazil the wc prospects are the best in their clubs with 19/20 years; was not his case. Everytime you heard about some "Brazilian wonder kid", first thing to do is to google his name and check it out if he's playing in high level in the professional. Another thing is: in the first three months of the year we have State Leagues. Can't judge players based on their performances in those tournaments.

Lol i saw it in the Dailymail and came here to say that Conte is stalking my posts in this thread.
