eldo 868 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 had pleasure of watching new chelsea recruit lucas piazon at the u17 sudamericano in ecuador. great player but talk of "new kaka" nonsensethe kaka thing probably originates from physical resemblance (face) than playing style, lucas is (currently) an all round forwardmight eventually end up as a cfwd, right now (early development) he likes to roam. powerful, intelligent, excellent technique, movementcultured, quality in everything he does (passing, finishing, link-up play, decisions) - potential unquestionablehttp://twitter.com/karlsentk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 While the ludicrous Di Santo the new Maradona claim (whichever journalist came to that conclusion should be sacked) has made people wary of these dubbed the new (fill blank here) predictions, but ive seen him a couple of times and he looks preety special.The Kaka comparisons are a bit extreme at the moment but mix the fact that he is from Sao Paulo, looks a bit like him, plays with freedom and is signed by Carlo Ancelotti there is naturally going to be a few murmurings.Given the low price tag 拢5m could rise to 拢10m based on appearances and progress, if he turns as good as his potential we have a world class player for next to nothing (in this current market) so i see it as a win win as 拢5m these days aint that much of a risk because if he "does a Sinclair" we could probally sell him on at a profit (although im sure it wont come to that) but if he pays off we could be sitting here with a world class player for peanuts while our rivals are fighting out over a 拢40m rated player.In short we could be sitting here laughing.

Kostas 1,468 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Shut up. Think about it. Who else we gonna have when Lamps and Essien is gone. We need attacking/creative midfielders and that's what they are.You're wanking over random 17 year old midfielders establishing themselves in one of Europe's top 5 teams. I'm not even going to have this discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillerz 19 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 anyone know how much his transfer fee was?5.8 million pounds cash with further add-on in future up-to 10 million pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I think a reality check is needed. Or less time spent on FM/PES.Absolutely.Most people have probably never even seen him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve5221 91 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 He must have the ability, but thier are alot of factors on whether he will make it at the very top level. Being young and coming half way across the world will be a culture shock to him. Plus off the field nowdays is important for young players, lets hope they don't let Ashley Cole look after him!!!!!

Kostas 1,468 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yeah and? More like I have faith in our young players and future.You've barely seen them play! That's not faith that's football muppetry. DYC. and neel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spuz 143 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Could Piazon and McEachran be a irresistible dynamic midfield duo? Possibly with Hamsik in there too How dare you dream about the future !!!Gatusso and Pirlo are Carlo's summer transfer targets.He must have the ability, but thier are alot of factors on whether he will make it at the very top level. Being young and coming half way across the world will be a culture shock to him. Plus off the field nowdays is important for young players, lets hope they don't let Ashley Cole look after him!!!!!Cashley will hook him up with a fit blonde or two,don't you worry about that.

Henri 115 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Chelsea has signed a lot of young talentet players who did`nt made it at the academy, so let us hold our horses. Carlos gotan brasilism, personally i think we got enough players from Brasil now. I dont think its healthy for the team spirit when its dominated by players from one country, at least not when things a going wrong - the french connection anybody?. I think we should be more focused on defence and midfield in the future. The day Lampard and Terry end there careers, what then?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EskWeston 696 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Excellent deal for us and something of a Landmark, signing a young talented brazilian straight from Brazil.What have signed though is potential, that is all you sign when you sign a young player or you are trying to bring through a youngster, there is no gurantees. It is down to the club, manager and coaches to realise that potential. Unfortunately at the moment we have not good a good record on that score but that could very easily change in the near future.

gary gordon 1,777 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I watched him recently vs Uruguay in the u17s and i must say he seems quite lazy . Brazil went down to 10 men early which effected the structure of the team but he really failed to shine. I know he is only 17 but i think he needs a lot of time under our midfielders before he can even consider getting near the reserves... something about him just didn't interest me.. I guess i could be wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldo 868 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 What kind of football did teams play? If it was crappy high balls stuff, kicking it from one half to other then I'm not surprised. I watched Brazil-Chile. Football was awful, both Pedro Paulo and Piazon looked bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
