themightyblue 443 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Unpopular opinion here, sorru, but I agree. Not that he isn't a good talent - but the whole fact he is a young playmaker from Brazil generally makes people overrate him. I remember when we wee first looking to sign him, no one had even heard of him but quite alot of people were saying he would be going straight into the first team, (not necessarily on this forum). And his first few months in England were actually quite poor, it was not until the latter stages of the FAYC that he grew into things and showed some of his talent, but he somehow automatically became our reserves' best player. He has also looked pretty poor in his first team appearances so far(bar Villa). Generally I find he always over dribbles the ball, both at youth and the couple of starts he had, will get past one and then panics, becomes indicisive, and dribbles into a defender. Once he learns when to release it he can become a good player.So are the club overrating him then? The ones who see him day in day out, promoted him to training with the first team, gave him the player of the season award last season. The guy has been our best player in the Next Gen games according to most and overall has been one of our best in the reserve team. In fact he was being slated after the game against United a few months back so I don't see where the 'overrate' him stuff has come from, but in the games against Wolves and Villa he's done very well. The only thing I'd agree on is that he does hold on to the ball far too long which means he gets caught out, but that'll improve as he gets games and plays more competitively. Other than that he's a massive talent, nothing to do with him Brazilian or anything of the sort The only place to be, Rmpr and daBlackMamba7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Manuel Pellegrini could include him in the line-up for the UEFA Champions League, as he was on the bench with Chelsea FC during the competition.Would be fantastic if he got CL experience while there!

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hopefully he's able to get some minutes, but this might be too aggressive of a loan imo. Hopefully proves me wrong. xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJames 729 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hmmm maybe they are thinking of luring him after when the loan ends? I hope not, I kind of liked him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 It is commonplace in Spain for many supporters to crowd the stadium - even for minor signings - to show their support and welcome them to the club. It's a very nice gesture, in my opinion.Best of luck, Lucas! Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
