Rumoured Mosquito

[lucio 5,418]

looks seriously strong for 17. like a younger diego costa but not as tall.

and his name is as good as it gets so get your wallet out roman.

[Waterfall 893]

Looks a decent prospect...

But at that age...it's not hard to be a star.. (Even Mikel was the 2nd best player at U-17 championship)

If we can get a player of Mikel's level for 4M, that's a steal.

buy, send to Chelsea B (aka Vitesse) - never see again

You are not funny.............

Having such a developed body so young means that any cracks in his game will probably be covered up by brute force for the next few years - a la Lukaku - but that's not always a bad thing. (I'd happily welcome that style of play from our strikers right now.) This looks like a player ready for proper manly football. Most players his age look scrawny and shit. This transfer would excite me massively. He'd destroy Eredivisie defences.

Can't find him on FIFA 14.

^^ thing is that in other countries they don't carry the nicknames into their professional names, so it won't happen. Then in America (and other countries) once the guy is famous they give them some nickname, like Shaq for Shaquile O'Neal and others, so people will call them that when talking about them, but their professional names will continue to be their last names.

In Brazil we always use the first name and nicknames are kept over birth names and last names are rarely used. Cafu, Branco, Dedé, Zico, Tostão, Hulk, Ganso, Pato, Kaká, Mineiro, Bebeto, Zinho, Mazinho, Jô, Fred are all nicknames in addition to the diminutives Ronaldinho, Juninho, Marquinhos, Paulinho, etc...

Okay then, a head line when he scores an only goal of the game:

"Chelsea win as xteam is Mosquito bitten"

Awesome!

To be fair, Nathan is the one I have been the most impressed with in that Brazil U17 team.

Mosquito fluffed a fair amount of chances.

My favourites were Nathan, Auro and Boschilia. But I could just see Mosquito becoming a monster of a striker in 2 or 3 years. But yeah, Nathan could be Ballon d'Or winner if he reaches his full potential from what I saw of him.

I started watching these youth tournaments a few years back because of Tim Vickery, and they're great to give us a look into the new generation of footballers of tomorrow, especially when you watch the likes of Brazil, Spain and Argentina as they put great emphasis on their youth systems.

Good contribution to the topic at hand

However, I would like to see Nathan play more, but would be happy with this transfer.
