petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Santos president in London to listen to Chelsea's offer for Thiago Maia. http://www.goal.com/br/news/15062/ora-bolas-por-bruno-andrade/2016/08/08/26329212/ora-bolas-presidente-do-santos-está-em-londres-por-thiago-maia-e-?ICID=SP_HN_1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Sign him up. Looked good for Brazil. Uses both feet seamlessly, calm, passes well, knows how to regulate the tempo and likes to quick up the action with one forward pass. Understands his position and looks tactically astute. Not bad technique either. Plays like a professor, yet he is 19. Can't say if he is better than Ruben Neves, Tielemans, Renato Sanches or Bazoer in 2 matches, all I can say is that I can spot a fraud in 30 minutes and he is definitely not one.

Artandur 939 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Does anybody have a video that showcases what kind of player he is ? Everything on yt says "skills & goals", which tells me jack shit about a defensive player... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obiwan92 217 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 So would he be an immediate backup to Kante and Matic or would he be loaned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 If the descriptions I've read about him are truthful, then I'm hyped. Hopefully he's good enough to slot in our team right away, either as a sub or first XI. We need the player that I've read about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 For 20m€ that Santos wants for him, we're entering Kante's territory of value for money reasonability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, signing a young promising (flop or not) Brazilian CM makes no difference to us signing a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can improve the defence but if the midfield is bad then our defence is gonna be just as bad.Our midfielders need to support our defence which they haven't done with Kante of course is gonna get better but Kante can't play alone he needs someone and Thiago Maia would be great.

You're so annoyingly ignorant "Random guy" if you don't know much about him fine but don't act like he is some nobody. He is a young Brazilian who plays for the biggest Brazilian team and now is getting a look in at the national level who is being scouted by a number of big European club. Us signing him has ZERO effect on our pursuit of a top Defender. Clubs are able to scout, negotiate and sign more that one player at a time.
