No not saying that, I was just asking how real handled endrick, he's also only young, I don't follow other teams so I had no idea if they are loaning him keeping him etc.

Think he’s going straight into their squad, like Vini and Rodrygo did when they moved and joined Madrid at 18. Different league, more technical and less physical. 

Maybe thats the plan with Paez too. Oscar signing was similar back in the day straight from Brazil to England but again, different types of players and different ages also.

I think Strasbourg could be a useful loan for him if he is needing a season or two to adjust to the difference in South American and European football, given what I’ve seen he look’s very lightweight. Unless he is that good he has to be included from the off.

He does look that good ATM, I'd trade him for noni in a heart beat.

If Estevao and Paez are both THAT good, then why are we signing a RW in Olise this summer?

Can easily continue with Palmer and Noni

Probably to introduce them to the team properly, rather than chucking them straight in, we all know this is the proper way to do it, I imagine they did a massive clear out to start again and do it there way, now they have got a squad so to speak, they are now buying for the future, rather than spending huge money when needed, I may be wrong but that's how I look at it, makes me feel better

Fair. There have been top players who’ve been chucked straight in - Fabregas, Bellingham, Pedri etc but since both Estevao and Paez are coming over to Europe for the first time it’s only fair they’re integrated over a couple of years

He scored a PK to become the second youngest scorer in Copa America history. 

His celebration was "Ice cold." Palmer's influence within a year is noteworthy.

He might be special. Don’t want to get ahead of myself but he looks real talented.

It's hard not to get slightly excited about him and Estevao, tbh.

Midfield wonderkid wants Chelsea move “soon”, reveals teammate

https://www.caughtoffside.com/2024/10/13/kendry-paez-Chelsea-transfer-estevao-willian/

Incoming Chelsea winger Estevao Willian has spoken out on his future teammate Kendry Paez and how keen he is to make the move to Stamford Bridge.

Both Estevao and Paez will be Chelsea teammates from next season, with deals already in place for them to join the Blues, and Estevao says he’s spoken to Paez about their future together in the Premier League.

Speaking in an interview with Placar, the Palmeiras and Brazil youngster spoke about a variety of topics ahead of making the move to Chelsea next summer, and one of those was the arrival of Paez at the same time, and whether or not they’ll be able to play together in the same line up.

Chelsea have made a habit of signing some of the best young players in the world under the ownership of Todd Boehly Behdad Eghbali, and fans will no doubt be excited about Estevao and Paez in particular.

It seems the Ecuador international is already itching to get going, judging by what Estevao has said after talking with him recently.

Estevao Willian reveals Kendry Paez is eager for Chelsea transfer

“When we faced each other in the Libertadores, he had already been negotiated and I was working out the details. But, in this last game for the national team (in September), I met him in Ecuador and we had already made arrangements,” Estevao said.

“We talked a lot there. We talked about English, adaptations that will be difficult, but I think we have everything to make it work and it will be a great experience,” he said.

“He came over and asked me how I was feeling. He also said that it was really hard and boring to study English, but that he was learning too. He said he wanted to go there soon, he wanted to have that European experience. I said we’d be there soon.

“I think we can play together. Even though he plays more centrally today and I play more on the wing, I definitely think we can play together and it will be a good, healthy rivalry.”
