Is he a teamplayer, does he make passes?

Honestly, nobody knows that yet. Neymar was a prodigy until he "decided" to value his life style over his athlete's life--same goes for mentality.

When we sign them so young the risk sometimes goes beyond mere football.

He looks incredible lately. I was skeptical when we were first after him but wow. 

My only concern is that he is really tiny. Which I suppose is expected since he’s only 17. But we’ve witnessed what happens with these small, super skilled players who like to dribble like crazy when Hazard was here. I’m worried that PL defenders are going to hack the shit out of him every match.

Need to get him bulked up a bit when he comes to Cobham next summer.

I hope they ease him in. Endrick was thrown into a high-pressure Copa America knockout game vs Uruguay where he was mostly fouled.

Yup that Brazil side got bullied big time. The coach and staff did not understand the competition with the narrow pitches.

I've been hearing from a lot of people who are claiming that Estevao has a higher ceiling than Endrik. Like I wrote before, their development as players and individuals from now on will play a bigger part; similar to how Neymar's decisions hindered his career in a number of ways. Even Neymar's initial reluctance to leave Brazil was a red flag to me... he Joined Barcelona at 21.

Player he reminds me most of is like CRonaldo during Madrid wing days, but with Sporting Lisbon era rawness. I feel Estevao has a similar way of using his body, and the amount of time he takes and doesn’t take with different things, holding and releasing. I could see him becoming pretty much the same profile as CR winger, just not the same pace, but still ending up same positions with similar technique. 

feel grateful to see it. Was watching neymar back in santos days when he still had no picture on fifa. He was another level he was, better than anyone I’ve ever seen. Estevao is definitely the second best I’ve seen from Brazil. He is not really close to the neymar level that happened back then, but closest, which is far ahead of everyone else still. He is extremely good. The last level would be magical. Paez has amazing instinct and composure but less tools. In another league would be an amazing poacher alongside him. Hopefully works out in PL. unsurer re Paez there.
