Fulham Broadway 17,365 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Title is misleading as doesnt really answer the question. Nonetheless, quite interestinghttp://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/timvickery/2011/04/will_piazon_stand_out_at_stamf.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Interesting comparisons the writer has chosen, like Mascherano & co. But as he says, only time will tell whether this was a prudent investment or not, I certainly hope so. Though these kids from Brazil don't settle quickly (as demonstrated by people like Anderson) so patience will be elementary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Good read. In my opinion, to buy young players like him is always a gamble. I'm actually happy with that. "Who dares, wins". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BomTrett 50 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I gave it a read, and i thought it was a decent article.I guess we've taken a gamble and hopefully he'll come good. I just dont wanna see another Di Santo, tall and strong as a youngster looking good, but cant really cut it at Wigan.We keep the faith though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy1 24 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 good article............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Yap I gotta agree with the article, it is a gamble. We shall see. I don't think Roman cares too much if he "lost" 5-6 million. I'd certainly like him to be a success here and the chances are pretty good I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Piazon said he is likely to be loaned to a small club, to get experience in english football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 He is very very young so once he joins us we can assess the situation and develop him our way. Our youth setup is very good now, a lot of youth players are doing very good. I think he will turn be good for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Well he has already got the hang of kicking ass at Old Trafford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I hope he can develope, guys imagine him and McEachran in a few years time, thats if they do stay at Chelsea, cause you never know what could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 The money we paid makes him a gamble. Had we gotten him for peanuts, we wouldn't even be discussing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodZola 630 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 There is always a fear that every young player may not develop but what really has impressed me with this lad is that he can use either foot & he has vision, something he is not going to lose as he gets older, if anything he could get better as he grows in physique & matures, let's not also forget that he is not playing against mediocrity in these tournaments. This lad looks top drawer to me & let's hope he gets the right coaching & they look after him mentally, it also helps him that we have 3 Brazilian's already.

eldo 868 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Two years ago, Piazon was outstanding at the South American Under-15 Championship, finishing as top scorer with nine goals. This time around, he only managed three, none of them in the decisive second round.Wrong. He scored one. Their top scorer Leo managed to score 4. So only three?Could this be a youngster who had an early advantage because he matured physically so quickly but, as time went on, stood out less as others caught up?So he is just assuming that Lucas matured quicker than others.
