There has been a lot of talk of this kid Alysson from Gremio and now that Jacob Tanswell and John Townley are putting their names behind it we can start a thread.

Seen as a hot prospect, around £10M or so with fees.

I will just repeat what I posted in the transfer thread, which is that I am guessing this will be another raw player with clear talent like Duran and Rogers and in 18 months time we will all be sucking farts out of his bumhole while the papers try to sell him for £100m.
-
Hope he gets a Work Permit and joins the squad, rather than is immediately loaned back to his parent club or into Europe. Who knows, he may be another Rogers!
-
His aim is true.

Think we'll have that 50 more times before he signs.

Yep, lot of noise around this signing.
Looks like Alysson’s starting to happen.
-
Like the look and sound of this. Hopefully he is being signed to help support not just as FFP bait

Apparently he's a bit of a tech whiz, so he'll have the ticketing app sorted in no time.

I have nothing to add but a nod.

Whisper it quietly but a few issues seem to have been sorted.

Whisper it quietly but he's been logging on remotely, despite not having a work permit yet.

Cracked it. He is Prince William. I claim my expired Littlewoods vouchers.

Confirmed by the Beeb now.
A tricky Brazilian winger, you say? Fuck yeah!
-
Predictions?
I'm going with, appears in some BMH training photoshoot, gets sent on loan to VVV Venlo, permanent transfer to Lens for 1m more than we paid for him, never plays for us.

I’ll take your Lens and raise you Atalanta
-
Maybe we are investing in a basketball team and want him as the first signing.

-
Predictions?
Wins the World Cup with Brasil in 2030, after completing a quadruple with Villa. Is gutted that he missed out on the Community Shield at the start of the season.
-
Predictions?
...he'll be better than Guessand..

His appearance record will be equal to or more than Ivo Stas, but less than Charlie Aitkin.

A left footed Rogers!

Ah a tricky Brazilian player, lovely.

That’s if he’s not good enough to be challenging for a place in a side competing at the top. If he’s the next Duran*, he will be in the squad.
*hopefully he is, but not quite as crazy and itching for a move every three weeks or so.
-
A left footed Rogers!
Exactly what I thought, same build, quick feet, picks it up and runs with it with intent.
-
Big lad, doesn’t look that quick, but eats up the yards.
-
Will either be the replacement for Rogers in the next year or two or the long term Watkins successor...or a bit of both.
-
The you tube clips show a lot of tackling which I’m sure Unai will like.

bmmm,tssshhh
-

Much of it two-footed and from behind!

That's how we make love in Shropshire. The trick is to get a leg in each Wellie.

Tim Vickery, who knows his South American stuff, is really NOT impressed.

I got bored after five minutes watching that. Who's Tim Vickery anyway, looked rather smug to me. He looks related to Alan Pardew.
-
Tim Vickery really knows his shit when it comes to South American football. I put value in his opinion. He hasn't written him off, he has basically just said that he is one for the future. I'd say it sounded like there was more chance of it not working out but that's the punt you make with youngsters. He's not the next Neymar, let's put it that way.
-
The Tim Vickery who said Emery wouldn't be a good fit for us and that we should go for Sean Dyche?
About as informed as that other fupping eejit Tim Lovejoy.

Pretty much the doyen of South American football analysis of the last thirty years of so.
Doesn't mean he's right in this case. Also, doesn't mean he's definitely wrong either, just because he's not saying we've bought the new Messi.
-
When we were linked with Julian Alvarez while at River Plate, Vickery described him as the Argentinian Gary Shaw. Or something similar. Of course he ends up Man City not us, was superb for them and has carried on being superb at Atletico. Not sure if he is Gary Shaw superb but Vickery was right that he was a very good player coming through from River. Hopefully he is right about Alysson as a long term promising prospect.
-
I'm going to write to YouTube to complain about him.
-
Ah well, if he knows his stuff, but he still looked smug. Sounds like he got Emery wrong with us, maybe that’s why he threw the little dig in about a little ego project?
Anyhow, we all know Emery isn’t one for throwing anyone, experienced or not straight in the side. They all have to be drilled first. The only player I can think he’s done that with is Rogers, who apparently according to the experts, Middlesbrough pulled our pants down.
-
Every signing is a risk, plenty of 'experts' couldn't see anything in Duran or Rogers, and thought we were wrong to sack Gerrard. I doubt anyone thinks we're signing him to go straight into the starting 11.
-
Looking at trends for recent signings he’ll either
- hardly be seen for ages, then be starting games and looking a 50m player in a years time, or
- be loaned to a mid level European team without seeing sight of first team football
- consistently start in roughly right position, but play nothing like what we expected from rumour and reports.
-
The Tim Vickery who said Emery wouldn't be a good fit for us and that we should go for Sean Dyche?
Well that opinion holds much less value as it isn't about his speciality, which is South American football.
-
Imagine what Vickery would of said if he saw Rogers playing for Bournemouth/ Middlesboro.
-
These guys are paid money to have an opinion, unlikely to say erm well I am not sure or I haven’t seen him play much.
Also their opinions when talking on their specialist subject tend to be towards the affirmative.
-
Emery or Vickery? Hmm, which one do I trust more in terms of their judgment on coaching and organising footballers?
