I wonder if we could offer to buy him permanently off Man City? If not this season than next Summer maybe.

do you mean negotiate the buy-back clause out of his contract?

Did he play a similar role in midfield as he does for us?

88 successful passes (more than anyone else), 95% success rate. Next up Peru away on Tuesday night (Wednesday 1am UK time).

Looked like Casemiro was in the deep midfield role and Douglas was in more of a McGinn position.

Can someone provide a recap on the visa situation?  Didn’t he receive qualifying points because he was in our top X% earners (not so at Man City).  Isn’t international recognition also a qualifying criteria?

If so, surely him play in for Brazil is a bad thing as it’ll make it easier for him to get a Working visa at Man City.

First 20-30 min sat front of defenders,  then started move forward and him and Casimiro spreaded wide

Ah that old chestnut - yeah, he looks good against Liverpool at home, but can he do it on a rainy Tuesday night in Lima?

Thanks. I reckon he's actually most suited to a McGinn role in terms of his attributes. Just so happens we have someone in the McGinn role already.

The beauty of the game last night, he was always available for a pass. Totally different game to the Villa. I would say last night was a much easier task - so you can imagine what he does for us, but without pressure. (explains why it takes a year for a latin player to adapt to europe game). If he performs for Villa, he will always deliver for Brasil. Asked my friends in Brasil what they thought, all gave a huge thumbs up, as did I.

Folha de Sao Paulo pictured him in their report and said that on his debut he played like he belonged there.

Good at least the Leicester game been put back nearly 30 hours so he has more time to recover from his race across the world!

Played the full 90 again last night versus Peru. Solid performance too by all accounts. Never thought I'd see a Villa player as a Brazil regular!
