Diego Carlos

[ChicagoLion]

He came with a big reputation, i'm a bit underwhelmed.

Strong, good in the air and decent range of passing.
He looks vulnerable to pace and too many lapses in concentration.

Looks fantastic in those glasses, so let's not be too hasty.

I like him but, I'd reckon he'd look a lot better in a team who defend deeper, concede space and defend crosses. He does look lacking in pace in a high line but so do Torres, Lenglet and Chambers, none of whom have lightening recovery pace.

I just think he's incredibly average.  He's ok.  Would be a decent defender in most mid-table teams as a stopper.  Sort of player I'd expect to pay 8-10m for.

I tend to agree. He has physicality which is an asset and an enormous self belief in his ability. That’s fine if that ability matches our need for players who are much better than what was before. It isn’t though is it?

Is he really good in the air, though? I've never really noticed that.

Yeah, I have to admit that he's been a disappointment so far, even if he is built like a Rio PM.

Pretty accurate assessment I’d say. He also compares unfavourably to Konsa and Torres, both brilliant in different ways and both much better than Diego at most everything…I wouldn’t say it to his face though!

[Richard E]

If his name was James Charles nobody would particularly rate him.

I'm just pleased he's fit again.as we need options!

[Demitri_C]

I think people need to remember he picked a major injury and was iut for a long period. We will never know how good he could have been. Just our luck it happened so soon as we signed him

Think he is ok but nowhere the level of mings konsa or pau

[olaftab]

Is he in Brazil squad for next internationals coming up?

[Lastfootstamper]

I doubt it. I know they take it seriously, but afaik he's only played for his country at the Olympics.

[JUAN PABLO]

I remember Man City wanted him and the price was £75 million with also 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' and Manure interested but Guardimoaner went fot Ruben Diaz instead .

So I was excited when we signed him but the injury has probably had alot of impact on his playing now.

[Demitri_C]

I am starting to think it might be worth thinking about cashing in on him in the summer.  Hasnt looked the same since the big injury and seems to get injuries. I also think he doesnt look very fit. I remember how lean he looked when we first signed him.  Now he looks a little heavy and slow. I remember how quick he was when he first came

I also have some concerns about his positioning and concentration
