Described as 'surprisingly tactically aware' on the Gremio article I read about him.

My Brazilian friend is also not overly impressed with Alysson. Said he is "total average".

Some Boro fans said the same about Rogers.

And he's 19. We've obviously seen something we think we can work with to make him a good player for us and for what we're spending it's a pretty low risk.

Watching Harry Kane in his debut season for Spuds, my Evertonian mate declared he was shit and lacked the pace for the PL.

TBH, he has tricks but his stats show why there is very little end product shown in the highlights reel. I expect Emery has seen something in his play he can mold, or this is the first signing of the new age to be sold onto Spain in 2-3 years time. Very similar to Nypan who we were linked with but Citeh bought for similar figures and then loaned out straight away to Boro and appears to have done very little.

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.

The absolute cacophony of shit when we sacked Gerrard, almost to a man, when he had quite clearly shat the bed and we were a wreck, was when I stopped listening entirely. Agendas trumping evidence.

I'll spot things, as we all will, before being informed by someone else's opinion. Duran being a player. Rogers being a player. Guessand not being a player. Fuck 'em.

Villa aren’t immune to signing duffers under Unai.
Equally, we trust that whoever has now chosen Alysson has a good eye and the kid has some promise.

We obviously aren’t signing fat Ronaldo (in his pomp), the lad is clearly not the ‘new wonderkid’, so we need to temper our enthusiasm and expectations and just see what happens.

Yeah, with these sort of signings I think maybe they've seen something in him.  He's only 19, same age as when we signed Jhon Duran and 2-3 years younger than Morgan Rogers when we signed him.  And folk were saying we'd had our pants pulled down with Rogers, for example.  We've not spent a huge amount on him ... about £8.5m plus add ons by the sound of it, which is peanuts these days.  If they've seen something in him, he'll be worth a punt.

When you consider it's half what we flogged Chuck and Kellyman for it's worth a punt

Not just Boro fans either.

His biggest weakness is supposed to be decision making.Sounds like a player who dribbles past a player or two,doesn't see the pass and loses it to the next player.Frustrating.
.Emery's system means that his right winger will play further upfield as Bailey did.,and cut inside on his left foot and become a second striker.
Beat a player,there's fewer or simpler decisions as we are advancing  closer to goal.
Can he fit the requirement and adjust to the PL ? His strengths seems to  be dribbling,hard working ,physical strength and left footed..Finishing ?Probably doesn't get into many goalscoring positions.
Philogene was reckoned by quite a few,not just Villa fans,to be PL quality.Possibly ,like Sancho,too 'lightweight'.Alysson isn't lightweight.
Tim Vickery called it 'someone's project.More likely,Alysson ticks a lot of boxes for Emery's requirement of a right winger.

Looks like a buy, then send out on loan type player.
