Video looks like a LW rather than LB. I am not too bothered about the attacking crosses and dribbles, we have other players for that.
Show me way more crunching tackles (there are only four of them in there), last-ditch defending, heading against bigger players, covering other players' mistakes in defence, losing the ball running back and winning it, getting passed by a faster player but recovering to block the cross (Dunne has to do this a lot), not getting caught out with the in-between CB/LB defence-splitting ball (Paal, I am looking at you), blocking crosses, and shouldering the ball out of play.
Then as an extra ... Cultured passes out of defence, helping to beat the press with pass and move, passing into the middle between the oppo forwards and splitting the oppo middle by doing it. Balls up the line that actually give our forwards time to control it. And a long diags across the pitch to the other RB or even better RW (Cook does this).
Then we are talking about the next Clive Wilson. Otherwise, it's Drewe over again. Nice lad, but not what we need.
Watched Fluminense dismantle Inter MIlan yesterday in that circus competition.
No mugs and a dozen appearances for them seems considerable. Would like to see this lad start the season, and as DMM says we'll have 11 games to see if he's a disaster or not.

Good luck to the lad. I would expect him to feature in and around the first Team this season and will not be at all suprised if he is our first choice left back by May.
He'll be the first choice left back before the end of the season, looks a real good player but would look at getting him a loan first half of the season

Hopefully somewhere like Blackpool, Morecombe, or Southend.
Anybody can play on the fine sands of the Copacabana in beautiful weather surrounded by Gisele Bunchen. Lets see your tricks and flicks on the pebbles surrounded by broken bottles and dog shit with Bernard Manning shouting slurs at you.

I'm a passable Sunday League CB playing in muddy fields under the flightpath around Heathrow. No idea whether I can do on the Copacabana though - I think I need a loan out there for 6-12 months. I'm sure personal terms wouldn't be a problem.

How about the being surrounded by Giselle Bunchen thing? (Joke about getting tackles in deleted in the interest iff taste.)

I saw him in the PLLC final and he played well and demonstrated great ball control and attacking prowess. The question is can he defend against Championship players. A 3 month loan or 1 month if they still allow them would give us a better idea.
The video showed a lot of good attacking play , but going by those venues it looks like reserve matches in Brazil. So we shouldn't read to much from those clips.
