Re: Back in for Gabriel Silva ?
Silva and Arthur Gomes up front next season?
Re: Back in for Gabriel Silva ?
Long John and Arthur Askey maybe.

20 year old lad that can’t get a game in a tin pot league. Can’t see why we would be remotely interested.

Re: Back in for Gabriel Silva ?
Any decent talent gets picked up young and shipped off to Europe.
A lad that can’t even break into there starting eleven out there should not be interesting us at all.
You can say whatever you want about the league but it’s knowhere near comparable to even the top two leagues of this country.
Re: Back in for Gabriel Silva ?
It's not comparable to most of the clubs in the PL but you're forgetting every PL club gets like £140m a year income. Palmeiras recently took Chelsea to extra time didn't they? and Palmeiras aren't the best side in Brazil. Imo Corinthians, Flamengo (from 2 years ago), Atletico Mineiro and Palmeiras are near the top of the Championship.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 9:05 pmAny decent talent gets picked up young and shipped off to Europe.

The guy we are linked with played twice this season.
Re: Back in for Gabriel Silva ?
Exactly lol such a narrow minded way to look at things. That teenager Brighton just signed from the Eduadorian league looks very good. Lets just dismiss everything at tinpot though... Some of the clubs in Brazil are ******* huge too, they make us look tinpot.boatshed bill wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 9:27 pmso am i right in thinking there are no decent players in Brazil?

Re: Back in for Gabriel Silva ?
Douglas Costa went back to his home town team Gremio last season, he was **** and they got relegated. The Brazilian league is a higher standard than many think, it's not amateur league tinpot.

The league is Tin pot in relation to the premier league.
We especially shouldn’t be looking at players that can’t even get into a team that is playing at a considerably lower level.

Re: Back in for Gabriel Silva ?
It’s not football manager though, if your Chelsea or city and can hoard hundreds of young players then great. We just simply can’t do that, every signing we make has to have the premise of making it in the premier league.boatshed bill wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 9:38 pmWe should be looking at players with potential, doesn't matter which league they play in.
If this kid was regularly playing in the Brazilian league then yes why not risk it. But given he can’t even get a game out there I think it’s pretty clear he’s not the level required.

Re: Back in for Gabriel Silva ?
unless he's played a wedge of games for Brazil he wouldn't get a work permit anyway would he ?
Re: Back in for Gabriel Silva ?
He's played for Brazil at youth level, decent pedigree. Neither of us have seen him play. What's wrong with looking at young strikers not playing first team football? He's got years to grow, develop and mature then we'll see how good he is. I see no problem with looking to the future.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 9:43 pmI was referring to the 2021 season where he played twice.

Remind me, what football had Danny Ings played when we signed him? he was 19 right? had been on loan in the Conference south and a few sporadic appearances for Bournemouth in League Two.

We have signed the best part of a team for the U23s in the hope that they (or some of them) will make it to our first team.
do you honestly believe that every player we sign has PL potential?
Should we not keep looking in the hope that we can pick up a gem or two?

Re: Back in for Gabriel Silva ?
You're writing off a player you've never seen play.
You called the Brazilian league tinpot, you've probably never watched a game.
You're even making up the fee to be 4 million when the article says we want him on loan.

Re: Back in for Gabriel Silva ?
It clearly says that they wanted 2.8m in January. Then the video even mentions they want more than that fee if a deal is to be made in the summer. Yes loan with a view to buy. So fee is still relevant.
The Brazilian league is tin pot compared to the premier league. Same as the Croatian league/Portuguese/Scottish etc….
I’m sorry but if a 20 year old can’t get a game in a worse division what makes you think he’s up to it at this level?

Any fee will be absolutely loaded with performance related payments.
As for the tinpot stuff, well that's your disrespectful uneducated opinion.

Hulk - 2 league games in Brazil before moving to Japanese 2nd division then to Porto.
Fabinho - played 0 games in Brazil before moving to Europe.
Coutinho - played 0 games in Brazil before signing for Inter.
Sure there are many more examples, players don't need to have played games at their current clubs for them not to be good players.
He is the kind of signing that if he signed for Watford for £3 million and was a success it would be all over this board "the type of player we need to sign", "we need to scout foreign markets for better deals" etc. But when we're linked with them "waste of money", "not played enough so means he must be bad".

They may be off the pace compared to the premier league but one thing is for sure, most Brazilian players are going to have a hell of a lot better technique and creativity than anyone in our team bar maybe Cornet and Weghorst.
If I remember right I think it was Naldo who said every Brazilian boy wants to be a striker, so if you end up a forward, you have to be very, very good.
