Suggestions Summer 2017

If Marco and Jose are such big pals, perhaps Marcus could get Jose to loan us a couple of decent strikers, Marcus Rashford would be quite nice, pretty please

 

Demarai Gray could be that nippy winger we've been after... a better prospect than Aaron Lennon IMO

 

Take Reiss Nelson on loan from Arsenal, play him and improve him - Then buy him in a couple of years time when he cannot get a regular place in the Arsenal first 11.

See Link above.

Don't know if either of these have been suggested before, but could they be worth a possible shout? Especially as we are in desprate need of some fire power!

 

I actually forgot all about Loic Remy. If we could get him fit, I'd be very happy with him.

 

Break the bank for Costa. Would love to see this guy in yellow.

 

Tiny word 'if':huge meaning.

 

A Valladolid fan on twitter has linked us with a move for Real Madrid striker Raul De Tomas.

Spent last season on loan at Valladolid scoring 14 in 36 appearances.
If there is any truth in it - You'd expect he would go back to then on loan from us.

 

Zlatan on loan plz

 

Loic Remy would be a great transfer if we can get him cheap and his injury problems are behind him.

 

On loan? Surely he would have to sign for a club first?

 

Diego or Hélder?

 

Coffee.

 

Fortune?

 

Del Sol

 

Jordan Amavi looks close to joining Marseille for 8m-ish.

Worth a late bid I reckon. Very talented player.

 

We haven't bought anyone for hours. Wtf is going on ? Pozzos out

 

Who recently failed a medical!

 

Murillo available only 13m, close to Valencia move but surely we've got all the contacts with him to make a late move a-la Richarlison? We need a quality CB!

Watford should sign some potential wc youngster right from Brazil while they're cheap.
It worked very well in the past for clubs like La Corunya and Lyon.

Can i post videos here?

This is Pedrinho(19) - from Corinthians.
He was very weak physically and they are preparing him for 2018. Already gained some weight.

This was his first minutes in the professional early this year. Can driblle pass everybody but was bullyed by the older players:


He looks like those skilled players from the 80s; we realize it even watching the trainings.


Some weeks ago, a little bit stronger; his first international goal in the South American Cup:


They're giving him minutes, and his cameos in general are brilliant, like this triple-lobby that created the goal of their victory:


This was his U-20 games in Brazil and Europe


I dont know about the transfer rules but Watford should sign him to the academy then use him during the season.
He will be an amazing top player.

 

Thanks for all this - certainly looks good from those clips, although at times youtube vids can be misleading.

You should apply for Tim Vickery's job (do Brazilians actually know who he is?) - he hasn't covered himself in glory as far as Watford fans are concerned, by saying Richarlison wouldn't get a work permit and then giving scant praise to his abilities (he did say one or two good things to be fair)!

 

Splendid attention to detail Capitao T!

 

Look as i said in his thead, Richarlison is not balon d'or material, but he does can be a solid player in europe if you see guys like Rashford, Martial, Pedro, Willian.
Pedrinho is a superior prospect.

Tim Vickery is very known. He is part of a football program in Sportv.
I think his opinions are honests, but the way an English understand the game is different from a Brazilian.
Example: young Brazilian attacking players are supposed to take risks and try "killing passes"; to dribble in tough situations. Then they tend to have bad stats of pass,.etc, so if you're a foreign scout you need to trust your eyes and know the culture and history to compare with players of the past in the same situation and with similar style. Its not so simple for someone from another culture.
The Dutch apparently alway know who are really the best ones in Brazil, dont ask me why.

Last year Tim Vickery told to British press that Marlos Moreno was better than Gabriel Jesus...try find some of Marlos games in Spain and take your conclusions..
Tim is doing it all the time now, you know, always saying that some random guy fron Venezuela, Colombia, etc, is better than the Brazilian/Argentinian prospects; i have no idea why.

But again, i think he's wrong and see things different, but he's a honest man.

My opinion is that Tim Vickery is emotionally involved with the country at this point.
In the 2000s with the economy booming and the World Cup in the horizon, he was always saying that Brazilian league would be able to compete with the europeans and now he got frustated.
This is why a man need to have realistics expectations.

 

Please excuse me if I'm being too nosey Capitao, but I'm very intrigued. Are you fully Brazilian/do you live in Brazil now? How did you come across this forum? Do you follow any English team specifically?

 

Fully Brazilian? I've heard he likes to leave a little stubble to keep em' guessing....

 

I'm Brazilian.
I grew up in the same region of Heurelho Gomes; in the State of Minas Gerais that its like some kind of giant poor man's Kansas.

When i saw people talking about Richarlison, since i follow a lot of youth football here and i know the player very well, i decided to create an account to join the conversation.

And the members here are very smart and funny, just like those guys in the JUVENTUZ site; those are the two best european football sites i found.

 

Nice, thanks very much for the answer

 

Well at the time of typing this, you've posted 9 messages and have 81 likes - so it's fair to say that you're quite well liked here.

Any other bits of news regarding Brazilian/South American football, please keep posting as I and many others here are interested.

 

Do they have Chav's in Brazil?

 

Capitao, get Gino on the phone and ask if he has a scout spot vacancy in Brazil. You seem to know your stuff

 

Seems Ryan Shawcross may be available for £10 million as contract is up. I'd take him. 29 so a few years left and a good leader at Stoke

 

The guy is shot. He's 29 going on 49, has a bad back at the top of his list of injuries, and has the turning circle of a double-decker bus.

 

You may be right, admittedly I'm basing my knowledge on his past reputation. Next!
