I really didn't expect him to have this amount of an impact so quickly.
I really like the look of Santos as well.I really didn't expect him to have this amount of an impact so quickly.
I mean one is the best, and second-most hyped player Brazil has produced since Neymar. Santos was also one of the top talents in Brazil and its age-group captain. Both were known quantities and Estevao wasn't even our first choice, it was clearly Endrick.I really like the look of Santos as well.
Fair play to BlueCo on both of those signings, albeit blind squirrel analogy and all that ...![]()
I honestly did, as my previous points about it being a crime if he did not start getting regular minutes allude to.I really didn't expect him to have this amount of an impact so quickly.
There is a very good chance both of them asked silva for advice imo. And we know how much he loves our club.I mean one is the best, and second-most hyped player Brazil has produced since Neymar.

The interesting thing was that both players didn't hesitate to sign for Premier League clubs instead of the usual route through Portugal/Spain. That groundwork was laid 15 years ago by Emenalo but I do wonder if they would have even considered Chelsea had Thiago Silva not had such success with us.
Hadn't thought of that, good point.There is a very good chance both of them asked silva for advice imo. And we know how much he loves our club.
The most impressive thing is his composure, at his age its incredible to see just how easy he finds receiving the ball under pressure.He’s going to the very top. Just has an aura that we rarely see. I could watch him every week, but credit to Maresca who is managing his adaptation very well so far.
We love him. He is our very own Peter Crouch. Estevao the super-sub.Hope you guys like Estevao, he is very good, here in Brazil his former team Palmeiras had a big problem last year because everything need Estevão to work, like a very dependent of Estevão.
This kid is fast, not the fastest running but he is fast with the ball in his foot, his shoot skill is very good, a very very good game understanding, he can play as a winger as a attack midfielder, very technical, Chelsea made a excellent move going for him.
But please, don't go for my Rayan here in Vasco, i beg you.
He's a magic man. I want him and fellow magic man Palmer in the same XI. And I want someone who appreciates talent to be in charge of that XI. Not some systems bitch.

Exactly - it's ridiculous.How often do Barcelona rotate Yamal and use him sparingly as a substitute?
He has played way too many minutes though to be fair for his age. Think it’s Yamal that has the record for most minutes played at 18yrs ever, with Esteban behind him. At this rate, Yamal will be finished at 25yrs.How often do Barcelona rotate Yamal and use him sparingly as a substitute?
This is a myth based off a couple of players falling off in later years. Fabregas, Rooney, Raul, Ramos etc. all played loads as teenagers and played at an elite level until their mid 30’s.He has played way too many minutes though to be fair for his age. Think it’s Yamal that has the record for most minutes played at 18yrs ever, with Esteban behind him. At this rate, Yamal will be finished at 25yrs.
