Estêvão

Patience isn't enough though. Their development is not simply a function of time and waiting. Young players need management, coaching and mentoring from senior players; none of these are present at current Chelsea.

Ronaldo had Keane and Neville, Messi had Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Deco, Vini Jr had Benzema, Modric, Kroos. We have....Sterling?
I mean Madueke has improved a lot of aspects of his game last season and its well known that he looks to Sterling for guidance. 

Estevao and Paez already have a lot of admiration for Palmer (joining his celebration) and will likely only increase his reputation the following season when they arrive. He was a man against boys last season so they could easily learn from him. 

 
According to reports now Paez and Estevao are planned to come straight into first team as soon as they turn 18. Next season that is. Whether they stay there the entire season depends on many things. 

But by the looks of it both have the chops to make it. Especially Paez looks very ready.
Are they as good as Yamal?

Immpossible  to know. It’s the maturity of yamal’s play that is so impressive rather than the individual skills.ne seems to make really good decisions quickly and then execute them. Mostly, to me, it seems like he is doing something simple, a cross, a pass a shot. Quite different to say a young CR7

Talentwise arguably better, impossible to say how they'll adapt to a new country and league though. Going into adult football playing for the club you've been at since you were 6 must be a lot easier than moving half way across the world and playing with men you've never met and don't speak your language. Time will tell. 

 
Signs for Chelsea... gets injured and out for a couple of weeks. So it begins 🫠
He's injured now?

So now they just have to sign for us and not actually come to the club before they get injured!

OK...who's playing with voodoo, black magic and sh*t!

I bet its the spuds!

 
Yep, for a couple of training sessions, Wrexham in pre season, gets kicked up in the air, Strasbourg loan.

It's just a sprained ankle and to be honest he is lucky he ended the game that way.

I read the reports of that match and he was double teamed for most of the match and fouled like never before.
Teams are kicking the sh*t out of him since his transfer was announced. Same thing happens to all kids when they sign for a big club outside Brazil and they play against clubs with nothing to lose. Brazilian football is brutal.

Estevao has a bit of a mean streak about him though, like Hazard and Vinicius, he will absolutely arc up and stand his ground. Love to see it.
