What's new

Estêvão

Is he better than Kendry Paez? What's the plan here long term?

Can any of Palmer, Paez or Estevao play on the left? If one can then is that Nkunku up top?

 
Apparently he is the biggest talent from Brazil. Even bigger than Endrick.

When know what Palmer can do, if Paez is half as good as people are saying he is, and is going to be, it would be like playing Messi and having Ronaldo as his back up

No. It wouldn’t. Those are 2 of the greatest players in history. 😂

Just putting it forward that, while Mudryk may be happy being Nkunkus back up, and Noni may be also to be Estevaos backup up. Neither Palmer nor Paez would be happy as a back up if the both fulfill their promise.

If Paez only ends up as good as Noni or Sterling, then no issue.

We have to bear in mind these lads are only 16/17, played very little first team football, and none in Europe.  Can’t imagine them starting the majority of games in their first season.  No guarantees they need to compete for their place.   Think we need to calm down a tad, but imagining Palmer, Paez, and William all rotating in a fluid front 3 is Exciting times.

Aye it is.

Not seen anything of Estevao but Paez has looked a real special talent, and Cole certainly is.

Ohh the Paez lad he is special.. he really can do it all.. it was a real coup when we signed him.

 
I've watched the first minute and a half of his Twitter "highlights" video, and I can't see what all the fuss is about LOL. I think I prefer Mudryk 🙂 

He looks like a hybrid of all the worst parts of Mudryk, Madueke and Sterling ... at 55kg ... 

 
He may well turn into the next Vini Jr but it's alot easier to do that at a club like Real Madrid who are littered with experienced first team players.

It's all well and good signing these talented players but I think they reach their potential quicker when they are playing with winners next to them. We have one of the best academies in world football apparently so why don't we invest in some 23-26 year olds to help us win now and bring some youngsters through that we already have on our books.

I wouldn't mind this signing so much if we already had a strong winning core in the first team.

I saw a tweet saying that he is going to first team straight away. Nah, not happening. He will probably go to u-21 or Strasbourg

This is a Joe Shields signing. 

Very much a wait and see but I feel we all had a similar skepticism with Palmer. Never scored a Premier League goal and finishes the season with the most G/A

I watched Palmer play for City in charity shield. He was playable. Noone expect him to do what he did but he was at least playable

Estevao looks too skinny to play in PL.

How often do these wonderkids ever turn out to be the real deal?

I recall the likes of Ganso, Denilson (Arsenals version), Our own Kenedy, Kerrison, Kerlon (an ex champ manager favourit), Alex Teixeira,  Gabigol (was it barbosa?), Our own Lucas Piazon, Alipio, Lulinha...Not to mention our current batch (Washington, Angelo, Santos - who all struggled this year.... the list goes on and on....

For every 1 Neymar, there are 50 other flash in the pans.
