maqroll Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 25m is a huge fee for a player with his relatively low profile. Nothing in the YT clips suggests to me that he's that dynamic a player. In Dean we trust I guess.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 My initial thought based on what we've seen and read is how much fun it will be to have a striker who is an absolute demon in the air considering how many crosses we fling into the box. It sounds like his finishing might be a touch erratic, but his hold up play is solid and he seemingly gets a fair few assists. Looks like a smart footballer with a nice first touch and a solid range of passing. He's got all the attributes you want from a modern target man. I'll suffer the occasional wayward finishing if the rest of his game is as billed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benitez has been chasing him for Newcastle and Everton have been linked this summer also. What you mean is you've never heard of him so he can't be worth it?

DCJonah Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 19 minutes ago, alreadyexists said: Interestingly the club post doesn’t mention a medical, just the work permit and international clearance... maybe that’s just something they don’t mention, or perhaps he’s already had a medical? Could he have had one in Belgium to speed things up? I doubt villa would confirm this if he hadn't had a medical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Spanish/Portuguese-languaged player has a million names. Not sure if you noticed, but they often just put one of them on!

That's weird, wonder why they don't use his full name like Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, Bernardo Mota Veiga de Carvalho e Silva or Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Also worth mentioning that at 22 he's not yet the finished article, with the right coaching he could become even better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Portuguese naming customs (which I assume would also be Brazil since the speak Portuguese there), but in Spanish you take both your mother and fathers surnames and they sort of build up over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Never heard of him but he looks like a unit! Hopefully he can be our new Carew Kind of sad as it means that its confirmation that Tammy won't be coming back (even though I kind of knew deep down!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Quote Wesley Moraes: the Brazilian warrior Wesley Moraes, commonly known as Wesley to his fans, is a 21-year-old Brazilian forward; currently playing for Club Brugge in the Belgian Pro League. For the past few weeks, we have covered reports that indicate that the striker could be nearing a move to Lazio. Article by Sam Wilson https://thelaziali.com/2018/06/16/scout-wesley-moraes-lazio/ The above article is worth a read for a bit more information on the player we have signed.
