I respect your opinion, but I saw glimpses of quality, similar to Luiz who a lot of fans were bagging similarly at the same time. We'll probably never know now and I feel disappointed for him.

samjp26 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Such a shame for the guy, we can all have opinions on how he would have turned out but the fact that he himself will never know and it’s all down to Ben Mee being a word removed is the incredibly harsh part. I saw something about him having a fitness backlog, this is in the last month, his injury as literally destroyed his career. I just hope he managed to change his life enough for it to be worth it. BM should be banned for the life, absolute rocket polisher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being Brazilian doesn't automatically make you a good footballer. what lesson, sorry? are you implying that being brazilian was the reason we signed him?

Indigo Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Whatever about his Villa career, I just feel for the guy and hope he can turn it around. To go from a good player for Brugge to the point he got the move, to failing to even make their match-day squad when he's still only in his mid 20s is worrying but best case scenario he's just finding his feet slowly after the injury. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I think his career in any top 6/7 league is done tbh. By all accounts they were pretty iffy on signing off a loan deal on account of his medical. We're probably paying 90% of his salary and they still had doubts. If he would even have a career in Scotland he's done well to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say he’s done well to be able to play football again whatever the level. He was very slow to get to grips with the Premier League but any chance he had of making it at Villa was unfortunately taken away by that ridiculous Ben Mee challenge.
