Player Watch - Carlos Vinícius

[Singaspursofsixspence]

Looking him up on YouTube I see all the “welcome to Man Utd” videos man... so maybe that is slightly encouraging

plus more internet research shows manutd, Liverpool, Juve and wolves were after him earlier during this year ...

When Jose signed matic from benfica for Chelsea what did people think? I thought never heard of him weird signing he turned out okay didn’t he, if jose wants him then I want him

Watch? Half of us just bash the name into the latest incarnation of Football Manager and look up his numbers, the others watch 30 seconds worth of Youtube. Personally I couldn't give a fuck either way until we actually sign him and he becomes FFSworthy.

Fuck me that in-depth, FIFA stats and twitter GIFs do the job ?

Matic was a Chelsea ‘youth player’ who was sold to Benfica.

Reports say that Utd, Liverpool, Juve and Inter scouted him in the winter.

They also signed Ramires and Luiz from there. Luiz was decent at the time actually.

I have not seen a single media report of this guy!

If you want some proper transfer analysis using the forum as a way of knowing who we're gonna sign then look no further..

Having a target like Daka come out of nowhere and the forums going wild only for it to end up a shattered dream followed by a new target which has a large portion of the fanbase underwhelmed is a good indicator that we're seriously in for him. Now this alone isn't enough as there's usually a few targets who don't want (then do want when we haven't signed anyone).

However when you dig deeper you see we've had both Rob and A&C come in and be dismayed at the reaction on the forum followed by one of our prized ITK's also in disbelief at the sheer stupidity in the thread. These are your real prime indicators that something is seriously afoot here and we can expect the signing on the 23rd of September.

That's because he's under the radar.

 

[spursfan77]

Just read through this thread and it's fantastic. I love the way no one in here actually knows anything about the guy other than what's on YT or transfermrkt.

Jose wants him, he wasn't here for Jansen.

Seriously your logic is Merson-esque, to think Jansen turned out this way so Vini is bound to as well.

Youtube has so much to answer for.

Come on then. Tell us all about him.

Nothing makes me angrier than being around senseless negativity. How bout we all shut the fuck up and back the guy if he comes in ok? Footballers are very aware of social media, I doubt he’s lurking on here, but on twitter, ig, etc. can’t we all just be positive and support the guy. In case he does care or is checking social media, make him feel wanted. It’s so annoying how some people just desperately want the tiniest thing to complain about.

Buddy, it's an internet forum doing what internet forums do. No point getting angry at other posters' opinions, just ignore the bull ?

Abramovic said the same thing to Jose when he said he wanted Drogba... the guy knows a player #trust

 

[Joely]

Suppose if he is the one Mourinho want's then need to back him. Doesn't look the silkiest or sharpest of players to me but more a functional type (not necessarily a bad thing). If he is the one and he arrives, sounds like he attributes that will aid the team in Kane's absence but alongside that really hope he carries a consistent goal threat.

Not seen this guy to form a judgement but suppose for the ones who have watched him, what are his strengths?

 

[JKendall13]

Um, am I watching the same player that others are complaining about? He looks like a massive mobile line leading beast.

He’s damn good on YouTube and has essentially the same scoring numbers as Daka and Edouard in a better league and team. People saying he’s only had one good season, so have Daka and Edouard...

The only minimal negative, I guess, is that he’s 25 rather than 21.

Also is there a person with better judgement on earth regarding buying players from the Portuguese league than Mourinho? Carvalho, Pereria, Matic.

 

[rossdapep]

I can’t believe you live in Portugal, wrote all this about Jorge Jesus (who sounds made up tbh) but haven’t told us a single thing about the player none us know anything about.

Is he any good? Or is he literally Jansen?

Jorge Jesus is kinda like a fictional character to be honest, especially as instead of saying Brazil says "Brazul" and instead of saying Flamengo says "Falamengo".

The player.... I'll be honest as I haven't watched him extensively but when I have seen him play he was mostly a handful for the opposition and he does have a superb strike - most games I saw him he scored. The Benfica fans I know rate him though.

The reason I don't watch many Portuguese games if you're interested is because it is pretty excruciating to watch. When I first moved here I made it a goal of mine to watch as much as possible but soon found it an absolute slog. Most Portuguese watch their club here or the PL.

Why is he being compared to Janssen?

 

[rossdapep]

Yeah he's NOTHING like Janssen btw

 

[yankspurs]

Bring him in. Like yesterday. We desperately need a striker.

 

[dirtyh]

Why is he being compared to Janssen?

cos no one has seen him play and he’s not Daka so must be automatically shit

 

[Hakkz]

Why is he being compared to Janssen?

Because he was a bit older when he broke through and has only had one solid season.
