Matheus Dória Macedo - LCB - Botafogo (7 Viewers)

[Xperd]

Risky move.

Need to be taken sometimes..

Dunno why some people are against this move..First of all he's only 18 and he's only going to better especially with the likes of Chiellini and Barzagli mentoring him.

Its clear that our defenders arent getting any younger especially Barzagli and hence why i think it will be a good investment for the future as opposed to someone like Ogbonna who is already 24 and would want to be a starter at his next club.

You can call a bit similar to the Varane-Madrid deal..You can tell that Varane could takeover from either of the two (considering their form) maybe sooner than expected.In other words having a young talented CB would in turn increase competition with the existing defenders and its a good headache to have in my opinion.

But it could still not work,you cant say anything for sure.He's only young with a high ceiling so if he flops, he would be sold for a decent value either ways.

His agent said it'll be done first week of Jan.

Who is his agent and where is the quote?

Here you go mate, Jolden Vergette is his agent. Also on the Brazilian websites too. O'Globo and Lancenet.

Pedroflu, said they're all very reliable.

Risky but very worth it.

Milan bought T.Silva for 10m€ when he was 24 years and only had 4 appearances with the national team.
We bought BonBon for 15m€ when he was 23 years old, a Serie B defender with only 2 appearances with the Nazionale.

Doria could be something very special under Conte and could learn a lot from Chiello and Barza. Like when Silva learned a lot from Maldini and Nesta.

He can adapt at LB but for defensive duties.

That sounds familiar.

 

[Dostoevsky]

No idea who this guy is, but transfer excites me.

I like that feeling, I had the same with Pogba.

 

[Nicholas]

That sounds familiar.

Isn't Asamoah one of our top assisters this season?

Which coincidentally most of his assists were in the beginning of the season before other teams realized how to stop him going forward.

 

[Nicholas]

He's still a threat and a very consistent performer. I can count on one hand who I'd rather have instead and none of those are realistic to get anyway.

Defensively, sure.

On the latter part, that still doesn't make him good enough though.

If Bale played in any other league instead of the EPL, there would have been no Bale.

 

[Nicholas]

Word. He lacks strong offensive capabilities but the way he locks down the left I feel so confident when he's playing. We'll miss him so much when he leaves in January.

 

[Osman]

Like Dusan this is bit exciting transfer, us taking the chance on a new and high profile teenage talent (pretty much unanimously praised by every forum I read where there are viewers of brasilian league). When you think brasil you prefer offensive talent, but in last decade they been better at producing defenders (even if half of those are fullbacks more known for offensive skills)..

 

[Nicholas]

If we sign him, I'll follow the u20 Championship to see what he's like.

Indeed..

Marquinhos,Doria,Dede,Danilo,Juan Jesus,Castan etc.Many of them.

 

[Nicholas]

Whenever I've watched Roma this Marquinhos kid never stood out. All their defence is terrible.

 

[Xperd]

Their defense has improved considerably over the last month or so though..Marquinhos in particular has caught my eye.
