He has some talent, seemingly a beautiful left foot, great distribution, quality shot from range...lightweight, far from speedy, definitely needs to bulk up to make it in the senior game, especially the vicious professional game in Italy. Played a fair amount for Flamengo last season, then since we entered into negogiations with him and the parties who own him, he has hardly featured in the new brazilian season (started April I think).
His contract ends in December, when we could have him for free.
I thought we agreed on 1-2m in January, then Flamengo or a third party wanted more so we decided to wait till december assuming we had an agreement with the player. The parties who own him, obviously want a transfer fee, the higher the better.
Bebeto himself has changed from trying to persuade him to stay in Brazil, to now, apparently, offering him to Real Madrid and comparing him to Zico!!! A fast turn around.
All in all, he seems like a talented kid. The more players we procure who are very comfortable on the ball and very creative, the better. its one of the major things our senior squad lacks.The two close this mould of player we loaned out last term, Buoy and Appelt, have done OK, but the dutchman's season was cruelly curtailed by injury, and Gabriel's season was also stop and start due to a fracture he suffered in late 2012. Both need at the very least another season before approaching any consideration for Juve, or dare I say, even Serie A football in general. Gabriel is much more defensive minded, but still, close-ish to our Pirlo regista role...in terms of his natural game.
