Man, it's absolutely impossible to forecast something.
Last game he was horrible, subbed at half time.
I'm not sure it's a good idea to pay big for him right now. As time goes by, the tendency is the price to go down, since he wasn't called to the U20 WC and hype from South American will be forgotten.
Honestly if I'm Juve, I'm monitoring the kid, but wouldn't make an offer just yet.
On the other hand, Fluminense is absolutely $#@!ed financially speaking. They are desperate. I'm sure he will be sold this year.
Anyway, I'd watch him closely at the Brasileirao to get a better idea. Could be a gem, could be a bust. Risk is too high if you're talking about 10M here.

PS: the game was already for the Brasileirao, against Atletico Mineiro, one of the country's top teams.
Some of the good games he had before were against minnows from the State of Rio.
Gotta follow his behaviour against the big boys when it counts.

If our local scouts have had eyes on this kid for a while and suggest we make an enquiry I say it's a risk worth taking. In a year his price could go sky rocket and we'd be out of the race forever..
