Porto buys 'the next Gaucho' from Gremio for 5 M Euros!!

[RoyIsALegend]

Luis de Abreu Oliveira, an absolute GENIUS with the ball at his feet, has been signed by FC Porto from Gremio for 5 M Euros. Gremio will ALSO get 30% of the player's transfer fee on his NEXT transfer away from Porto.

He has agreed to a 3 year contract with Porto as well.

This is an _AWESOME_ buy for Porto, if anybody has the clips of this guy, please post them. I've watched him play probably six or seven times on TV and he has been DAZZLING every time.

 

[Paulo Da Silva]

i'm very excited with this signing

 

[Parasol]

just remember one thing: Europe is not Brazil.

 

[Paulo Da Silva]

true, but he is still very young and will not have the pressure Diego had when he arrived. anderson will be worked in slowly. First he has to get bigger (muscle wise) and better himself tactically. Europe is more tactical than in Brasil. That's where the B-team will come in handy. I don't expect him to ,ake a big impact in his first year, but by the second he will definately feature more. By the time he's 20 he'll be huge.

just because Diego and Fabiano had trouble fitting in their first year (eventhough Diego had a pretty decent season IMO) ppl seem to forget not all Brasilians had trouble fitting in.

For example.

Carlos Alberto----->played an important role in Winning the Champ's league
IBSON----->arguably our best player in the 2nd half
Leandro----->Played very well when he came back from injury

More notably:
Ronaldinho
KAKA
Ronaldo

and many more

I don't think Diego's season was all that bad either, to be honest. He's definatly a talent that will get better every season. Ibson is a great player though, he'll be a world superstar in a few years once he gets more experience in Europe and a bigger spotlight in Spain or Italy..

Carlos Alberto I never liked much though, he reminded me a lot of Quaresma in that he had a lot of skill but the end product was often dissapointing.

last season Porto bought the next Pele, this season they buy the Ronaldinho Gaucho. At least they're going backwards :boohoo:

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

Are you guys buying the next Robinho too?

 

[::shinji::]

you comedy skills are indeed quite poor..

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

comedy? It was only a comment... the fact that they call all these young players "the NEXT ???" is getting pretty anoying.

that's it.

 

[theedor]

yes indeed I'm sick of these "somebody has signed next pele zidane ronaldo emmanuelle" threads.. every player earns his class like ronaldinho, do not inherit them from elder legends..

 

[INFESTA]

Hey Paulo, agree with you except for Leandro, who I didn't even want at FC Infesta.
I also think Diego did fine. He had his troubles at first but progressed well - both tactically and in terms of input and effort - and was aleady a key player by the end of the championship. He can only get better.


About this Anderson guy, I have no idea who he is. Wish someone could come up with a clip, bcs I'm pretty sure nobody else here has any idea about him either. Other than that, 5M for a 17yo is pretty expensive, so I hope the SAD knows what they're doing.

that's it.

who calls it the "Next"? was a Real Madrid fan who made the thread.

Anyway, I thought the next "Robinho" WAS pretty funny because it's not as if the current one has done anything yet, haha ..unless generating a lot of hype is an acheivment.

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

Yes, your point? It wasn't me who made it, was it?

last season Porto bought the next Pele, this season they buy the Ronaldinho Gaucho. At least they're going backwards :boohoo:

Maybe next season they'll buy the next Paulo Almeida.

 

[Ebonix]

I really hate the "next" tag. I wouldn't mind if it was an exclusive title, but its given to any youth player whos remotely like a player who was "legendary".

It's all good being a genius with the ball at your feet but the final product matters the most.

 

[enigma]

The next Maradona, the next Ronaldinho, the next Ronaldo..

Where the hell are all of them now?

 

[Payukgcn]

The next Maradona were: Riquelme (Villarreal), Tevez (Corinthians), the NEW next maradona is Messi (Barcelona)

The next pele were Ronaldo and now is robinho, questions?

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

Riquelme isn't Maradona, but he's become WORLD CLASS

Teve is still too young...

Messi, El Messias is still a prospect....but a damn good one

 

[IceBlu]

questions?

Yes. Where is the next Angloma ?

Thats right there is none !

THERES ONLY ONE JOCELYN ANGLOMA !

 

[Payukgcn]

Angloma?
Sorry i dont know him, Where he plays?
