Nice!

Thats the one called Fabio and he's the captain of the Brazil side currently at the U17 copa america competition, he has scored 5 goals which is truly astonishing for a fullback.

Are we definitely signing them?

Do they play for us yet?

We signed them last year, they will come in 2008 when they're 18.

They just won the final and Fabio lifted the cup.

He scored another 2 goals. So thats 7 goals in this competition from left back.



He's the one with the armband. I'll post clips later.

We'll get £10,000 for each of them off Chelsea

Left back - possibly the only position where we really don't need any more players.

Typical eh.

Still, if he can score 7 in a tournament from left back then maybe he could play on the wing. £#%&! off Richardson you @#%&!.

And at least he can beat a player, unlike Bale. No point in paying £10m+ for british players when you can find equally and better talents in South America.

All the future world class full backs are currently playing centre midfield or centre half for their respective clubs' youth teams.

Fair point actually.

That might be true in England, but not in Brazil.

Since Coutinho took over as national team manager in the '70s fullback has been a very specialised position over there. They essentially cover an entire flank by themselves and provide all the outside penetration in the Brazilian system. These players don't just magically emerge at adult level, it takes a lot of work to develop the physical ability and tactical understanding to play the position.

They may very well be top class but they both look like keiron richardson and that can only be a minus.

Can't be any good otherwise Wenger would have signed them for the greatest youth team in the history of world footbal surely???

Regarded as the best player in the Brazil squad. It does sound like we may have struck gold with this one. How can a left-back - even a Brazilian one - score seven goals in the tournament?

It would seem strange to go ahead with the Bale transfer if this guy is so good.

As you probably would guess Fabio is the more attacking of the two twins ( a bit like Evra) and has scored the goals cos he gets forward during set plays and has a great spring on him.

Rafael is the better defender though but Fabio is the more likely to make it.

Fabio was voted the tournaments best player by a phone poll on the brazilian channel.

Brazil's 5-2 win over Ecuador in the final game on Sunday. Fabio gets the third and fourth goals.

Cheers, repped.

If he's left back, why is he swinging at it with his right foot?
Is he that good?!
