That write up by Vickery doesn't paint a pretty picture

But I remember him saying Paulinho is a better signing than Fernandinho when they both came to England, so he's been wrong before.

He has very good attributes for a right back and as much as I like tanganga we do need someone who has more going forward there, if we are going to play such a functional midfield

I will reserve judgement until I have actually seen him play. Hopefully he will be a decent buy.

I read that he's not what you expect from a typical brazilian player. Super fit, up and down the flank but not the silky technician one might expect.

Tim Vickery?

Vickery is well respected, but don't know how much he follows South American football in Europe vs South American football.

Is he like us scouting Trippier last season? See a bit, hear a bit, but only base on judgement of when he was here and England games?

What would you do if he ran out on to the Selhurst park with the cockerel bleached onto his head?

He won't, so not relevant.

basically all this does is remind me what an incredible life professional footballers have

Paid silly money to play 6 a side with your mates and stay fit.

What a life.
