urban.spaceman Posted 7 September 2020 Share Posted 7 September 2020 I swear we were trying to sign him as far back as the 2014 window. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboFox Posted 7 September 2020 Share Posted 7 September 2020 In Brazil = Gabigol In Europe = Garbagegol He's got good numbers in his home country, but he flopped at Inter and didn't even get a look in at Benfica. Maybe a dodgy temperament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair that probably means we are genuinely interested. It's usually the ones that come back around with us that we actually sign! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 7 September 2020 Share Posted 7 September 2020 He never really got to actually play any football whilst he was in Europe In his first season at Inter Milan he played just 183 minutes in all competitions - scoring 1 goal He was then loaned out to Benfica for half a season where he played just 164 minutes in all competitions - scoring 1 goal He then returned to Santos for a year on loan where he played 42 games in all competitions - scoring 19 goals and 1 assist He then joined Flamenga initially on loan and was then made permanent where he has so far played 57 games in all competitions - scoring 41 goals and 12 assists He believes he never really got a chance at Inter Milan or Benfica, always being overlooked - https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/gabigol-i-didnt-get-a-chance-inter-or-benfica Would be a gamble for sure, but any signing from outside the Prem is going to have some risk to it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he's the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Posted 7 September 2020 Share Posted 7 September 2020 I remember him being terrible against Liverpool in the World Club Cup Final (I think). Like others have said, didn’t do great in Italy / Portugal and I can’t say he’s got great close control in these videos. Seems a bit knock the ball past and run. He can finish though, given a chance.

ALC Fox Posted 7 September 2020 Share Posted 7 September 2020 Clearly he has a lot of promise but maybe wasn't ready when he was a little younger. Maybe it's been a bit of a Wilfried Zaha sort of situation. If our scouts still think he's worth a punt, I wouldn't be against it. Brendy sometimes has a bit of a way with these mercurial talents as well, admittedly with some more so than others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homeboy can score and he is great at holding up the ball, there is no doubt about that. It seems to be a mental thing for him, he’s a bit of a loose cannon. Last season against Gremio, he knocked in a penalty and then seemed to decide he completely over playing in the game in the second half, so he got into it with the ref, won himself two quick yellows and plenty of time to make it to his dinner reservations or whatever he had planned that night. He also got a red card in the Libertadores final but not before he scored two goals in an incredible finish to that game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
