Villarocker Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Isn't he the only player in the team that also cannot speak the language? I'm sure I read that Wesley was acting as his interpreter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he isnt making an effort that isnt good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His twitter has a mixture of Portuguese and English so whilst may not be fluent in English, seems to be picking it up. Clearly linking up well with the players though, which would be incredible if he didn't speak any English... Anyway, another decent performance, and whilst he has had some duff games, he is 21. I think we have got a real gem of a player in him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Wesley scored you could lip read Luiz saying “about ******* time”. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I said if it's taking time that's fine. But not fine if no effort is being made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...fine if effort is being made? Either way, nobody knows, so why focus on the negative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No focus on negative, was literally 50/50, saying good if yes, bad if no. Seems you focused on the negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I like him. There’s something nice about he and Grealish being in the same side too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I think he will be a top player, I hope its with us. Its very hard to judge players, especially foreign players and him being so young. I have a hunch, he will be ok......not yet, but in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I guess if he said no release clauses that would be technically untrue if there was a buyback, I'm not sure that would have crossed his mind! I like Luiz too. I think if the team around him improves we can really see him come into his own in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to hope he reaches the level the month after any buyback (if it exists) expires! Probably wishful thinking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
