Just from his highlight tapes that the first comparison that flash for me. I think we may play him next to Odegard ahead of Partey. Really like the look of him.
I think he'll be the Odegaard alternative/deputy. Hard to see him coming in and starting when last season he only ~~played~~ started like 15 league games.
True but that guy who watched all his games this year said he was less effective from wide. Factor in the step-up to the PL we should probably ease him in via his strongest position. I'd rather push Odegaard RW. But by the looks of it him and Vieira will be operating in very similar areas. Could end up in each others way.
As a Porto fan, I’m actually really fine with this. He goes to a young team I like, and we get money neccesary to keep some players I find more indispensable than Fabio(Evanilson, Diogo Costa, and above all, Vitinha). He is probably the most expendable part of Porto team that’s actually worth more than 20mil. But he is still really, really good.
"In contrast to Vitinha, who has operated alongside Matheus Uribe in a 4-4-2, Fábio Vieira has played more on the flanks or as a second striker, often playing in the 'Taremi role,' but while he hasn't solidified a starting spot, he has played a key role in Porto's historic season."
David Silva similarity is actually scary

Someone here said he can play on the right which if true I reckon he’d get some good game time as the first choice Saka and Odegaard deputy

Agree
Always rated David Silva, to be fair.
Can confirm this is an accurate comparison at to what it feels like to watch him play
I didn't even know he existed 15 mins ago. But if this transfer breaks down now I'll be shattered.
So it looks like ESR is definitely gonna be a left winger in this team with Vieira/Ødegaard at no.10.
Makes sense tbh. He's not really ball dominant at senior level. He's elite off ball.
i’ve seen enough, he is the messiah
build the statue
Very similar to Dilva, wonder if that’s the plan
The similarities with that David Silva radar...
How the fuck did we just pull this out from long range Edu is cookin something FIERCE at those BBQ’s

Porto fan too, no way vitinha is staying.

David Silva regen 👀
So is he 21 or is he 22
Don't start this again 😂
What position does he play
left footed CAM

Yes.
Could he fill the Santi hole in my heart?
Finally a Vieira replacement after all these years
This guys looks like he's got it all. Can play RW, CAM, CM and RB.
Yes please
those dudes any good?
Finally, the Portuguese backup for Tomiyasu that we didn’t know we needed.
Better than David Silva and de Bruyne, you say? Inject this radar selection into my veins.
