Yes, saw his last few games before Xmas. No german grannies in the closet? He looks awkward( maybe he had a growth spurt), like a skinny Ronaldinho without the buck teeth, his bandy legs kinda swim around in his shorts, but he is the best dribbler to appear in a long time. He seems to have charachter too, because he doesn't get intimidated despite getting hacked alot. Very cool and confident with the ball at his feet, despite defenders upon him, and his final delivery is usually as good as his build up.
Would he want to come though? He's only 17, he probably can't speak English, and he will be expected to adapt to a faster, harder league. We'd be doing him more harm than good getting him over.
Saw him on either Futbol Mundial or Western Union World Football on Sky last week! He looks the business, very quick and very very skilful! Him and his mate Diego are tearin' up the Brazilian League so I hear! If I were Alex I'd try get one or both of 'em now before we have to pay millions and millions 3 or 4 years down the line. But then again, who am I to tell the Gaffer what to do! I can only hope!
