Paulista. I sent it at the same time you posted your message and it confused matters. I'd be very surprised it we went for a 24 year old who couldn't play for us for a few seasons. Can't see him filling the "exceptional talent" criteria either.

Totally agree with you,the question would be if he's so good why at 24 has he never been capped

David Luiz and Thiago Silva have been pretty unmovable from the Brazil CB position though, even though they shipped 7 against Germany in the WC
 
Sounds a little iffy with the Paulista transfer. Do we want to fanny about with a guy that might not be allowed to play for us this Jan? Sounds risky unless we can prove he's exceptional, which in itself will be difficult.
 
It will be very difficult to say he's exceptional when he's never been capped by Brazil at any level.
I wouldn't put too much stock in that. Brazils team selections have been horrific for the last 4-5 years.

Who knows? He could be another Squillaci or another Koscielny.
 
According to Wiki,Paulista has never been capped by Brazil at any level.
P.S. Thiago Silva didn't play in the game against Germany <whistle>
.

He didn't need to. Sideshow Bob would have ****ed that game up whoever he was play alongside. <whistle>
 
I'm actually quite excited about the Krystian Bielik signing.

6'4 young defensive midfielder. Not a typical Wenger midfielder and another indication that Wenger is looking to change things up a bit.
