I prefer Micheal Seri over this guy ... barcelona will regret not signing seri
Seri is almost 06 years older and Arthur will be a far superior player. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Arthur is not a normal player you can sign in South America. Is a potential generational talent as midfielder.
Barcelona board is 200% right to sign players like Dembele and Arthur who could serve the club for ten years.
Happy about that signing after watching videos on Youtube but at the end of the day, he's just another unproved brazilian.
Just like for all the other one's, we have to see how he adapts to football in Europe.
He's young and technically gifted though, which is top news. How's his defending ? Any Brazilian league amateur here to give us a reliable opinion ?
His team Gremio plays heavy possesion/passung football similar to Barca. He is proved in the Libertadores. Libertadores is not in the level of the Champions League in terms of quality, but the games are much more a war and the players who can do well in the Libertadores tend to be good everywhere.
Majority of South American players that cant adapt in europe are those guys who played few months only in their local leagues, never played in continental games and some european club comes to sign them while they are cheap.
Its not the case of Arthur. He was MVP in a Libertadores final.
Just to clarify: he is not an attacking midfielder. I assume he will play as "interior" in europe; but Gremio play 4-2-3-1 and Arthur is one of the double-pivot, more like a passing DM or deep playmaker.
