Apparently Lucas Silva is a done deal.
Apparently Lucas Silva is a done deal.
It's kinda incredible and hard to believe because RM is changing so much. It's like they went from buying only pretty much finished articles who are already world's best to playing Fifa Career Mode .
Buying all the talent in the world wouldn't do anything unless you know how to use them to their potential.
Real Madrid's record with Brazilians aint very good. How good is this Lucas Silva guy though? Heard good things about him, but never watched him play.
Would be interesting to see how he does.
He is a DM and they've fared better with their defensive Brazilians then the offensive ones like Robinho and Julio Baptista. Marcelo was also brought in the winter market.
While I agree he may be replaced sooner rather than later, this kid is really good and will probably develop even better under Carlo. I'd be shocked if he isn't at a top club in 5 yrs. I also suspect this is a mini SouthAmerican galactico signing by Perez because he is popular in Brazil( not like Neymar tho) and good looking.
We don't need a Brazilian because we have our own homegrown kid Sergi Samper and Busi is still only 26.@barcastuff Tweeted this on June 19th this past year.
According to his agent, Barcelona are interested in Cruzeiro midfielder Lucas Silva (21). No talks yet. The Brazilian club ask 10M. [md]
I know its from MD and probably fake but I'd be pissed to find out if this were true especially if he succeeds at Madrid.
