Vilhena is the type of player I would like to see us sign more often. He may or may not be a new superstar in the making but he is a low risk signing that has high upside. Even if he struggles, he doesn't make a ton of money like Monto, and therefore can easily be offloaded to other teams without much of a struggle. Young players develop at different pace, and it is not totally uncommon for players that age to have some bumps on the road. Pjanic, for example, struggled at Lyon after impressing early, only for Roma to come in and took a chance on a buy low. Look how well that turned out. Not saying Vilhena will be Pjanic, just for comparisons sake.
