I managed to see Gabriel Barbosa of Santos play in a replay of the match between Brazil and Panama. He played very good, scoring a goal off of a nice touch to control and a cool finish into the bottom corner. He seems like he'll be something special, just has that special something about the way he plays.
On a separate note, another player caught my eye. Lucas Lima, he's 25 years old and plays for Santos, but the guy really looked sharp, and after a considerable amount of research apparently he's been doing really well this season generally. Very interesting player.
We were very heavily linked to Gabriel, and his agent said a move to Milan is possible but we wanted to loan him, and he said he'd only move there if we bought him. This was last May, so roughly a year ago. This is a typical Galliani mistake, how many times is it going to take him until he realizes it just doesn't work? Now, a year later we'd probably pay double if we want him.
I would bring in Gabriel and Lucas Lima if I could. Hand Santos 40million for the pair. They're impressive.
