Fabio Vieira: The Portuguese Project

[drippin]

So what happened with him? It says injured, but has there really been any update about it?

He had zero minutes since his red card with Burnley. Another £40M+ wasted !?

I remember being at the stadium on that Burnley match and almost nobody were angry at Vieira for the red card, of course that is because we were also already cruising at 3:1 and people were sympathetic by clapping as he was going off.

I hope it's not another player that crossed Arteta and we won't be seeing him again. If so, then better to cash out on him while we can.

Came across new information, Arteta said it might be a few weeks for Vieira to be back.

This is still the best performance from any of our LCMs this season. He's built like a paper bag in a storm, but at least he understands the fundamentals of a midfielder.

When we are attacking in possession yes. The other side of the game is where he has extremely serious flaws, including the timing and execution of his press.

What a complete flop ffs

He favors this guy but doesn’t give ESR or Nelson a kick of the ball. Get this bozo a suit, a scholarship to Clown College and let him work in a profession he could be qualified for we know football manager ain’t it.

Clearly the worst injury of his career.

 

[Entropics]

Who injured him? Was it Havertz?

When you have a defensive monster like Rice that doesn't matter so much imo, especially against teams who will set deep.

My view only: It matters hugely because of our structure. When one domino falls, it has a knock on effect.

We also need our attackers to be effective high pressing / duel winning because we basically play with a one man midfield and high line. Even prime Vieira would struggle to do what we are asking of Rice. He had ball winning monsters like Petit for Arsenal and Makele for France.

To get the best out of Rice offensively and defensively, we need everyone to be effective at doing a little bit of what he does.

He’s a good footballer. You can still argue he hasn’t been developed by the manager.

That’s a joke right?

£29m

We don't know much about his development yet though, young kid from a foreign league, it'll take 3 - 4 years.

He wasnt a regular in the starting 11 at Porto. A nothing player.

So he was pictured with the squad in training gear a month ago, but no sign of him since? Media haven't asked about him either in press conferences.

He's frugal. Only clothes he owns are team issued gear.

Frugal or smart. Why buy clothes when you can get free clothes

Is this guy still alive?

Barely. He’s on life support

Maybe he's in the gym and comes back like a beast.
