Incoming? Ronaldo Vieira

[Stretch]

Not to say this guy is 100% accurate but if it helps one of his tweets before this was Adam Webster to sign a new deal at Brighton and Brighton just announced exactly that. +1 credibility points maybe for Peter O.rourke

O' Rourke is generally on the money. Used to work for Sky so very linked in with agents and clubs.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Bloody hell, 11 yellows & 1 red in 27 appearances.

Sounds an absolute shithouse. I like it.

Not sure about the sideways and backwards passing and inability to carry it through the lines mind. Hopefully there's a plan for him based around on other more attack minded players we're looking to bring in.

agree - we are going to need someone to provide for our plethora of strikers.

The links so far to me in garner / viera seem more berge replacements. We are still going to need a creative outlet in the middle. No point winning the ball back if we can’t do anything with it.

 

[SouthportBlade]

Not overly familiar with him, but based on disciplinary record could be useful...

(If this is his game...) Think we missed a destroyer type player, last season to break things up when out of possession - but still being a competent ball player. Having Norwood as the shield in front of the defense was just terrible.

Ideally the anchor sitting in and providing protection allowing Berge / Fleck / Freeman / Norwood either a bit more time on the ball, or the the freedom to push forward and break the lines.

Thibk he could be a great foil for Berge, who if we use properly, he could be unplayable as a ball carrying play maker.

Thumbs up from me

A none scoring midfielder? Aren't we well covered in that spot?
He's not a creative player is he? More of a Berge replacement.

If he’s not a berge replacement it puts the double pivot on the table as an option. Would allow fleck, osborn and freeman to play advanced. Means Norwood isn’t a guaranteed starter every week

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

My only concern about this would be that Vieira and Berge are very similar; strong ball winning, creative midfielders. I just hope this isn't a replacement for SB and instead the replacement for Lunny.
But Sander and Vieira would be some midfield spine.

Plan for the worst, hope for the best and I'm not sure if this lad is being brought in with an immediate first team starter place in mind.
If we continue the rumoured pursuit of Garner then it would seem to be a 3 into 2 doesn't go, but it would suggest to me that we are looking more towards having a strong/physical central two who can play box to box. It would be a very functional base in the guise of the old "you have to earn the right to play first" mantra.

I think he'll eventually be a replacement for Norwood in all honesty as a defensive midfielder even if he's not being considered for that immediately, he breaks play up and has great energy.

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Speaking to my dirty dirty leeds mate who rates him highly and says he was playing the position K phillips plays before bielsa came

However he says he is a bit injury prone but would be a top signing

Any one know if its a loan or buy or whaaat

 

[Camden Blade]

Thumbs up for his name alone.

 

[Kevin Arnott]

Is he a sort of Kante style player ?

 

[adamawdhali]

Thing is, you don’t improve by getting backups. You need to bring in players with the aim of fighting for a starting role and it looks like thats what we’re trying to do

Viera isn't creative, he's a ball winning shithouse

 

[Wards]

Looks more of a Norwood replacement/competition to me. Particularly in games where we might be under the cosh a bit. He’s basically a Besic clone from what I’ve seen of him.

Our poor form coincided with Besic not being involved.

Just what we need

I got sick of seeing opposing midfielders strolling through us last season.

 

[ancientblade]

if viera and garner come in and we hang on to berge we will be sorted for midfield options and both norwood and fleck will have to up their games to stay in the side

Would like to see a bit more competition / cover for Fleck & Berge.
Viera & Garner provide good competition in the middle of the park.

I've mentioned it a few times but Jed Wallace & Lewis O'Brien would be good additions if there are any funds available.

Lewis O’Brien no chance. Leeds want him for 10mil

I’ve got to say that is possibly the least impressive highlights reel I’ve ever seen …….. and I’ve seen Michael Higdon‘s UTB

 

[Gretsch Blade]

Having watched the YouTube compilation he broke up play, retained possession and then made decent passes (some even went forward - which is an improvement from Lunny). So not creative in the Didzy sense, but does create chances by good passes through the lines

 

[Camden Blade]

Can't see both Viera and Garner coming. Both defensive central midfielders. Osborn Viera Berge would be a good combination or Fleck if he recovers his form instead of Osborn. Think Osborn deserves a long run in the side.

 

[Bladey_blade]

I know it's a YouTube highlight reel, but if we get a player even half as good as that he's the first name on the team sheet

Glad I wasn't the only one. Kozzy's made him look better I thought.

 

[Toronto Blade fan]

Looks like a loan move..... Hopefully with an option to buy. Could be a smart move.

 

[bongleblade]

Just had a look on Leeds forum, they seemed to really like him, but felt that he wasnt quite the finished article and therefore they needed someone a bit more ready to perform at PL level. Seems that questions still remain about whether to get him back to Leeds, which is a good sign considering the talent they have in that position with Kalvin Phillips

 

[TCsLoveChild]

Agreed, I’ve just watched Kozzy’s and it does a much better job. If I was Vieira’s agent I would be trying to get that other reel deleted from the internet! UTB

This would make sense, loan with an option/obligation to buy upon promotion i'd imagine

Concise all those things are definitely worth putting in an article about him but maybe don’t try and cram them all into the headline

Nicky Law played against Ronaldo too, just saying
