CONFIRMED Vinícius Souza

[Hamandcheese]

Start him v Lincoln, keep racking up the minutes

 

[sufc323]

Can see him being a cult hero, looks like he's going to have a busy role this season and seems like he's adapted well.

That tackle/assist for Bogle's goal the other day was timed to perfection, and if he didn't make it we were vulnerable to the counter.

 

[ItCouldBeWorse]

This man is an absolute boss

 

[Rufus Smalls]

This man is an absolute boss

Played well today, pity he didn’t pull the trigger in their box in the final few minutes.

 

[AWetFlannel]

Surprised how composed he is on the ball, very impressive.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

I wouldn't go so far as to say he's the signing of the summer, but so far he's certainly the find of the summer compared to Slimane, Larouci and Traore. I really like him and he'll definitely go on to be a fan favourite as everyone loves a workhorse in red and white. Great scouting.

 

[The Hobott]

Improving every game this guy.

 

[JPBrods]

In what has been a really chaotic summer transfer wise he's quietly looking like a real quality signing.

 

[ItCouldBeWorse]

I wouldn’t fancy playing against him, hard as nails. He’s exactly what we needed, a bit of physicality in midfield. You know that massive roar you get from the crowd when someone puts a big bastard tackle in, we’ll get a few of those from Vinni this season.

 

[JayGreen17]

Love him already ], he’s gonna be a cult hero isn’t he, what a Berge upgrade.

 

[Weasel]

I like him.

 

[ItCouldBeWorse]

I like him.

Me too

 

[Ricardo Mantelban]

My MOM with Mcburnie

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

My MOM with Mcburnie

That’s not how it works.

 

[Lightsoot]

Like him lots too, great tackler and better on the ball than I thought.

Slight criticism…slightly at fault for Everton’s opener? Lost Doucore in the box?

But overall a very promising start.

 

[Greg.]

When you look at some of the fees paid for defensive midfielders this summer, he looks a neat signing by us

 

[Stretch]

He's got better and better so far.

Him, Hamer and McAtee playing together is a tantalising prospect, with Norwodd, Davies and Slimane to keep them all honest.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Love him already ], he’s gonna be a cult hero isn’t he, what a Berge upgrade.

His stare is harder than a Berge tackle.

 

[Blade56]

My MOM with Mcburnie

Weren’t that good, nearly but McB bossed it

 

[Nick Jansky]

Very comfortable on the ball & happy to receive it under pressure. As he grows into the league and fully understands his role in our system he will continue to improve. Looks a great signing.

 

[Chadders]

Thought he was poor today but most, it seems, think he had a good game. Hardly touched the ball in the first half. You can tell there’s a player there but not sure why people think he had a good game?

I have to say I agree; I thought I may be being harsh, but for someone with his size and stature he should be dominating that midfield area more and not letting large chunks of the game pass him by? But recognise that he needs time to get up to speed with things.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

He isn’t being played where he should be. He’s no good going forward. Get him in Norwood’s position ASAP.

 

[VwBlade]

Not hard to be fair

 

[Keen Blade]

He isn’t being played where he should be. He’s no good going forward. Get him in Norwood’s position ASAP.

I reckon we'll see him behind McAtee & Hamer , not trying the Norwood pings but feeding those two with neat passes

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Where does Slimane fit in the scheme of things?

 

[jono_t2000]

but so far he's certainly the find of the summer compared to Slimane, Larouci and Traore.

That's because he was part of the city group and cost almost double Slimani, Traore and the Larouci loan fee combined

 

[Weasel]

I reckon we'll see him behind McAtee & Hamer , not trying the Norwood pings but feeding those two with neat passes

That absolutely should be his role in the team. I'm sure that will be Hecky's plan for him after the international break. That deep lying midfield role protecting the centre halves is his role and what he does. Norwood (good dependable player that he is) now needs to be a cover player.

 

[S40BLADE]

I reckon we'll see him behind McAtee & Hamer , not trying the Norwood pings but feeding those two with neat passes

100% this. Vini is a thorough-bred modern defensive midfielder and i feel that despite his good performances so far that he would be more impactful in that role. Also, the prospect of Hamer and McAtee next to each other is incredibly exciting, probably most balanced midfield we have had in a long time.
