FABIO VIEIRA TO SIGN FOR ARSENAL

by .

‘VIEIRA OHHHH OHHH OHHHH, HE COMES FROM PORTUGAL, HE WANTS TO WIN IT ALL!’

COME ON THAT IS A GOOD SONG!

Oh, you want to know what I’m talking about?


David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano and a bunch of Portuguese journos are saying that we are in for attacking midfielder Fabio Vieira.

Talk about classic early 2000s Arsenal WOAH WHERE DID THAT COME FROM transfer news.

The player is 5ft7, he seems to play all across the midfield, his end delivery is most excellent, the player racked up 14 assists last season. Vieira also fits the mould from a profile perspective, he’s 22 years old, he’s made 76 apps for the Portuguese giants, and I suspect he has VERY good character. Dare I say he has a bit of the Santi’s in tight spaces?

 

Porto season ticket holder and Arsenal fan @ruipbcribeiro had this say after I commented on my expertise of the players after watching 12 minutes of Youtube videos.

A lot of the players videos show off his ability to break play from deep with accurate long balls and some of his final 3rd work looked very Tielemans/Xhaka-ish. But, apparently, he’s more of a second striker and an attacking midfielder.

Do I know how he fits into this Arsenal starting 11? No. But I’m sure there’s a cunning plan. He’s very good in tight spots, control seems to be a key component of his game, and his final ball looks really, really sharp.

I didn’t expect this sort of signing, but he does check the box of ‘better end product’ that we need. Arsenal has to find more goals next season, this guy might help us get there. 7 goals isn’t the greatest in Portugal but combined with 16 assists, it shows where things couldn’t be going for someone very young.

What is very interesting is no one picked up on this deal. Arsenal don’t have the biggest wallet, so they have to make their moves in silence, if we pull this off, it’ll be quite something because none of the big journos had a clue.

There are some other stories doing the rounds, the Italian journos who called the Vlahovic bid are saying we’re looking at Oshimen for £80m, some German folk are saying Nkunku for £100m (lol), and The Times are reporting that we’re frontrunners for Gabi Jesus and that deal will be done.

One day after crying like babies on the Patreon Podcast, we’re out here perking up and puffing out our chests?

A good day. Why don’t YOU tell ME how you think this transfers works for our squad?

The obsession of having a striker that’s good with his head is due to having nearly 3 years of watching our players pump crosses into the box and no one getting on the end of them.

It’s either we get a striker that can handle crosses or Arteta changes his playing style…..

Bob N16

Pierre, with more games and 5 subs I think ‘spreading the minutes’ is much more likely. Understand the criticism though!

This is exactly the sort of signing we should be making
Clever players with technical ability
Would have preferred someone with a bit more dribbling ability but 100% behind this sort of move/profile over fucking bissouma

Goobergooner

Man I hope his final third play isn’t xhakaish 😂

Wicked Willy

Dissenter, Hickey really is as two footed as Santi, is quite remarkable. From what I’ve seen of him, he has that ability to play a really expansive fullback role like Cancelo does, and I’ve even wondered if he would be suited to a Kimmich style transition in time. However, still young, so difficult to get too excited, but his ceiling is immense. I’d still rather take Zinchenko, because he can deliver today. That said, Hickey could cover both RB & LB, so Cedric becomes 4th choice full back, and that gives Tavares a year to go out on loan and… Read more »

Was looking at the list of Euro U21 players of the tournament, Viera the most recent, Canavaro and Figo make the list…as does Ceballos! Not sure if it tells us much.

Ha more like a left footed Alonso with those long slide rule passes

Wicked Willy

Bob, as previously discussed, that’s not the main reason why I’m excited by him. BUT, given that every transfer carries risk, and there are no slam dunk transfers as demonstrated by Lukaku, Hazard to Madrid, Pogba, Grealish etc, it does suggest there is a deliciously high probability of him becoming a superstar. Given all the other boxes he ticks, he seems to be a low risk, high ceiling investment, and one that probably wont’t be too much of a burden on wages.

Le grove are setting some high expectations already with the Viera lad. He will need time to settle and adjust to the physicality of the EPL. Looks a prospect But let’s no gas him up too much.

Just comparing his style.
This is a smart move in my book and exactky the type of player our midfield needs. We have enough large defensive midfielders already

Emiratesstroller

Arsenal’s goalscoring weakness last season is not down to lack of height or inability to head a ball. For a start we were fairly potent at set pieces and corners where our central defenders scored quite a number of goals from headers. Also I am reminded of the great header from which Nketiah scored a goal at the end of season. Arsenal’s lack of goals last season was primarily down to the poor performances of both Aubameyang and Lacazette who scored collectively around 10 goals. The lack of goal conversion when Lacazette played was down to the player being too… Read more »

Pleasantly surprised by the nature of this deal. Quick creative technician that has the potential to be great but well worth the risk for the price. The key thing with any transfer is does he improve us as whole, and this is certainly a yes. In Arsene’s best years we had multiple creative points in the first 11 and to me this transfer is also positive in that Edu/Arteta have recognised we need more creativity. He will need time to adapt so won’t be straight into the first 11 in my opinion. Also, anyone thinking this is what ends ESR’s… Read more »

The fishing gunner

This signing has me worried about ESR potential future at the club, I hope I’m wrong but if he bangs ESR could move on to get regular games. Would be a real shame as he’s one of our own.

andy1886

DBob, a couple of issues with your ESR thoughts. Firstly, Arteta has given him very little time as a #10, which incidentally is a role that Vieira also plays so no obvious reason why that would change now. Second point is that you’re viewing this from a fan perspective not the player’s perspective. If you were ESR would you be happy to be a ‘rotation option’ when the guy you’re going to rotate with is the captain of the first XI, a favourite of the manager and one of the first names on the team sheet? Remember that you’re a… Read more »

Anybody complaining about Viera doesn’t get it.
U21 players before the breakout and become unaffordable is our level now.

And btw, Odegard isn’t good enough to play make for a top 4 team.

He even shares the same name with Paddy. What’s there not to like?

raptora

DigitalBob: “The key thing with any transfer is does he improve us as whole, and this is certainly a yes.” I mean that’s not really the key thing as almost any expensive transfer will improve any team in the world. Same thing can be said about Bissouma because when Partey breaks who do we have that can play his role? Elneny sure, but imagine if Partey gets injured for half a season? It will be disasterous. A player of Bissouma’s profile would guarantee us the option to play with 2 strong defensive players that can also move the ball forward,… Read more »

Arteta had made a comment about Arsenal having players like Arshavin, Nasri, Cazorla, Rosicky, Ozil etc. and that Arsenal will have to have a similar array of talented attacking players for the club to move to next level. I think with Saka, ESR, Viera, Martinelli, Odegaard etc. he is trying to replicate what Wenger did which was assembling and playing together a lot of creative attacking players. This is why I don’t see there is any threat to ESR position in the team. My only gripe is limited game time he is getting. For me ESR and Saka are the… Read more »

We complain of squad depth in quality and at the same time cry about how signings will affect our favorites(ESR Saka, Martinelli etc). Mancity wouldnt have wom the league if there is no competition for places. Foden is talented but Pep never shouldered all the work on him . He had other players to push him to his best such that he can fight for his place in the line-up. Arsenal for a long time have not had competition for places in their lineups for years so it it is important to change that trend. We lost out last because… Read more »

Ollie

People complaining about ESR’s lack of game time in the second half of the season, but IMO his level completely dropped and it was therefore justified. I’m not sure if it was just me, but he looked so lethargic and unfit every time he played post January. Was it injuries?

raptora

With Odegaard’s transfer last season and ESR already on the verge of becoming a main player in the team (remember we declined atleast £30m from Villa), we all thought that the AM position is settled for the next 5 years. What happens? A year later we bring ANOTHER AM! Why? Did Ode fail to deliver as they hoped for? Is ESR not considered AM anymore? It’s just weird. Like when you have 2 very talented young players for one position, does it make sense to splurge £35m for another prospect playing exactly the same position? It makes little sense on… Read more »

Valentin

Stroller, You are misconstruing what has been said. The issue is not on set pieces where the new guy has done good job defensively, but in open play. As mentioned by numerous others, we have seen for the last 2.5 years Arsenal pumping crosses to midget strikers surrounded by giant CBs. Even if they had Tim Cahill sense of anticipation because of the nature of the crosses they are never going to outmuscle or outjump the defenders. Contrarily to what Arteta said, sending more crosses will not necessarily lead to more goals. I don’t think that we scored a single… Read more »

Pierre

Regarding losing smith rowe, selling Odegaard is the better option for me..
The way i lòok at it , there must be some concern over the creativity in the team , spending 30 odd million on a playmaker puts a question mark on Odegaard’s position in the team…

Odegaard made the no.10 position his own last season and our creativity was poor , i didn’t see Odegaard link with Eddie whichbfor me was disappointing, maybe the fabio/eddie partnership will flourish …..if Arteta actually gives them the opportunity to play together.

Bob N16

34m buyback clause on Nuno T being reported. I’d sell him for a third of that now!

AFC Forever

Nice post Pedro. I remember a while back when Arteta was talking about the lack of technical ability within the playing squad. For years we all complained about that and reminisced about players like Cazorla, probably the player I enjoyed watching the most. Arteta said this when interviewed some time back: “Look at the players that we had in the past at the club in those positions. You go back to Cazorla, to Rosicky, to Arshavin when he played there, to Ramsey, to Mkhitaryan when he came in. Even Jack used to play in those pockets all the time. That… Read more »

“What happens? A year later we bring ANOTHER AM”

I think Viera will be used as a back up for Saka. The way he plays he can be handy playing on the right. Can be deployed as a no 8 too if required. I don’t see him being used as a CAM. ESR and Ode likely to play as attacking midfielders.

Samesong

Un

I hear what you’re saying.

Mr Serge

Major Jneral exactly this lets hope they all happen we lost top 4 last season because of a lack of talent upfront and behind lets not do that again

Samesong

ESR probably my favourite player in the team. But he is injury prone and has fitness issues. All you have to do is google his injury history.

I think last season the covid affected him and physically and mentally. Never came back to form after that purple patch of scoring.

ESR is a also a massive confidence player. Pat on the back type of player. Needs encouraging just like most young players.

I am not going to write him off just yet. Hoping he’ll be back even stronger after in pre-season.

Mr Serge

esr as Samesong says has massive injury issues he could not get any form going as he has a persistent ankle problem plus he got covid twice, he is young he will get better physically, i remember a young Gerrard being injured a lot in his late teens early twenties, he had a good career

Mr Serge

TR7 is correct Vieira plays on the right and can play left or centre and as an 8

raptora

TR7,
They had this experiment at City with Bernardo Silva where he was rotating with Mahrez on the right wing. He was doing well, no doubt. But his best position was demonstrated before and I feel it’s a shame to waste that type of player’s influence by shoving him on the wing. Personal opinion ofc but Bernardo just an example of a player that was wasted on the wings.

AFC Forever

Samesong/Mr Serge

You are both correct.

ESR’s injuries have been well documented. Arteta spoke about it being frustrating not to be able to work with him enough on the training ground, because he needed to improve his fitness levels.

He’s a young lad, he has plenty of time on his side.

andy1886

Another consideration is that Saka hasn’t signed that new contract. If it doesn’t happen do we sell this summer rather than get much less when he has one year to go? If that’s the plan then better to get a replacement in first rather than pay through the nose after we’ve cashed in on a big player.

TR7

Raptora

Bernardo’s playing style is not direct which hampers his ability to be effective on wings. Viera from whatever YT videos I have seen is more direct which hopefully will result in him being able to influence games from wide areas too.

raptora

Serge, The notion that we are signing a winger is wrong. We are signing an AM or a second striker that Arteta might decide to move to a new position or might not. In 21/22 Vieira has 2 LM starts and 2 LM appearances as a sub and a total of ONE RW game – the one that everyone seems to look at vs Liverpool. It’s his ONLY RW game for the whole season. 85% of his games are as either AM or SS. Yes, we might use him somewhere else, but he doesn’t “play on the right”, he’s played… Read more »

ESR will get his minutes. He isn’t too good to sit on the bench from time to time. You could make a case for Martinelli,ESR or Odegaard. Now we have added this kid viera. So there will be plenty of games and rotation. Plus there is a 5 sub rule too so all these players will get at least sub appearances at the very least. Everyone will have to bide their time. Only Saka is a guaranteed starter for me. And we will run him down if we can’t get someone to play in his position when he needs a… Read more »

“Arsenal are still working on Youri Tielemans deal with Leicester waiting for an official proposal.”

I expect Tielemans to join too. A bit worrying that our alternative to Partey will be Elneny and that’s it.

However, I’m really happy that Xhaka is likely to be marginalized even if Tielemans wasn’t my preferred choice.

DigitalBob

Andy – I hear you but I think your opening sentence is key, under Arteta I don’t think ESR is seen as a no 10 but more of a wide option. So, and again this is all speculation as none of us are on the coaching staff, I think its Martinelli and ESR rotating on the LW and Odegaard and Vieira rotating in the number 8 position. Vieira seems to be very versatile, so he’ll probably play in a few positions. I don’t think any of ESR, Ode or Fabio Vieira should be a nailed-on starter and each needs to… Read more »

In talks with Jesus too apparently, seems concrete.

Really rate him as a player, just hope that we addanother goalscorer too and a wide one at that. We have lots of creative talent now but not a lot in the way of goals.

Habesha Gooner

The beauty of signing cheap young players like Tavarez is either they make it or you sell them for what you brought them for. Atalanta could use him well too. A LWB role is better for him than a LB role.

And if they blow up you will get a player like Martinelli for 6 mil. Our strategy has been much better now. Youth project with a bit of experienced 24 to 26 year olds is the way to go.

Amazing how many change tac so quickly
This is exactly what I’ve been saying since emery gave away all of our technical players
This is exactly the sort of midfield we need. This is exactly what this team lacks.
I never get tired of being right….

Nelson

Why are we arguing who should be our #10? Arteta told us he’ll play 4 3 3.

WengerEagle

Our last technically brilliant midfield was 2011 with Cesc and Jack in the middle and Nasri, Arshavin as wide playmakers.

I never felt that Ozil and Cazorla meshed really well as a pair funny enough. Both were outstanding players but disn’t have the chemistry that Cesc had with Nasri, Hleb, Rosicky.

Both combined better with Ramsey than each other.

Habesha Gooner

Wengereagle ESR had 11 goals, Odegaard 7 goals, Saka 11 goals, Martinelli had 6 goals. These players will improve their put puts as we get better. We missed out on top 4 because our CFs didn’t get any more than 5 goals each. That will change with Jesus. Add 10 or so goals to last season tally and we would have made top 4 comfortably. I don’t know if this Viera kid will provide some goals too. I am hoping we catch Chelsea. Because they had a crap season.

Jack Santi rosicky Ramsey and Giroud all combined beautifully for some outstanding 1-2 touch goals
The Jack goal vs Norwich springs to mind and rosicky got a couple vs spurs and Sunderland if I remember correctly with some beautiful combination work.

WengerEagle

I think that either we see Odegaard dropping deeper to play next to Partey and one of ESR/Vieira as the CAM or bringing in another CM- Odegaard as the 10 and Vieira/ESR playing mainly at LF.

In this event we will need Jesus to be much more like he was in his first 18 months at City and very much in hungry for goals ST mode.

8 PL goals and 8 assists won’t cut it. We’ll need more like 15+ PL goals and 5 assists from him.

Un

Expect Nketiah to improve upon his 10 goals next season too
The kid produced as much in 13 matches as auba and Lacazette did over a season, goal wise

I still think we need a quality CDM for even our attacking players to flourish and avoid getting physically dominated by the likes of Spurs, Palace, Pool etc.

WengerEagle

Un

Agreed they had some sublime moments and goals but in terms of all-round controlling and dominating matches, we haven’t done that consistently since 10/11 imo.

We went toe to toe with the greatest club side in history and gave them a much harder game than Fergie’s United managed in the Final. 1st leg anyways, 2nd leg was one sided and RVP bullshit sending off ended it as a contest.

raptora

Nelson,
4-3-3 supposedly a midfield of Partey and Tielemans with one more. We played that already last season with Partey and Xhaka + Odegaard. Xhaka still had more responsibilities in defence than Odegaard and I don’t expect that to change with Tielemans in place of Xhaka. The 3rd guy in that midfield three, will be more offensive than the rest – which fits the profile of Ode, Vieira and ESR.

WengerEagle

Agree TR7.

You like Sangare? Or Anguissa who is still gettable for me.

Reading that we are still going for tielemans despite he vieira signing
Midfield looking great
Defence looking good with Saliba coming in
Goalkeeper is great
A wide player and a striker and we are looking very bloody healthy

So according to Fabrizio Romano’s tweet, Vieira is coming for £30m up front and another £4m if conditions are met, at current exchange rates.

Habesha Gooner

Un Absolutely. He was third choice for half the season and 2nd choice for the 2nd half of the season. And we only played PL games in the 2nd half of the season. The target for him must be 15 goals. Anything more is a bonus. TR7 We are one Partey injury away from a crisis at DM. Elneny did ok last season. But we will get slaughtered like spurs did when we roll up with him in those type of matches. I am hoping Sambi justifies his transfer fee next season.

The 07-08 and 10-11 squads were superior but I’m not sure I agree
We controlled and dominated the ball in plenty of matches during the Giroud/Santi years, just not as consistently

Habesha

I don’t see ESR and Saka scoring much more than 22 PL goals combined, they are victims of their own success in front of goal this season if anything. I would be more confident in Saka scoring 10-15 than I would ESR.

I also don’t see Odegaard improving on 7 too much, he is a 7-10 goal guy at best for me. Marti will score more though and Eddie looks to have goals in him from the bench.

WengerEagle

That is my point though Un.

We didn’t dominate nearly as much in the post Fabregas years. And definitely not in the big matches.

No chance we would have went stroke for stroke with prime Pep’s Barca with the later teams. Too busy getting abused by Bayern, Monaco and lesser Barca in those seasons.

WE, I agree with you completely. But we’re still going for Tielemans so that removes Ode dropping deeper in midfield entirely. Watching us play a midfield three of Flamini, Cesc, Hleb and Song, Cesc, Nasri has left me craving for that football and even if we didn’t win anything back then, it was such a joy to watch. Even in later years Coquelin, Santi, Ozil although a scuffed version was still very good to watch. Going for Tielemans we won’t have that fine playing deeper playmaker in the mould of Cesc and Santi.

Anyone of Ndidi, Rice or Neves will do for me but not sure any of them is gettable at reasonable price. If Anguissa is available then we should try for him.

As much as I loved Cazorla as a player (my favourite Arsrnal player of the past 10 years) I always find it odd that he is rated higher than Fabregas by some Gooners. Cesc performed on all levels for us and in all comps. Cazorla as great as he was domestically wasn’t the same player in the CL. I am pretty sure that he never scored once for us in Europe which is very surprising for a player of his amazing ability.

Habesha, yes £35m is a steal for Jesus. We are slowly creating the ability to develop a more fluid interchangeable system, which is important. You have to have options too and that means having a deep squad that isn’t dependent on fringe players. ESR will be a valuable part of that, he has been hampered by his injury’s but he’s got a lot to add.

I share the sense of excitement over Vieira. Out of the blue, and had never heard of him, but the consensus amongst some of you experts appears really positive.

I’m of an age in remembering when Mirandinha, the first Brazilian, arrived at Newcastle. Growing up with famous Brazil sides of Pele, they always seemed so glamorous.

Martinelli gives me the same feeling of excitement, and that brings me to other summer signing, Marquinhos.

Literally seen one goal from him, and all the old anticipation comes flooding back.

how about abusers that tell people to ignore your posts and are rude just because your opinion is different and how dare you be optimistic?
even if they are jerks of the highest order? i e killjoy
