Im not convinced he’s any good :-(

He was arguably the best young prospect in the world as an 18 year old. His move to Europe went pretty well, but his development was stalled by PSG bringing in new toys like Neymar and Mbappe. He's still on the same level as Draxler and Pastore though.

We need pace and the ability to beat a man in attacking areas - he has both. Additionally the fee is a bargain when you consider what players cost nowadays - Danny Drinkwater was £35m, Janssen cost us £18m before the recent price inflation, that Turkish CF cost Everton £25m, Leicester's new Portuguese midfielder was in the 20s, Barkley wasn't that much less despite only having 6 months left on his contract. Moura is more proven than all of them and has 36 caps for Brazil

A mantra of Brian McClair's coaching I remember was, it doesn't matter if you give the ball away, so long as your next touch is a tackle.

I remember one coach who always banged on about pace, he said defenders can't cope with it, which was ridiculous as it was the 70's and you just kicke

Maybe we'll sign Moura and Malcom. We can dub them M&M.

Or the Son-Moura wing forward combination as S&M

 

[billyiddo]

I really hope Kane sticks around because i really want to see Son Moura him

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

With Eriksen pulling the strings. Maybe Dele a bit deeper making late runs...

Could be something special.

Maybe Malcom can play central....

Some might say Malcom in the middle.....

Nope?

Ok

And asian tourists and over excited kids can have their photos taken with them like in Leicester square.

Good insight there, thank you for posting that.

Interestingly Poch said that he would like to "add more players" before the window shuts next week........so it's very possible we are looking at bringing in more than just Lucas.

Could you take the Ryan Sessegnon talk to the Ryan Sessegnon thread please.

We will be signing him sometime in the future I would imagine, as a long term replacement for Danny Rose, so it has no connection to Lucas Moura whatsoever.

It's been discussed before but Poch often gets his singular and plurals mixed up, so I wouldn't read anything into it. English is his fourth language after all.
