Fabio plays on the left.
fecking quality the lad is
Forget the pace,its the hunger to bomb forward at every oppurtunity that makes him united quality.
Oh and he's not scared to make a aerial challenge as well.

...And great timing after the last days of Arsenal youngsters-wanking on here.
The League Cup will be very interesting to follow this year.

Who scouted these two?
Has pace and loves to attack but the worrying thing is a great team can catch him out of position cause he doesnt stay at his position.
The potential is there anyway.

Encouraging stuff from Rafael. Quick and athletic, seems to be good going forward. Better 'fro than Rio.
Looks like he could be something special. Anybody reckon he'll get the odd game this year? Against Stoke or Hull maybe?
Damn thats one hell of a player we got ourselfs, and if Fabio are like him or better, my cocks out.
Anyone see the skill he used to come inside the penalty area before he took his shot? Was ronaldo-esque!
Im very impressed by what ive seen. He looks quick, skilful and loves to attack. Basically a Patrice Evra for Right back.
I think scouts at the club first spotted the twins playing for Fluminense in the U15 Premier Cup tournament. The club also first noticed Possebon and Giovani Dos Santos now at Tottenham at that tournament as well.
How come fab and rafa aren't in the brazil olympics team?
Don't tell me they've got better fullbacks than those two?
or do cafu and roberto carlos still insist on playing?

They're using the older and more experienced Marcelo and Rafinha.
Yes Rafael and Fabio playing togetter
They've got Rafinha (Schalke 04) on the right and Marcello (Real Madrid) on the left, who are full internationals as well. So the twins are pretty far down the pecking order there, probably due to their lack of football in the last year or so. But they have time on their sides.
Right, cheers for that. Good spot whoever it was.
Don't think i've ever been so excited about 2 full backs.
Rafael looks to be a smashing wee player, he's impressed me very much this first half. Can't wait to see what Fabio does now
Rafael is amazing
He just got hacked down. Send that bastard off.
A brazilian on the left,
A Brazilian on the riiiiight.
Those twins from Rio
Make Peterborough look like shite.

Our scout in Brazil, John Calvert-Toulmin, who recommended Rodrigo as well.
Cheers.
damn we got some bright young stars coming through
Gibson scored a gem of a goal btw.
Right that settle's it, I'm growing my hair and getting me a perm.
Whats good for Hargo, Rafael, Fabio & Possebon - is good for me

As long as you dont sing the hargreaves 'I want Curly Hair Too' song.
Well they ARE Brazilian, good on the ball, tonnes of skill, fast, they both think they are wingers, no clue about positioning. Nowhere near the first team yet, very raw, very talented.
Fabio and Rafael are class.
'A sensation' according to SAF, interview on right now.
Sir Alex Ferguson - "Rafael was a sensation".
Rafael looked the better of the two today.
Sir Alex Ferguson - Rafael is a nugget
Well at least people now understand why Simpson was sent out on loan. I expected a bit more from Fabio but he will get more chances to shine.
Rafael>Fabio. FACT!
All of a sudden, i have a sudden urge to gauge your eyes out with a spoon. You do realise you are talking about an omnipotent being?
what he said
fecking hell, I'm well excited about these two now.
