Initially disappointed that he remains with the Dev squad for now but it’s a sensible move . Let him adapt and grow. Should have done the same with Heverton Santos although he is a fair bit older .
Just when I thought I understood Brexit / work permit restrictions I really don't.
How have we got this cleared? Is his Nan from Slough?
I think basically every club has a few slots for players who don't quite fit the criteria to get an English league work permit. But you can then convert these players onto a work permit when they've played enough games and free up a slot again. An example being Varane who will have played enough games soon to get the required work permit and therefore frees another slot. But for instance, Paul Nardi played top flight football and in Europe last season so he already has enough points for a work permit. Same with when we signed Ken Paal, regular in the Dutch top flight so that was fine. Probably the case with Celar too playing in Europe and being an international. But we can bring in this lad because he's a Brazilian youth player, kind of keep him in holding until he plays enough minutes to get a proper permit, then we free the slot again when he's eligible. Its just a system for us to bring players in with a view to them becoming eligible.

I believe Esquerdinha got an assist on his debut coming on as a sub at Swansea in a 5-0 win then made his first start in the 2-0 Cup win* v Leicester. Played the first 70 minutes. And played in the next two games.
*3 other London teams left in the QF of the Premier League Cup - Brentford, Charlton, & Ch*ls** - so a derby could be on the cards.
Video looks like a LW rather than LB. I am not too bothered about the attacking crosses and dribbles, we have other players for that.
Show me way more crunching tackles (there are only four of them in there), last-ditch defending, heading against bigger players, covering other players' mistakes in defence, losing the ball running back and winning it, getting passed by a faster player but recovering to block the cross (Dunne has to do this a lot), not getting caught out with the in-between CB/LB defence-splitting ball (Paal, I am looking at you), blocking crosses, and shouldering the ball out of play.
Then as an extra ... Cultured passes out of defence, helping to beat the press with pass and move, passing into the middle between the oppo forwards and splitting the oppo middle by doing it. Balls up the line that actually give our forwards time to control it. And a long diags across the pitch to the other RB or even better RW (Cook does this).
Then we are talking about the next Clive Wilson. Otherwise, it's Drewe over again. Nice lad, but not what we need.
