Rafael & Fábio - Now wanted by Portugal

Am i right in saying that some time ago we signed two Brazilian twins? Who are they? How old are they? Have they got potential? How long until we see them???

 

[mruk]

we can't have them over here until they are 18, i think they signed them a year ago and they were 15 then, i have no info about them though.

One was a LB...
The other a RB...

Future Superstar Twins

What you all think of Rafael & Fabio Pereira da Silva? Heard Man Utd have signed them as replacement for the Neville brothers! Great to hear that because both of them are full backs from left to right...


Another superstar in making... Rodrigo Pereira Possebom...What a Brazilian...

 

[Busby Boy]

I don't really know a lot about them, although i believe that United have signed them some time ago. Obviously, United rate them as good prospects.

 

[adamcsl]

Well...you can view them in the youtube.com on how they play..

 

[Branco]

I have seen Fabio play for Brazil u-17s on a few occasions and he looks dynamite, we have struck gold in landing him.

 

[Solsk]

Any idea on the fee for these players?

 

[Anderson's God]

Probably a compensation package when they hit 18 for their old club Fluminense.

 

[Jazz 16]

One of them is the captain of the U17s and is supposed to be better than his brother (Fabio possibly). They both have huge potential and great qualities.

[Anderson's God]

I have heard that too!

 

[Solsk]

So could this boy be the one that replaces Neville when he retires?

 

[Anderson's God]

It seems like it - yeah, quality Brazilian - the next 'Cafu'

Rafael is the right back so maybe.

Fabio the left sided fullback is the one that has made more of an impact though, he's captain of the u17 brazil side and is one of Brazils hottest teenage property.

Actually, United have been quite clever in securing these guys early...seems like a really good piece of business.

Thanks for posting the pictures of them, everybody.

 

[Anderson's God]

How I remember them is R - Rafael and Right back so then it makes it easy for me to remember where Fabio plays!

 

[Branco]

Fabio is a right footed left back.
