i think this exaclty what we needed. by the looks of that video he is a very good passer of the ball and his final ball seems to always be the right one (while not always working) which has been our one of our problems from our trial games and i would say is the main reason why we haven't beaten teams by even more goals.
he has come through the right youth system thats for sure.
good luck to him.
You can't be too negative about this - young Brazilian AM who has the right background, no injuries, keen to impress.
Of course there will be the "who is he - where's the big name ?" people out there, but Fred, Carlos, Flores et all were no names too.
Just that one striker away from having a very tidy preseason.
Hopefully this bloke will be able to feed a whole tonne of chances to ryu et al.
promising.
Love the vision, fast decision making and passing range that the video shows. Bernardo looks like a very tidy signing.
Not a lot of goals on display but hopefully he will develop that ability in the A-League.
Still a team of young kids though. You don't win things with kids!
tell that to the mighty ducks.
question: will we be filling both our marquee spots, as this guy is seemingly under the cap? am i assuming right that we have the visa spots & marquee spots available to sign both an australian marquee as well as an international big name?
OK
Griff.
Riberio has a red card to his name in only 5 games for his albanian club. No stats for assists. only 1 Goal
We wont make any more signings.
until foti confirms it, i won't believe a single rumour/assumption about the jets ever again.
OK
The Jets have a history of nurturing the loveable rogue back into form (Ljubo, Zadkid)
We have also looked like a laughing stock when giving them the cold shoulder (Jardel, Zura etc)
This one could go either way. His form as a junior certainly looks promising. I hope this guy fits in the Ljubo category. I can see him being a fan favourite if he comes good.
In terms of experience, I was hoping for someone with alot more. Hopefully he is a real leader that can direct play. Not much info, so will just have to wait and see how he goes in Jets colors.
Do you guys reckon we'll play both Riberio and Brown in the midfield? Something like
-------------Jobe--------------
-------Riberio-------Brown
---R.Griff-----Striker-------Taggart
From soccerway? Not too sure how up to date that is... considering they have no prior club there either. And if he was playing CL games, you would imagine he was better than 5 games in the league.
Who knows though, but promising signing for mine.
Transfermarkt.co.uk
Apparently he has only made 7 appearance total (including 2 champions league games which were late subs, for a total 43 minutes played) This seems consistent with his wikipedia article. The albanian club website doesn't seem to have information at all.
Can anyone confirm whether he is on crutches?
Or are we checking that stuff before signing nowadays?
No Apology required.
So was this bloke released from the Albanian club or did we buy him? Forgive me if I've missed something but according to wiki (yes i know) he signed a 4 year deal with them in June 2011.
