Have you even seen Selke play? You wouldn't know what his strengths or his weaknesses are. Stop with this attempted wind ups, what is it with this place, wind up city these last few weeks.

Can anyone give a straight answer on Gabriel Barbosa?

I always wondered why we never bought South American strikers since Wenger has said himself that they produce the best ones.

He's so highly rated within the continent that I'd be surprised if anybody hasn't seen Selke play.

The top ones are very difficult to sign. They're usually sought after by the likes of Barca or Real. Prizing them from those two clubs is a big ask.

Based on youtube and the occasional TV highlights: yes please.

We did sign a top one to be fair in the past. Fabian Caballero.

Obligatory scoutnation vid:

Watched a few YouTube videos and I don't see anything all that special. I know he's very highly rated by a couple on here, but the big clubs don't seem to beating down his door this summer.

The last time ESPNBrasil reported that we are dead cert to sign someone, it failed terribly and he is now rotting at Shakhtar. Taking this with a pinch of salt to be honest.

Would he get a work permit?

I think the new work permit rule was anyone over 10m would automatically get a permit.

A bit of the Agüero about this boy stylistically.
