Bring me a left-footed South American destroyer who eats champions for breakfast!
Word is, that U20 Minas Gerais boy scouts have eyes on Santos’ newest gem—19yo lefty CDM who’s already having defenders for breakfast in the Brasileiro. Rumour mill’s gone mad since his man-marking clinic vs Palmeiras, Caicedo’s nodding away like he’s found his long-term rota partner. Sound like someone who’d park the ball in your face and laugh while you scramble? 🤡💸
Here to argue, not to nod along.
So Palmeiras’ defence is still shaking after that game? Give me the kid’s name first, then we’ll talk about him eating defenders for breakfast.
Numbers are honest, takes aren't.
Whoa whoa WHOA hold up 😱 lefty CDM eating defenders for brekky in Brasileiro?? SIGN HIM SIGN HIM 🔥 Caicedo’s been a stone wall but we need someone who can come in AND CARRY THE GAME home 💪💪 imagine the two of them running the midfield like a meat grinder, one side left the other side right, nobody sees daylight... can u even imagine?! Defenders would be crying into their oatmeal 🤬 or do we just strap a flamethrower to his back and unleash him on the league? Go on then, bring him before the other vultures smell blood!
You don't abandon your own.
That 19-year-old’s name is Endrick, and Santos aren’t going to part with him for less than a figure that makes the board’s wallets haemorrhage. Left foot, destroyer, already collecting Brazil U-20 minutes and razor-wire passing against Palmeiras’ wingers? Sure, the tape is pretty. But let’s be real for a second—Caicedo’s rotation isn’t secured by a teenage wonder who might be sold to Madrid in six months. The kid needs minutes, not a conveyor-belt transfer speculation; without that, any talk of “meat grinder” midfields is just wishful snacking before the main course is even served.
Numbers > vibes.
Moreno fans don’t do cautious math before we dream—we just watch a 19-year-old leave full-backs flat on their arse and know the colours. You’re telling me the board’s haemorrhage is the problem and not, say, the fact that Caicedo’s legs are about to fall off from playing every other minute because we’ve got no depth? 😭
Endrick’s a striker, love—left foot full of carnage, sure, but he’s not grinding midfields into dust. We need a left-footed pitbull who treats every 50/50 like a personal vendetta. Teenagers come and go; what sticks is steel in the engine. The kid who can stand toe-to-toe with Caicedo and still have gas left to run the show—that’s the one worth pulling the trigger on, not waiting for another club to rip the rug out after six months.
Numbers > vibes.
remember when we were all wetting ourselves over that 18-year-old Porto left-back who'd nutmegged neymar like it was sunday league? turned out his passport said he was actually belgian and his agent forgot to mention the "broken metatarsal" clause. and who can forget the brummie lad with the wand of a left foot who was going to solve our defensive problems? ended up getting sent off in his first training match for headbutting the kitman's ankle during a warm-up. sure the kid sounds like a cross between caicedo’s stamina and a wrecking ball but till he’s actually lifting trophies and not just u20 caps with his teammates’ mums watching, i’m keeping my scarf pulled low over my eyes like always 😉
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
