This bloke on Twitter has a thread from a Sao Paulo fan who loves him. 

Says he's a box to box midfielder who's got a great engine. Exciting if even a bit true

Only thing that now concerns me slightly from those comments is just how good the operation on him was, might be he may need more work at some point.

I always recall that first title winning team having McLean as a starter later in the season. Maybe with a quarter of the season to go.

I remember him at the den missing a number of decent opportunities to put Pukki through on go and he over hit them.

He is part of the squad but not a player we should be wanting to start if we go up or even with these new midfielders coming in. Squad player I hope.

Yes he got into the team later on, in 15 starts getting 3 goals and 6 assists, a fantastic return from a central midfielder, responsible for 9 goals in 15 games from midfield in the crunch time of a season.

Suggests no issues with the medical if he's already been togged up in yellow.

I agree that is a decent return and much better than his performances have shown. He has been part of a miraculous period of our history and I hope we can continue by raising our standards higher and having McLean as squad players to support those better players.

Some of his highlights showed a strong player, close control and an eagerness to shoot, which at sometimes we very much needed.

2nd signing is good, let's keep it going

The chances of him having the same tattoos as Omobamidele, too?!  Unbelievable!

They're going to lose their **** when they see each other in the changing room.

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

To be honest, if the hype about him and Hayden is correct then we may well be on to something.

Its no good worrying about defence, it would be difficult to better it without spending the entire budget.

If Teemu, Rashica are staying then I think we have the firepower. And maybe its just a hunch but I am optimistic for PLM to do well. With Todd back in the fold, happy and in form, then we have the makings to challenge.

Good spot 🤣, just berated my mate and he's a Sao Paulo fan 🙄, in fact I've just looked on the FB page he shared (SPFC Tabelando) and none of the Brazilians posting there have clicked it's not him either 🤣....... (if Google translate is to be trusted)

That's definitely not an official club image, all of our graphics recently have had our fancy new font (which isn't the one used on that image).Its somebody who is good at photoshop overlaying a Norwich City shirt on an existing image.

Ouch TVB. I'd probably care if it came from someone other than this forum's version of Oscar the grouch.

Que Sara definitely the chant. Lots of possible variations.

Will this be our first ever Brazilian player or am I forgetting somebody obvious?

Indeed, although the Kaka reference maybe needs amending because he was right-footed.

One for the pedants out there- not my work, Bethnal YG on twitter- Paul Hughes, who played on loan for us in 1999 and scored against Swindon, qualified for Brazil through his mother.

Best highlights I've seen of Sara here - looks much better than in the other vids I've watched:

His heading ability looks top notch.

Well they would be best highlights if they're just showing his goals, other vids of him  are much more balanced and realistic, showing  his shots missing etc, but what that highlights is he's always up for taking a crack. Also gives a pinch of his energy and his box to box movement, he does seem to be an energetic workhorse.

[horsefly 4,298]

Wouldn't want to curse by claiming he is the next Buendia, but he certainly shows a very similar ability to turn an opponent and surge forward on the attack. Something we have very much missed.
