cambridgeshire canary 7,800 Posted April 13 For those who have not seen it and for those who have beacause it's a thing of beauty. First you get the Preston defender behind him deciding to do his best superman impression, then Sara sends another defender to sleep before just pinging the ball right into the side of the net. Lovely stuff 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deptford Yellow 295 Posted April 13 Who made the pass to Sara ? Not the obvious pass, and made with precision… (from what can see on my iPhone screen) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 7,377 Posted April 13 Keeper definitely got caught in two minds on that. He's even raised the heel on his right foot as Sara shoots so you'd think he'd be able to move it across to block, but he's half gone down instead and realised too late.

My wonder is he wasn't expecting the shot across and was expecting the cut back so didn't want to commit. 🤷 2 minutes ago, Hucks6 said: Who gives a monkey what the keeper does 1. Preston fans I'd guess 2. Those of us who played in goal and like to watch what the professionals do... Even while basking in a win 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ward 3 484 Posted April 13 The guys unreal!! Would love to see him here for so much longer than the end of this season but don't see it personally. But wow he has been instrumental!! Was watching Leicester last night and my word did sky **** their pants over dewsbury Hall saying pots in the whole league. Maybe they need to look at gabby!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,261 Posted April 13 He's been unbelievable since moving to the right. He's too good for this division in any position he plays in but I really like him where he's playing right now. We were warned when he signed that he wasn't the Buendia replacement and that he was more of a deep lying midfielder but with his stats this season and how he's been performing on the right he's been every bit as good as Buendia was. Buendia was amazing but he also had the perfect striker for him infront of him, Sara just does it himself. If we don't go up and he gets sold I'd be really disappointed with anything less than 30m. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that is the side (right), he played his best for Sao Paulo. He has been asked to play so many roles and you can see this is where he is at his VERY best. Great honest down to earth player , who could be integrated in any Premier side. Great command of the English language. WELL done Gabi , I knew you would be a star . Personally at today's rate it must be heading to 40m. Imagine him laying off balls to haaland and then scoring ones like he did today. Surrounded with better players , the sky is the limit for him. 45m .No chance him being here next season ,sorry guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even earlier this week could have cost us dearly if we’d lost today. But I now believe we are there. And huge credit to Wagner and the players if indeed it does happen. I’ve said before I’d say I was wrong if it does. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobJames 922 Posted April 13 I am not so sure he will be off - either way it will be his decision, not ours I cannot see any PL club offering an unproven player (at that level) anymore. We have brought in players with potential. You cannot do that in the PL. Players need to be up to speed on day one. And for those worried, he is signed to June 2026 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And for those worried, he is signed to June 2026 What level are you talking about, premier league level. Unproven where here or Brazil. Just for the record. Premier League clubs have signed six players directly from Brazil this season. Chelsea signed Andrey Santos from Vasco de Gama and West Ham United brought in Luizao from Sao Paulo this winter. Willian joined Fulham from Corinthians in the summer, and Marquinhos moved from Sao Paulo to Arsenal. Newcastle United are also reportedly looking to sign Matheus Franca from Flamengo and Wolverhampton Wanderers have been pushing for his teammate Joao Gomes. And it's a huge market. And for the mountaineering fans , many sides had their fingers in the pie long before Norwich. It used to be brazilian players usually went yo Ukraine then moved on.
