Flip Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Viana was class in the under 21 tournament prior to signing for us and looked a world beater. I was so excited when we signed him. I really liked him as a player. You could see he had real quality, a great touch and vision to go along with it. Just a shame he was tectonically slow otherwise I think he would have been excellent for us. As things were he just couldn't keep up with the pace of the game here. I watched that tournament... Viana was decent but you could tell the rest of the team were doing his running for him... He was never at any stage looked like a world beater... Nice left foot but couldn't see how he would fit into our team at the time or our league... And so it proved... It's one of footballs myths that he was exceptional in that tournament... Yeah?...How did that feel?...I mean...Didn't he as the guy above said win the European young player of the year or something?...Viana could've definitely been a class player... He did... But not all awards are deserved... Could've... Should've... Would've... Didn't... Hasn't... Won't... He's never scaled the heights... You'll struggle to google the history of EYP award winners... It's no great guideline for sure if Viana is anything to go by... I don't even know what I posted, I just thought in trying to copy you. Never seen so many dots in my life.

Village Idiot Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Isn't this Young Player of the Year thing a bit of a misleading thing anyway given that their isn't an official award? Had a butchers and the only things I can find are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Boy_(award) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bravo_Award Very little wrong in the choices of both these two, tbf.

aussiemag Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Not the first time Chelsea have had a player out on loan for 3 years (Alex at PSV). That was weird. Wasn't a loan, but the contract said that Chelsea could sign him at any time for 1 pound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
