As redemption arcs go, it's a stormer like. Doesn't seem to be slowing down either. From failed CF, converted over time to goal scoring destroyer, CL football from the brink of relegation and now in the Brazil squad. Oh and the wife's pregnant. Canny busy 18 months like.

Just seen this! Amazing man!

 

What a phenomenal turn around. Wow!

 

It's great to see people appreciating there's actually a good footballer there apart from his other myriad qualities. It always starts with the ability on the ball.

Bet Bruno is delighted for him. Always hoped he’d breakthrough at some point. Will be a massive buzz them travelling together. When he comes back as a full international he’ll be 2 feet taller.

Best time for him to be called up - it validates his whole approach this season. That he's kept doing it his way, playing that destroyer role while adding goals to his game as well., has got him there.

 

If he wasn't going to get a call up after a season like that, it might have put nagging doubts in his head about trying to change his game to get into the squad. Instead, Brazil are thinking differently and changing their approach by bringing in Joelinton.

 

Well done Big Joe, you deserve every success and accolade that comes your way.

At points this season, I am thinking as a fan, I am glad he is on our team especially when he is on beast mode, which seems to be every game.

 

I always remembered that interview against Norwich when the reporter said, 'We knew you were good, we didn't know you were that good'. He got slaughtered for saying it but we were all thinking the same thing. 

 

Alongside Sean Longstaff saying that he was the player you wanted on team in training. Now we get it!  This is the biggest redemption arc we will surely see as a player at the toon. He fully deserves his call up. 

 

In addition to everything, he also has to prepare a best man speech for Bruno's wedding, assuming that is a thing at Brazilian weddings.
