At 21, he really could be the best Brazilian defender around in a few years.

He reminds me of John Stones at that age.

Go on then, who reckons he'll end up better than Murillo?*

Just from MOTD, his shot that was just too high was hit with the same power Murillo gets.

Hit that on the half volley, was willing that one into the net.
Carry on like he is right now would be great but I think once we fine tune the system we will see a better version, other players too.

I don't think there is a single aspect of his game that is poor, he is consistently good at everything.
He dealt with constant difficult switches of player from Spurs that were just over his head whilst running backwards which is probably the hardest balls to deal with.
The more you see of him the better he gets, I don't see a world where he isn't a starter by the end of the season, he is too good.

If he doesn't have the injury issues that Murillo seems to be having, then, yes. As Notcher said, theres something of a young John Stones about him.

Great bit of business for him and Jesus for a combined £20m or so and a bag of balls.
Lad is probably worth £40m+ on his own now.

I've no doubt whatsoever that Murillo will get back to being the great player we know he is once his fitness issues have been sorted. As for his international experience, he wasn't helped by being chucked into a particularly poor Brazil side in a highly-charged game against their biggest rivals, Argentina, who in contrast, were a very good side at that time. Hopefully, Jair won't be expected to sink-or-swim in the same way.
I look forward to the pair eventually forming Brazil's central defense whilst still playing for us.
I love a defender, and I love this young man.

What an incredible notion this would have been 20 years ago
Entirely selfishly, working for a large German conglomerate who has a significant presence in Brasil, and as someone who - on a weekly basis - enjoys plenty of football-related banter with my Brasilian colleagues, I would die a happy man if this happened.
Two Forest Men at the back for the Canarinho? You can inject that right into my veins.

I'm not willing this to happen as I love the Serb nutjob but unless his form improves we may even see Cunha stepping into the centre with Diomande and Murillo either side

Best quartet of Centre Backs in the league! Couldn't name a team with better.
