    Well I don't think he's out of form. He probably just wants to leave and is rightfully angry with the club/coach that wants to stop that. Maybe scared to pick up an injury if he would somehow manage to get out of there. We would certainly see a different Rios in the NT.

    His progress is really exceptional. Especially in yellow. Lorenzo doing wonders with him.

    Just worried about his age given late start. He should move in Jan...

    Often when he's playing he looks like a grown man playing with kids. His combo of balance, size, strength ball control and foot speed is a pretty rare combo to have. There were a few times his passing and decision making on passes was not amazing, if he can refine that he's world class. Obviously that's a big jump, but because his skillset is so rare and he's so dominant at it, it doesn't really matter just put him beside guys like James and problem solved as it balances out.

    You can tell the indoor futsal games helped him refined his skill and quickness.

    The thing is most futsal players usually do not have the stamina or energy to play the real sport. Glad he is the rare exception. He can to be a cornerstone for this team's success if he improves and stays healthy.

    Out of all our guys, he's the only guy I see having a huge January/transfer. The guy is too good and would help so many top 5 in Euro with his futbol.

    Brazilians have always been the pioneers of technical dribbling embedded within their culture. Rios with his fustal background and being brought to the country at an early age allowed him to develop his full potential.
