I still can't quite believe that we sing "Just like Brazil" and we have Brazilians in our side!
How times change.

I can't believe that none of them are currently in the WC squad!

Agree, but kind of happy with that as far as Jesus is concerned anyway, needs a summer of rest.

I just hope Ancelotti doesn't tell them they need to move to a "big" club before he considers selecting any of them.

I could see him moving back to Brazil for a fairly decent fee in the Summer.

Or Spain unfortunately.

Steve Chettle
Why? He's just getting going here and there's no hint the club wants to sell or the player wants to leave?
Monkman
John Robertson
Yeah, he'd surely be taking a serious pay cut to go back to Brazil. He's well liked here and seems settled. No reason to move on (unless his wife really wants to raise their kid in Brazil I guess).

Can we have another Ay up me duck from Igor please?

Stuart Pearce
Yes-he’s a good player who will probably get better.
A major asset to Forest and we need to keep him.

Fantastic forward, dripping with passion.

He's the one to watch next season. With a full pre-season and some actual time off after playing for two years straight, not to mention a year of adapting to the PL, he's going to be twice the player. And he's been tidy in his debut season.

Obviously not a goalscoring striker, though he is a striker and has scored some goals.
Since Woody came back and they have been paired, things have, in the main, gone well so I expect the staff to work on that basis over the Summer.
Looking forward to seeing him next year in a more relaxed season. I know the Prem is not a relaxed environment, but this last week has shown just how tough and hectic it can be.

Very decent and valuable squad player.

He has played 50 games for us and he arrived more or less straight from the Club World Cup and before that the Brazilian league and before that the Saudi league, he's not had a proper holiday for years. Let's give him a month on the beach in Brazil now and he will come back even better next season.

Bob McKinlay
He has played 134 games since the start of 2024, and 80 since the start of 2025!
He must be knackered, especially based on the way he plays.
I am sure he will want to go to the World Cup but it would probably do him well if he doesn't!

Jack Armstrong
The Brazilian league is relentless. They play so much football and the off season isn't even that long if I remember correctly. He's due a well earned rest at the end of the season.

Jack Armstrong
He's in Brazil's preliminary list of players sent to FIFA for the world cup. Along with 54 others so probably doesn't mean much at this stage! John Victor and Murillo also on the list.

Agree with this. I think he's done remarkably well in his debut season in the Premier League under very difficult circumstances. He will have learned a lot and we'll see an even better Jesus next season. One thing you cannot deny is his work rate and attitude, which goes a long way for me. Looking forward to seeing how he progresses.

Yeah but with no European matches next season I can see that's why he'd maybe want a move to a higher profile club unfortunately.
