Ex-Leeds central midfielder. 20 years old, plays for Guinea.

On trial...played today. Spent pre-season with Donny, apparently McCann wanted to sign him but it didn't happen. Looks like he is a defensive midfielder, sits in front of the back four, breaks up play and picks a pass. Not the tallest, but could be our Kante ;)

His twin Brother just signed for Sampdoria from Leeds for big money...

Another inexperienced, diminutive midfielder - just what we were all calling for.

Anyone at the game care to comment on how he played? Or if anyone looked like they deserve a place in the squad for Saturday?

He was very tidy on the ball,excellent first touch and rather vocal with those around him.hard to make a complete judgment on what I saw today but like all the young lads he deserves to be appraised on merit and not dismissed as a prospect just because he isn’t the immediate Fix we need in the first team

Unlucky to be booked because the ref had let worse fouls go without a card previously, maybe the card was a reason for him being subbed. Seemed to have a decent touch and got involved, but it's impossible to make any real judgements due to not knowing the strength of the opposition. Purely based on physical appearance, I'd say the average age of the Wigan squad looked a year or so older than ours, so I think we competed well in the circumstances.

So, in summary, he's the new Dave Smith. And I mean the 70s version, not the winger.

We need someone who can add a physical presence to our gutless midfield, not another diminutive has been.

You do realise this thread is about Romario Viera?

How can a 20 year old be described as a "has been"?

His career ended after a failed trial at Doncaster....Also, We have enough players of our own who could do a job in the circus without adding to...

Can’t believe I’m wasting my time replying to this, but you really are the biggest clown on here. And that takes some doing.

I tend to think you have a point. Why not give Declan Dunn and Alex Howes a chance?

Give them a chance - are you kidding? Now? You give inexperienced kids like that a chance when you can afford to lose, not when you are struggling for every point. What happens if they aren't ready? Not great idea to put them amongst a dejected team of losers.

They won't get in before Patching / Crawford at a guess but I can see what McCulloch is saying about giving your own players a chance.

I mean if they can't get close to a game now then they never will do, its one of the reasons some of our young talent are going to Germany to get some games as our clubs just don't give young players a chance.

I think the old school way of a mix of both youth and experience is what is needed but Nolan has left us in a mess that is why we are looking at all the dregs that are free agents.

Yes, this lad could be a good prospect but he's not the experienced mercenary we need right now. Hardy says he has learnt but we appear to keep making the same mistakes over and over again.

Does he? I'm sure he is aware that we need several first team players but that doesn't mean that everything else at the club stops until we get them. If a scout recommends a younger player with potential, he can't turn them down just because some fans are a bit hysterical at the minute.

Who knows? He may well be one for the future, but what we need to do now is concentrate on getting a few points on the board. Kewellio himself says we need a couple of players in, that surely? is our main concern. Doesn't seem to be much happening on that front, tho does there?

So why not give Howes, Dunn and Kennedy Williams a chance then? Are they not ONES for the future?

Well, now you mention it I guess I don’t really...but who does? I can at least respect most opinions, but your unsubstantiated negativity on pretty much every thread just does my fruit in.

You don’t even seem to have even properly read the original post on this topic before replying...hence my clown comment.
