And I am also thankful to Club Atletico Paranaense, which was part of this journey and where I played for 6 years of my career. Thank you Chelsea for trusting in me, I will do my best to support my team on reaching new achievements. WE ARE ALL BLUE."

Just like sharpe I didn't saw this player in action and I won't talk about his quality in the game but I will talk about Chelsea and how great organization are they and this is great tactic for future because signing young players can't be mistake. I think that Chelsea will have bright future.

He is Brazil under 20 international player so that too speaks of his talent. Not many players could reject the bid from Chelsea so I suppose he will be their player if they really want him.

I think that we still don't know is it good or bad move and we should wait first to see will they buy this player and later will he be good or bad. We saw that Real Madrid so far is not happy with that Edegard kid from Norway and this could be the same mistake. So I will wait before I said anything for this transfer.

Politics of Chelsea management is that they bring the best young players and forward them to the clubs that are affiliated with them. Nathan is a great young player, and if he develops in the right way can become a top player. For start, it would be best for him to go somewhere on loan, for example Vitesse. The Dutch league...

Nathan is a great young player, and if he develops in the right way can become a top player. For start, it would be best for him to go somewhere on loan, for example Vitesse. The Dutch league would suit him to improve his game and physical strength.

I must confess that I've never heard of this player before. And also I totally agree with Alexa, that there is not very big risk in this deal for Chelsea, he is very young and also his price is "nothing" for them. I believe that he will be on loan some time in other clubs in England, and maybe some day we will see him in...

Nathan is one of the most talented players now in Brazil and I think that Chelsea making great move buying him. He is still very very young and you can't tell for sure will he be the big star but he have good chances for that. So I think that people from Chelsea are very smart and this will be great transfer for them....
