He's a very good player already and being so young means that he will only improve. Playing him as a defensive midfielder would be restricting him because he's good going forward whether its dribbling or passing. With injuries hurting us a lot, he will play a lot this season.

 

He can be as good as CESC IMO, and hes really showing it.

 

He's good, he's no Fabregas. And it's very unfortunate for him that his preferred position is that of Fabregas.

 

i think he'll b a defensive mid. he'll need 2 work on that aspect of his game but he's already quite good at winning the back still. wenger likes his defensive mids 2 get 4ward ne way so he can still perform a few tricks wen dribblin goin 4ward.

 

He's Cesc's and Gilberto's understudy. He's learning to pass like Cesc and he's also learning howe to defend like Gilberto. In two or three years I see him becoming a good passing Mascherano. Wenger described him as a mix between Gilberto and Rosicky.

 

He certainly looks quality and will get better and better the more he plays.

Nice thread :thumbsup:

 

he will be DM as he doesn't have the invention of Cesc, but boy he can pass 1000 times better than Gilberto and tacle better.

 

A trio of Cesc, Denilson, & Diaby in midfield is what im
hoping for in the future!:lick:

 

he's a good player, showed us what he was capable of in the many carling cup appearances last season. has a lot to learn still.

his passing was a little poor against city though..

 

I saw him againts City when he came on as a sub. Tought he played a nice game.

How many Brazil youth caps does he have

Wouldnt be surprised if he excels before Lucas at Liverpool who seems to be getting no chances at all.

 

No idea of the caps, but he is the U19 Brazil captain.

 

the kids a true gem. already 10 times better than craptista.. at least 10 times better.

He has been called up to the full senior side before. He replaced Gilberto for a friendly against Switzerland but didn't get to play.

I wonder how he'd do in a U-20 or U-21 tournament. Brasil has got many good players in the defensive mid position like Lucas Leiva and Renato and I wonder how Denilson stacks up against them. He didn't get called to the U-20 world cup and I'm wondering if it's because he's in consideration for the full squad or because Brasil wanted to showcase other youngsters there since Denilson is already playing in Europe.

Under Arsene's direction I don't doubt that he's going to be awesome.

 

the kids a true gem. already 10 times better than craptista.. at least 10 times better.

is that supposed to be a compliment? p

 

I heard he has the invention but due to Cesc he doesn't get the chance to play in the so-called playmaker role.

I don't think Wenger bought him only because of his tackling and passing. Infact his passing wasn't at optimum level. His vision might be good but often he gave away passes against City too easily.

 

Anyone remember his games against Bolton away in the FA Cup and Spurs at home in the Carling Cup? He was brilliant in those two games.

Nice find by Wenger, once more.

Spot on. Great observation that :thumbsup:

Has the vision, but not necessarily the passing.

 

I heard he has the invention but due to Cesc he doesn't get the chance to play in the so-called playmaker role.

he's played without Cesc before though, and never just grabbed games like Cesc does, he is less of a personality, more a simple lad.

 

Hes alright. Not as great as people like to make out, sometimes you dont even know hes on the pitch.

Now Flamini on the other hand, christ hes rubbish on the wing but in the gilberto defence spot, i'd rather have Flamini over Denilson any day of the week and the same goes with Alex Song. Flamini hes started the season well, done just as good job Gilberto would have done. He gets stick as Wenger sticks him out wide when got lack of players and hes useless at that. In the middle defence kinda role, box to box, hes turning into a very good player.

maybe thats telling us that we need a damn winger! flamini is more of a DMF than anything else, he is versatile but sticking him on the wing is pretty much useless.

denilson can play CM but i think he has at least 2 years ahead of him before he can start.

the kids a true gem. already 10 times better than craptista.. at least 10 times better.

thats not hard to achieve lol..

 

denilson can play CM but i think he has at least 2 years ahead of him before he can start.

Agreed. Denilson is the sort of player, I think, who'll explode and really step up in his 20s. He's not Cesc, he'll still take time to develop as a player.

 

Zan, Denilson is much better than Flamini though. p

 

flamini has been decent this year though i havnt seen him play better than what he has in these 3 games before.. the guy seems to have improved.. this coming from one of the biggest haters of flamini..
