Our new signing, Bebe, is currently with the Portugal U-21 squad and has impressed in training.
Jorge Paxaio, Bebe’s coach at former club Estrela, has spoken very fondly of our new player, although is wary of what effect his rags to riches background may have.
‘Manchester United are getting a truly remarkable kid,” he said. “Remember that until he was 16 he was just playing with his friends. He has developed incredibly quickly. The first time he plays for United — and I am sure he will make it there — people will notice him because he is different. He has skills that not many players in that League have. He is also physically imposing. He will be like Ronaldo in that point of view. But you will have to wait for him to be ready. I don’t just mean in football terms, but mentally. One day he had nothing and then the next day he had everything. That will be a shock to him, even if he hasn’t realised it yet. He was living in the shelter every day he was with us. He travelled in by public transport. He was like a child in that way.”
His former agent, Goncalo Reis, has also been singing his praises, claiming that he will one day surpass Nani, who is acting as the player’s minder.
“I know the qualities of Bebe and one day he will jump into the first team,” he said. “It won’t be easy but he will get his space. He will not be as good as Ronaldo but will be better than Nani. Somewhere in between. But he will be humble and he will learn. He will be like a little boy with Ferguson. He will just wait for the orders. Then, one day, he will explode on the field.”

Its result of ole and fergie’s good baby sitting for bebe at carrington.
Bebe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if things he said is true than i have no worries…hey,actually..i don have any worries regarding him coz he is raw material and will turn into finished product under Sir Alex
Hope he is right! And I hope our fans are very patient with him. Bebe hasn’t ad the experiences that a usual 20 year old United player does.
He is gonna be some player in that case if he is going to be better than Nani. Strong praise and predictions indeed. Good luck.Nice goals in the training session also.
Maybe the haircut has helped.Samson like move.
We should be positive.Bebe would be even better than ronaldo.
So he thinks he’ll be better than Nani? Nani is probably Portugal’s second best player and one of our best… let’s hope the guy is right!
Nani and Bebe are both going to be better than Ronaldo
That is if they don’t start having peculiar fucking dreams about you know who : )
Phew, better than Nani. The way Nani has improved just since the turn of the year is incredible. Personally I have a feeling about Bebe. The kind of life he has led will give him plenty of mental strength. It surely must have been some arguement from the scout who found him to get Fergie to sign a player he has never seen.
@troy
its the word from carlos quiroz that made fergie go ahead with bebe’s signing
its no big deal jst some training ground trickery i cn do that in my back aswell… Th question is can he deliver on the big stage?.. And 20 we surely cant call bebe raw matirial if u compare to what ronnie and wazza did at 20 i think fergie is really nervous with what he has brought to oldtraffold.. Ok yes bebe has got a lot of potential bt the premier league this days is nt all about talent its as much mental warfare and i fear for bebe..
why are the press juming on this band waggon for 7 million quid you could get less than a 1/4 of Robiniho or a 1/3rd of Jo from the bitters and they’re both shite, plus just 7 mths wages for Yaya Torre who’s also shite.
If he’s shit at 7mil got to be worth a punt.
better that he “be like a little boy with Ferguson” than with Wenger right?
Cant wait to watch hm against Cleverley n Welbeck tommoro.Anyone got clue wat station d game wll b on n time? God bless Man.United!
I hope it’s the Nani of today he’ll be better with and not the Nani of a year or so ago!
nani is my favourite player there is nowway he is better than nani. are you high coke toinght are you jiust borded as there is nothing on the web. i have feeling bebe will last one year and half like mancheo. i hope i am wrong.
anyone know any website will have live tomorrow u21 game ?please
reports from portgual carlos on the brink of getting sacked. would anyone want him back i take him any day over phelean
Nani is my fav player if bebe will be better than him. That means both will be better than ronaldo, b/c i believe nani is going to be better than ronaldo. I have never doubted fergie nor his scout. Man utd till the end of time.
The lad just needs time to adjust to England, he’s at the best club to do that.
After reading that whole article about Bebe’s background, I am officially his number 1 supporter. If this guy doesn’t make it big, and this doesn’t turn into a movie, I’ll be very disappointed. The stars are right!
It’s plainly obvious that Nani has something very speical, Sir Alex saw it and wasn’t willing to let him leave even when it seemed the end of the road was near for hs career here. And now Sr Alex and the club are reaping the rewards. He’s becoming that speical player we all knew he could be.
In my opinion, Nani – like Ronaldo, Giggsy, Scholesy, ect – has something about him that makes him different, a spark that other players just don’t have. That little piece of magic that can change a game in the blink of an eye, that spark that gets people up out of their seats with the first touch. Players like that just don’t come along on the side of the road. It’s yet to be seen if Bebe has that spark.
And to be frank, I couldn’t give a monkey’s trumpet if he doesn’t, once he turns out to be a good player – and a team player.
The Mail article on Bebe’s background was a great insightful read. We’ve heard plenty of promising things about his potential, hopefully he’ll turn out to be a great player.
Oops wrong place
Heard he scored a hat-trick in Portugal’s under 21 practise match
and every players were clapping their hands for his skills.
Can be a great player for us
Here’s the article, where he scored a hat-trick
http://www.redforcerising.net/2010/09/02/bebe-scores-hat-trick-in-training-for-portugal-u-21/
Reading Paul McGrath’s autobiography at the minute and can’t help comparing his upbringing and background to what I’ve so far learned about Bebe. Really hope Bebe comes good like McGrath did – alcohol addiction aside lol
Surprised no-one (that I know of) has picked up on this
is it necessary to say he will be better than one we have now, but not better than the best player in the world?
i hope Nani and Bebe both will become better than Cristiano..
surprises me how fickle some of us can be sometimes… one second nani is useless, a few games later he’s our second best player?
i rate him, i like the lad and he’s played well recently, but how many times have we said that in the past only got a string of pitiful performances… once he starts maintaining consistency, that’s when i’ll be happy, he still has a lot of improvement to do.
and i’m surprised how everyone was writing bebe off before he’s even played a game for us… the kid clearly needs time to adjust, lay off him and let fergie and ole deal with it, back our players. i’m sure he could end up being an inspired bit of foresight from the backroom staff, judging by his impressions on people – and he certainly produced the goods for portugal U21′s
I can only wish to Bebe to be much better than Nani in decision-making.
Unfortunately there are too many occasions when Nani is screwing a promising position by making a poorly-calculated move.
Bebe should learn this trade from Scholsye and Berba.
Should this happen Bebe has all the chances to be our next OLEgend.
Haaa.. Nani is one of my favourite and if Bebe can be as good as Nani. That could b good for United.
But let’s dont compare united players. If you want to compare berbatov and cantona, no way we can compare right?
Only time will tell!
I don’t expect to see him play for a few weeks even for the reserves. He might have raw talent however these will need to be refined a little!
If he starts off on the wrong footing, looses confidence or his mind wanders then he will never become what he could have done!
He can be beter dan nani,if he can be himself n lean more 4m giggs,shocles n babatv.ofter some training.Jt like chicharito is doin wit owen n order starz.Den d exprience it ganna high n future wil b BRITH.OK…
Cantona7 @ 23:27: “i hope Nani and Bebe both will become better than Cristiano”
Unlikely – whatever you or I or anyone else thinks about CR7′s personality, it’s hard to dispute his fantastic prowess and complete package of skills. The odds are stacked against him but if this kid, Bebe, can be as good as Nani then I’ll be over-the-moon – and so will SAF. Just imagine – getting Chicharito and Bebe for 15 million ! That would be a coup of monstrous proportions.
