I think (and hope) this Scarpa chap will surprise alot of people. He might need 3 or 4 games to catch up but I'm quite confident he'll be good signing for us. Its just another option which can only be a good thing for the team.

Yes, but can he do it on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke?

Oi! When are we playing Stoke then!? None of this relegation talk please.

Maybe he can do it on a cold Tuesday night at Anfield though?

I have a strange feeling that we are gonna love this guy but the proof will be in the pudding of course.

Looks like Mangala will get his big chance now with things not looking too good for Kouyate.

He is either going to be absolutely brilliant or a disaster isnt he. Dont think it will be in the middle somehow.

If he is out of contract assume this is a perm? Short term contract? End of season or 2 years?

3.5 years. Just confirmed.

Scarpa played alongside Richarlison at Fluminense and many thought that Scarpa was the better player of the two at the time.

The proof will be in the pudding of course but I can't help feel a little bit excited by this lad.

Im the same. I guess Im always sceptical because these slightly left field signings never seem to work for us. But I accept in terms of what he has achieved and is clearly capable of he is different gravy.
Only question mark for me is that he is 28 and hasn’t already been snapped up by a European club.
Hoping for big things anyway, definitely worth the gamble for me.
