Called up to Brazil’s squad by Ancelotti.

Hearty congratulations Viti.

[boatshed bill]

I liked him, great effort and a good ball-carrier at considerable speed.
Incidentally, have we been paid yet?

[Goalposts]

Yep and botafogo still owe us the transfer fee, Have him back in a heartbeat..

[Pearcey]

I seem to recall that was the reason he wanted to go back. Delighted he’s achieved it.

[CoolClaret]

Brilliant news. Well done Vitinho!

[ralph8]

Lovely- now het his agent our liabilities and and who knows - the sky could be his limits.

[ralph8]

get pay

[HuncoatClaret]

The Brazilian team can't be what they use to be.

[Pearcey]

The Brazilian team can't be what they use to be.

Hasn’t been great for a while now. Cafu to Vitinho!

[BurnleyFC]

Brilliant for him.

[Walton]

Chuffed for him, gave his all for us

[Enola Gay]

Mission accomplished. Nice one.

[Wokingclaret]

Well well well!

[Murger]

Can’t see his name on any squad.

[Cirrus_Minor]

Wow. I don't know whether this outlines Vitinhos improvement or Brazils demise. Maybe a bit of both

[Vegas Claret]

Yep and botafogo still owe us the transfer fee, Have him back in a heartbeat..

that was the story ages ago, we don't actually know if that's been sorted by now

[Commy]

As we complained to FIFA they should have given us the money from their World Club earnings.

[fidelcastro]

It must be a very late call up because he certainly wasn't in the original squad.

[MrEyres]

Really good player for us and was/is a massive miss.
The one player VK got right, had attitude, ability and loyalty.

Questioning a South American player wanting to make the move he did is bonkers. It isn’t his fault they’re skint.

Hope he goes to the very top .

I must've been watching a different player.

At PL level I thought he was garbage and I don't think we miss him in the slightest.

You obviously was watching a different player and everyone was “garbage” in that PL season.

I wasn’t a fan of VK, a few months after the great season he gave us but to say that Vitinho was the one player he got right, is a bit of a stretch.

Must admit though, despite him not being the best, he was probably the one that I was most disappointed to see leave, around the time of the exodus. He was limited but committed - good on him if he’s achieved his aim

[willsclarets]

I really like the guy, but I have to say I'm suprised he's made a Brazil squad! That said Henderson has just made England's I suppose.

[FeedTheArf]

Hopefully there was add ons for international call ups / appearances in the deal.

[BleedingClaret]

Might be but will they pay it?

[FeedTheArf]

Might be but will they pay it?

They’ll have to eventually. FIFA will make sure of it.

[fidelcastro]

You agree with me then.

[jrgbfc]

Whether you rated him or not he was one of the only players who showed some balls and didn't give up in the VK disaster season.

[Conroy92]

I actually think he's a very underrated player by some on here.

Took him a little bit to adapt but once he had he was probably the most improved player in the squad.

[Culmclaret]

The view of him may have been affected by the expectations people have of Brazilian players. He was a an extremely competent, versatile and hard working player for us. No bells and whistles but a fine player nevertheless. I was sorry when he went and I am sure he would have had a very good season playing under SP.
