Interesting, have we ever had any South Americans play for Rovers before? I don't think we have.

Denis Souza, the worst Brazilian footballer there has ever been.

[RoversAlias]

I hope he's a world-beater. But I've never heard of him and there isn't much to glean from a quick search online.

[roversdude]

The only Brazilian ever that couldn’t play football

[mushRTID]

First loan, I thought we were avoiding that.
Obviously judge him when we see him, but it feels like the most underwhelming day ever.

[normal rules]

Well well well. Same parent club as coppinger. Pretty much same age as copps when he joined us too. Same position.
That’s where the comparison probably ends before anyone jumps down my throat at trying to make a comparison.

[Chris Black come back]

Must be delighted to get out of Newcastle.

[EasyforDennis]

Didn't we have s Brazilian from Everton?

Matteoni? I think he was Brazilian but Italian. Something like that.

[scawsby steve]

What a signing.

Wow, caddie, stand back.

[Alan Southstand]

Who’s he going to cross to?

[Filo]

Yes a full back can’t remember his name, good player then got injured

[colincramb]

If this is all we sign we are in big trouble

[jamesrover17]

Wants to get his Newcastle tracksuit off before training tomorrow…

It must be the first Peruvian to play for the rovers.

“Comments made when transferred to newcastle.

Rodrigo Vilca is a 21-year-old attacking midfielder who is comfortable playing as a 10 or 8 or even as a LW. Lived in Spain for 8 years, his family moved when he was 3 and returned to Perú at 11, meaning he has a Spanish passport.

“His strengths as a player is that he loves to be involved in the game, right in the middle of all the action. His passing percentage is at a 78.4% and the only reason it’s not higher is because as a 10 he tries breaking lines and passing through balls to his forwards and wingers. His dribbling is great and has been averaging close 3 successful dribbles per game. Because of him wanting to be involved in all the attacks he gets fouled a lot, averaging 3.57 fouls per game.

“Another great thing about Vilca is that he’s not afraid to shoot, will always try a shot if he has an opening. Defensively he’s great at pressuring, averaging 4.33 steals off pressuring his opponents.

“His weaknesses as a player is his physique, although he’s good at retaining the ball, he can be fouled out of a game. What I mean is, if an opponent keeps fouling him, he will not get into his game and will not offer the best he’s got.“

Panick loan it appears, hope he proves me wrong but he will have been cheap or maybe a free underwhelmed by this loan.

[PDX_Rover]

The negativity already is childish.

[normal rules]

I welcome him to our club. Young South American.May bring a certain flair to our game. It’s another player to pull the shirt on, which is a luxury right now.

[Filo]

Is he from deepest darkest Peru, and does he like marmalade?

[elmsallrover]

22 years old and never been near the first team at Newcastle

[5 on Tour]

Might as well send him back. The forum has decided he has no chance.

[RobTheRover]

You making the sarnies, Dave?

And if he was a Newcastle first teamer, what chances do you think we'd have of loaning him?...

You’ll not be saying that if he’s worst than Simoes

[Pside]

His middle name is Gary. Might be a positive

I’m just wondering if we’ve signed Jeremy Clarkson lol!

Is that the Gary in the Trotters flat in only fools and Horses?
