I put early on this thread after the obligatory YouTube video that he reminded me of a smaller, slighter Arnie. 4 games in and I’m convinced he’s regen Arnie. Mate completely agree!!!! The first player we've had since Bojan left who gets the fans on the edge of their seat. He's gonna be an absolute star, serious ability. I know he's different to Arnie in lots of ways but there is a similarity as well. What a guy. Andre Vidigal, Vidigal... 🎶🎶 ☺️

Aside from looking pacey, creative and talented with a great eye for goal, I noticed a couple of times today how he has a knack of being able to adjust his pace in that he can lengthen his stride if its a 50/50 chase for a ball for eg. I think this lends himself to either getting a shot off early in the danger area or could lead to him being brought down and winning us a penalty. Not sure if anyone else has noticed this trait about him, & could perhaps explain it better, but the way he can adjust his pace in such a way does seem a very useful quality to what is clearly already, a very good player we've managed to aquire. You made me think of Messi, as if you were talking about adjusting pace with the ball, then Messi's the best at that. A great start for Vidigal - hopefully he can sustain it through most of the season.

His control for that goal was amazing. Great signing for the fans, some player. And a reminder: Andre Vidigal 500k Ince/Afobe/Vokes 10,000,000 🙈 Even more amazing when he wasn’t expecting to receive the ball, I think he was expecting Wesley to win it. He wouldn’t have received it if Wesley wasn’t holding the defender off like an Ox stopping him from coming and winning it. Wesley’s role in that goal is not to be underestimated.

Felt like he drifted in and out of the game. That said, the only time anything good happened was when he was involved. Looks like he’ll be a big player for us this season.

Absolutely love this guy. How refreshing to see a player in a Stoke shirt loving every minute and banging in the goals. 🙏🏻

Reading some of the older comments on this thread gave me a laugh or two. In terms of writing a player off before he’s kicked a ball?

He has now, at the time of writing he was about a 1 in 6 His current club record is 1 in just over 5. Hopefully his record with us will continue.

He’s started so well that I’m concerned he’s not going to be with us for very long!

Typical Stoke fans, just enjoy it without worrying about what the future holds. All players come and go, it's the game.

And even if he does leave after 12 months, hopefully he has helped us reach our goals and we make a huge huge profit. Give me this any day over signing the likes of Vokes etc. Big money, big wages and no sell on value. We are a long way off and some signings won’t work but if we start to emulate the Brighton’s and Brentford’s of the world, I will be very happy

Interesting decision for AN when TC is back. Campbell on the right, Wesley down the middle and Vidigal on the left. Top stuff. Fuck that 3 at the back shit off.

Anyone else reminded of Stein? Early days I know but very exciting. Reminds me a little of the brilliant equaliser from Mark Stein against WBA at the Vic (Autoglass Trophy) 1992/93. (3 mins 25 into the goals compilation). The pattern of play leading up to the goal is different and Stein has his back to goal, but the half volley into the corner is similarly top notch…

I absolutely love his confidence, he doesn’t give a shit if something doesn’t come off he just tries it again. We’ve got a good un here I tell ya.

If he carries on like this then the only way he stays is if we go up.
Either that or he does a Portuguese Bangoura impression.
Either way he’s a breath of fresh air. That said, he needs to do it away too….a goal or two at the Den would answer that question.
