Hey guys, just registered here to give you some Cambuur-perspective on Joao Virginia.
So far, pretty impressed. From the start you could tell Joao is a talented goalkeeper; athletic and (mentally) quick. In his first matches with us though he's had some great saves as well as some howlers, costing us some very expensive points (we'd do well to stay up this year).
It seems as though he's turned a page in the last couple of matches, ignore the 5-1 beatdown we had a few weeks ago though; we ended that match with nine men and lacking a coach. Anyway, Joao's really turned up lately; keeping a clean sheet in the last two matches (three total this season). The national press here seems to have noticed as well. The main reason I signed up here (because I figured this would fly under your collective radar) is Joao Virginia's been selected for the team of the week in basically all major media; Telegraaf, Algemeen Dagblad, ESPN and Voetbal International.
So far, and I can't speak for all of our supporters, but most of us are very happy with this loan transfer and it's obvious Joao himself is already growing as a result of his temporary stay with us. Cheers!
