Viana to become a Premiership Great

Newcastle staff insist that Viana will adjust to the English lifestyle and will become a Premiership great. He has not lived up to his £8.5M expectations this season, but he will get better.

Scoring twice in his last two Premiership games and securing Newcastle a place in the Champions League, Viana is in-form at the moment.

When asked about Hugo Viana, Sir Bobby Robson said,

"Hugo is only 20 years of age. He is sublime on the ball and hardly wastes a touch.

"He has got an exceptional pass and he has got a great final ball. Hugo sees a ball that nobody else sees. He can almost thread it through the eye of a needle.

"Hugo is special on free-kicks too and we love him here at the club. We bought a gem of a player. He can only get better. He can be one of the great players of the Premiership in the years ahead. Of that we're confident."
