Gabigol...such a kindergarten nickname
Welcome and Happy Birthday![]()
Welcome to Inter Gabriel Barbosa.
I like his nickname because he reminds me the great Batigol but he needs to earn it. Until then he'll be Barbosa to me.
I hope he adapts to Italy and Italian football really fast.
And Happy Birthday!
GABIGOL lol our new ten. So thankful I didnt buy a Jovetic Jersey.
Happy Birthday, Kid!![]()
To be fair, he has already said he prefers to be called Gabriel, and that Gabigol started as a joke from his friends.

Good thing it says "Gabriel B." on the jersey.
What a signing. Welcome and hope you can bring us back to the top!
FORZA INTER TILL I DIE! Mi chiamo Salvatore.
Welcome! I hope he develops past Icardi.
Welcome! Hope he gets actual minutes and not just garbage time

Welcome and good luck!
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Barbosa would have been so perfect on the jersey.
He has that superstar vibe, but he sucks from those youtube clips. The dude might be good, but we are overcrowding our already strong positions, and yet, nagashit will wear our jersey.
At least sell eder now, cant stand that selfish prick. Make barbosa sub to Candreva, and let the guy adapt nicely. Either way, my expectations are 4 out of 10.
The dude might be a slightly overall better player than biabia, but slower.
but cant emphasis enough how tragic he looks on his youtube vids.
Guacamole
I don't have a problem with him being called Gabigol nor getting the no. 10 jersey. Both of these could be great for marketing.
A 19 yr old promising Brasilian forward who just won the gold medal in Olympics (this is the first time Brazil wins gold in Olympics), was bought for 28 million Euro by Inter, is nicknamed Gabigol and is going to wear the No.10 shirt.
Come on! Don't tell me this isn't going to look good marketing-wise! It will certainly attract the fans or at least make them curious to watch Inter. Just go back 10, 20 years ago when you were a kid and tell me that reading about Gabigol wouldn't be exciting!
It's only good marketing if he's any good. Not saying he's not, as I've never seen him play, but no amount of nicknames and shirt numbers will do any good if he's a Schelotto on the pitch.
