Brazilian Emile Heskey? That should be a super striker. Skills of the typical Brazilian forward allied with Heskey's strength and aggression.

I want a Brazilian Heskey.

I find it unlikely that he'll be in England for any reason other than negotiating a deal with a club here.

The press all over the world (Europe, SA) are reporting that we have re-entered into negotiations for Leandro so it would make sense.

The agent basically has one star player right now who's potentially up for sale and that is Leandro.

Let's think about this. If he has only one big client (not sure that's true, but assume it is), and that one big client is playing in the semi-finals of the Olympics, you don't see any possible reason other than negotiating a deal with a club in the country where his client is playing in said semi-final for him to be in that country? Really? And my post was dumb? Rude, sure. But not dumb.

He only has one big client who is for sale at the moment, it helps when you read my post properly.

I don't see why his agent would be over just to watch him play in the Olympics, he has other clients and other transfer deals going on i would imagine and it doesn't make a lot of sense for him to come over to London just to watch him at the Olympics.

Add that to the ITK and media comments on us trying to sign Leandro again and it all seems to add up for me, of course i may well be wrong.

As for the dumb rating - well there isn't a 'twat post' rating so i went with dumb, if you had just replied with the above to start with then we could've had a sensible and thought out discussion on the topic.

Fair enough (and bless you for using "could've" instead of "could of";))

The firm he works for is co-owned by a UK company. It is very possible that he has followed his top client, who is likely to be sold in the next few seasons for big money, to a major event for both that player and his country. It's also very possible that he did so at the invitation of said UK company, therefore getting an amazing opportunity to be treated like a VIP at the world's largest sporting event while strengthening his relationship with his client.

I would LOVE for him to be in the UK to negotiate a deal for Leandro, but there isn't enough known at this point to say that's the only reason he could be there.

Leandro wins the gold medal, at the party afterward an addidas rep talks to him.
- great game, I want to talk to you about an advert for our new trainers. Where's your agent.
- Brazil.
- Brazil? You have reps for companies all around the world here to make deals, and he's in brazil?
- yes.
- I tell you what meet my friend Eric.

The brazilian heskey has scored again, :cautious: *Im starting to think him scoring these goals means he's not like Heskey

Not been in the game vs Korea at all then one shot, goal. That's the kind of striking we could use. Clinical

His price and interest will be growing with every goal he scores. I was kind of hoping Brazil went out tonight...

He's been fantastic in this tournament. Really really hope this can go through, he'd do quite a job for us.

i have watched closely damiao since we signed sandro. this is the typical damiao. he s a natural goalscorer. a predator in the box. tonight his value has gone up again and is drawing more attention to him.
