Still cant believe his age, had all the talent in the world but havent seen him since he left for Brazil. I doubt he will ever get over his injuries.

IF he is reasonably priced & IF he is serious about putting in the hours to be a top, top player, then I would take a punt on him.

He's quick, clever dribbler & he's still at a young enough age to be able to mould him into the type of player we want & need.

Isn't he missing a leg or something really quite important for a footballer? Remember his injury being kinda a big deal when this was first rumoured in the iTK sections a few years back. Guy was mint, if inconsistent, pre-injuries.

Why not, We have an excellent record at signing players with known medical problems and turning them right round after all.

When Poch took over, someone here wrote Sandro and Paulinho would be on their way out, as Brazilian and Argentinian football don't mix. He was right. As such, this won't happen.

Somebody has edited Wikipedia to make us his current club. And it wasn't me. I would like to claim that bit of devilishness, but somebody faster and smarter beat me to it.

His hamstrings are buggered in a similar way to Michael Owen's. Got far too strong too young and they tore themselves apart. I believe that he's re-trained in a way to reduce the problem, but with that comes the loss of the explosive pace that was causing the issue.

Messi and Naymar
Bound to be exceptions to the animosity felt between Argentinians & Brazilians & this may be the best one out there. By all accounts those two are pretty good mates on & off the pitch. Let's be honest they are both brilliant footballers & class acts.

So we conclude it can work :)

Cheers for the info. Shame about the loss of pace but his game wasn't just about that in the way Owen's was. Seems like he might have issues from time to time but meh, what footballer doesn't these days. They're like thoroughbreds. Always a incorrectly batted eyelash away from the blankets and bullet to the head.
