Ramires and Paulinho are seen as the future mate. He knows he has to move to get a place for the WC and so on. Brazil is on the cusp of being a world beating team again. Few years down the line and they'll be back.m7mcfc said:Anyone know why he is being overlooked by the national team at the moment?
Like the lad said he needs the exposure of a big league.m7mcfc said:Anyone know why he is being overlooked by the national team at the moment?

He is currently overlooked for Ramires, Hernanes, Sandro and Paulinho as they play in leagues with a much greater reputation than the Ukrainian league.

Of all of Mano’s exclusions, Fernandinho’s is the most baffling. Not because he’s the best player left out of the squad, or because we’re thin at his position. But because he played really well when Mano called him up. And not just after one game either. He was key against Ghana, the man of the match (in my opinion) against Mexico, and stellar against Gabon, Egypt and Bosnia. I really thought he had cemented a place in the side. Then the Olympics rolled around, Mano called up Romulo, and Paulinho after him, and has apparently forgotten all about the dynamic midfielder currently plying his trade in Ukraine. (Also home, it’s worth saying, to the immortal Giuliano.)
That is true but it's more of a development ground for them. How many Brazilians that play in the Ukraine have been called up recently?m7mcfc said:Paulmcfc2703 said:Like the lad said he needs the exposure of a big league.m7mcfc said:Anyone know why he is being overlooked by the national team at the moment?

Thought that that was the case but Shaktar are no smocks and a lot of Brazillian lads ply their trade there.

"Please come to City."
Shakhtar have really gotta give up on trying to retain this man. He is a goner and this tweet just exemplifies it!
He is gonna be ACE with us next season!

He has retweeted a message "please come to City" on his official Twitter page... it doesn't get more point blank clear than that.
Think this will be sorted sooner than we think as this man wants IN on City.
Brazil have a plethora of talent in that area. Gustavo, Lucas Leiva, Arouca, Jean and Casemiro just to name a few more. It will be difficult for him to get in to the World Cup squad.Paulmcfc2703 said:Like the lad said he needs the exposure of a big league.m7mcfc said:Anyone know why he is being overlooked by the national team at the moment?

You just know he'll be super motivated to play hard next year with WC Brazil roster spot in the balance.
He plays in the Ukraine, just saying.lastmanback said:How good is he,
How come he's spend 8 years in Russia,
Why nobody signed him before now.
28 year old,
only the average Brazilian players end up in Russian league.
Jo, Wagner love etc.
Just curious ?

He has never left as he has never wanted to, teams like us, Chelsea, United and Real have all looked at signing him in the past. Players such as Brandao, Elano, Kanchelskis, Shevchenko, Veloso and Eduardo have all played in that league before.
Also, 28 is about the prime of most midfielders (see Alonso, Yaya, Iniesta, Schweinsteiger)
God that looks good. If we do get Cavani, Fernandinho and a top quality wideman there should be no excuses for not seriously challenging in the CL.sam-caddick said:alextheswede said:--------------------HART--------------------
