And to the people who tar Brazilians with the same brush as Robinho - then you seem to forget that there has been successful Brazilian players that have played in the Premiership before.

Name me 3 truly exceptional successes!!!!

Exceptional successes will be rare, tbh.

Although I loved watching Gilberto Silva in his pomp for Arsenal. A brilliant DM.

As for present day, there's only Rafael & Ramires who are either proving to be, or could end up being very good PL players for years to come. I'm not convinced with Sideshow Bob.
Sandro and Oscar look good players, Lucas isn't bad either.
Juninho was another "exceptional success"

Fuck me sideways, I completely forgot about Sandro & Oscar. As for Lucas, I'd have Sandro any day.
 
Nah, but he was anonymous against an English side in its home stadium in the dead of winter for an international friendly with teammates that he's not very familiar with. Overrated.

Sarcasm aside, he'd be a massive signing for us, and those here that deny it are severely confused. Even if he flopped like Mario on the pitch, he'd bring us massive attention on the world stage.

That's all that matters, Ibra was shit and overrated for most English fans and football media until he scored hat trick vs England.

Then they suddenly found out there's a guy who won 8 consecutive league titles in 3 different leagues scoring or assisting a goal per game through his whole career.

Oscar has played 25 games - next
Sandro could be but isn't yet 'exceptional'
Juninho was a luxury in the mould of Kinkladze, he was far from 'exceptional'

I'll give you Ramires who is very gifted and consistent, Gilberto as well!
 
Sandro is extremely underrated, it's wrong to consider him anything less than a success IMO. Since joining Spurs he's been linked with Real Madrid and City, he was the most productive holding midfielder in the league before his injury. A fantastic underrated player just as good as De Jong was defensively with far more going forward.

Rafael is also doing well at United despite the obvious hate he gets on here. Ferguson would have sold him if he was useless.

There have been quite a few Brazilian failures here but in the end it's all down to the individual and his mentality, not the nationality. Sylvinho for example had a perfect attitude and had he come to City 10 years earlier when he was part of Arsenal's stunning team, he would have been considered one of our all-time great left-backs.
 
I think he'll end up in spain. Its the easier option for him.

Although if he does come here the off the pitch side of things it would be a huge success but as for on the pitch he has all the technical ability but there's still questions over his mentality, and we could end up with another mario situation.
 
Bizness is picking up. I'd normally dismiss it in the Mail but Sale is very knowledgeable and has a special column that deals a lot on financial related football stuff with a lot of legit ITK information.

I'd say all things being equal we wouldn't be in the top 5-7 pole positions for his services. And rightly so. He would flop here.
