Can someone translate this?

"Ball Point caught the Manchester City executive in Sao Paolo airport. Jose Antonio Luque exclusively revealed who traveled up there to talk about the crack of Santos.

The snapshot shown exclusively on Ball's Point on Tuesday night. From Sao Paolo went to the city of Santos, where he drew two conclusions. The first is that Neymar will stay another year in Brazil and then go to Barca. And the second is that if you want, will make a huge effort to snatch the set culé."


Sorry bud, google translate doesn't help with the second bit, the more i read it the more my head hurts.

Basically says that it seems that Neymar will stay with Santos til after the WC, and then will go to Barca. But we will try and make a big effort to stop this happening - meaning we will try our best to sign him.

Snatch the set cule basically means we will try sign the player who is Barcelona bound.

His arrival may push Milner to the exit door, and I am not sure if he is better player than him.

Milner can't even beat out the players we already have. I figured he was out the door regardless, or happy here as a sub.

hes number 8 at corinthians just watch some vids on youtube he looks like he would suit our play looks like a goal scoring midfielder always arriving in the box good skills and good in the air sign him up.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Some proper cringeworthy comments re Milner on this thread.

You want to fuck him off cos we might sign some exotic sounding Brazillian?

Milner is an extremely important part of our best 11. Get a drip ladies.

Its very speculative, all this. The silly season is upon us.

What type of player is he?

Corinthians president came out and said that they have received no offers for any of their players and don't want to sell anyone

Corinthians have no choice. He has a fixed price release clause in his current contract. If we agree to pay it and the player agrees to sign on with us, he is our player.

I rate Milner - as a wing back in a 3 at the back formation.

This Paulinho chap - did I see somewhere last week that someone from city had been 'dispatched' to Brazil to secure his services?
