    I just got back to the states this morning. Visited Gávea and Maracanã. They actually have a pretty good guided tour at Maraca, def worth the money.

    That's really good money, but if we are relying on Alecsandro to score goals, we are ********ed. Palmeiras was interested in him yet he chose to come here as a backup? Something tells me they told him about their intentions and this offer.[/media]

    that is a little scary lol.. Watch Alecsandro put up more goals as a backup this season than Moreno did.

    Wiki says he had 11 in total this year, he transferred late in the state championships too iirc.. Obina went to America Mg so we'll see how that works.

    America is quietly assembling a good Serie B team on paper. They'd be one of my favorites for promotion, but we will see how it plays out on the field.

    Looking at his stats, he scored at a pretty good rate everywhere he went.

    Alecsandro did pretty good for Vasco in 2011 and 2012. People just expected forwards now to score at an incredible unrealistic rate.

    25 goals in 2012 and heavily criticized in Vasco while he scored 15 in 2011 for Vasco and was our Hero.. go figure..

    I could care less about the goals in the Carioca. 3 goals in 2011 in the Brasileirão and 10 in 2012. Wellington Paulista can provide me that even.

    Non existent in build up play and instead of playing things simple, he tries cheeky backheel passes that usually never work out.

    Uh oh....

    Chapa Azul is going to ruin all the fine administrative and financial work with their personnel decisions. We need some players for the Libertadores. If we lose Hernane, we need someone better than Alecsandro.

    so whos available with that cash in-flow?

    If I had to guess what will happen:
    Chapa Azul will state they will use the money to bring in a nome de peso.
    Several unrealistic names will be rumored and mentioned to be in talks.
    Chapa Azul will make very unrealistic offers and get laughed at.
    They then will talk about the financial constraints they have to work with and give excuses, without stating why they continue to make false and unrealistic promises.
    They will sign a few apostas de destaque from the state leagues.

    *I love this new diretoria, as they are great for this club, but the empty promises are getting tired to hear.

    Yes, Wallim needs to keep his mouth shut. He's the real problem with promises.

    Yea but wellington paulista is going to Inter now.. I just love how everyone on the globo comments section pans the Alecsandro hiring when in reality it was a solid move.

    I flew from Santos Dumont to Cumbica then to JFK. Too bad, I would have liked that. I was in the interior of SP for 2 weeks, then Rio for 5 days before leaving. Coming back to this cold and work is depressing as fvck. Rio is amazing. My favorite city in the world.
