Dont think rate Elias that highly....considering A.Madrid didn't want to keep hold of him. Kleber i only saw against Barca & thought he really had a poor game..
^ Yeah Kleber has a lot of potential and technical ability, but is clearly not NT material right now. If he can relax and find his form at Porto, I'm sure he'll bag plenty of goals and perhaps be considered for A Seleccao.
I mean Kleber was called up simply bc we dont have enough U23 forwards right now. espexially ones who are healthy or in form. And of course, we lose Kleber soon after. It's actually scary how many forwards have struggled to stay healthy this season. Pato, Nilmar, Fred, Fabiano, Adriano, Robinho. The list is huge. I mean that's 7 right there. Shouldn't come as a shock if we see Borges or even Firmino given a shot.
Not to mention Damiao on the treatment table... Fabuloso looked sharp on his debut so maybe the next set of INT games should be good timing for him. Borges deserves another shot, i thought he had a solid debut....plus his stats are awesome this season so why not. His hold up play is excellent, which will allow Neymar, Lucas etc to get into the game more.
All it takes is Hulk to have one good performace for the national team that big European teams already want him. Inter de Milan. http://globoesporte.globo.com/futeb...o-estaria-de-olho-na-contratacao-de-hulk.html
It's not this game, Chelsea were after his tail all summer along with other top clubs with the prices mentioned up to 50 milion euros... he's been a subject of transfer rumoured to big clubs for 2 years now. It will be more true if you said "It took one good performence in the NT for Hulk to be noticed by Brazilian people after he went under the radar despite all he's done in Europe" imo

Hernanes just bossed Roma's derby in Lazio 2-1 win. Simply magicstic performence. the best i've seen from him in all his time in Italia without a doubt. Doubt Mano can ignore him much longer keeping him off major playing time.
Hernanes still mixes things some great stuff with poor, even in this game alone... and I still mostly see him as an offensive midfielder.
Yes to be fair, untill last week he was probably the worst Lazio player this year. But with this performence it's hard to ignore him.
Even in this game he did some poor actions for example, in his best goal opportunity just in front of goal he almost completely missed the ball and got a misguided shot, He was very active, best player in Lazio for sure, did have some nice individual moves getting past his adversary but many of his crosses did not find a team player. Many are shouting for Hernanes in selecao but I think it is a bit exagerated I don´t see him as a much better player than for example Fernandinho.
Lol I mut have been watching a different match. Hernanes was great in the Roman derby - I can't believe you don't consider him any better than the invisible man Fernandinho
Did You read what I wrote? You didn´t say anything that contradicted what I said. I know Fernandinho haven´t been very good in NT but he is not invisible at his club. I would say that they are about the same level, though different, with Fernandinho being more central midfielder, team player, consistent, simple, and Hernanes more offensive, individual skilled, and a bit more irregular.

Andre Santos is actually doing quite well at Arsenal. However it is not hard for a Brazilian to succeed at Arsenal, given the lack of defense will they have and the short expressive game they like to play. Nice finish today too...
http://www.givemefootball.com/premier-league/liverpools-new-kaka-target-long-term-alonso-replac The 'new Kaka' to replace Xabi Alonso Well that doesn't sound like a very smart plan for Lucas
Do they even care to do basic research on the player their news are based on, like WHAT POSITION DOES IT PLAY FOR? Xabi is a defensive midfielder, a deep playmaker even. Lucas is a explosive AMF that could also work as a second forward/winger... This is lunacy.
Dante was voted by Kicker as 2nd best CB in first half of Bundesliga. He's also the chief of Borussia Mönchengladbach's defense which is the best in the league. Borussia is currently 4th, just 1 point behind the leaders from Munich while kicking their asses 3-1 on last friday. Bayern is also heavily linked in German media for buying Dante next summer.
