Alan Kardec just about ready to play for SPFC. SPFC is building a talented group: Pato, Ganso, Luís Fabiano, Dorlan Pabón, Álvaro Pereira, and now, Kardec.
Two desperate signings by Vitoria. Leo Costa is at least worth a gamble but Alemao from Ituano is such a reach. Slow, Clumsy, and he makes rash challenges but he does read the game good. Anyone who watched Ituano could see Alemao is a serie b quality cb who'd be useful off the bench or if you need to play with 3 cbs.
He was very disciplined in the Paulistao, as in fouled smart and didn't leave room on his back. The good game reads is what they are trying to get from him. Teams need a defender that can always be in position to make plays.
I'm not disagreeing I just think it is a reach especially since I remember him being terrible at Nautico.
Some players are role players only and are great system players. Of course if you have a team full of role players and system players you can only go so far. But what Ituano did was just that, got a team to fully commit to their defensive system and not take any chances, takes a huge amount of discipline to be patient like that.
Yeah, I was going to mention that. But that begs the question -- who will be our reserve LB? You know André Santos will miss time...
I read that Santos would bring Renato back, but then I realized they were talking about the one at Botafogo who played at Santos in the past.
Wagner Lopez is Criciuma's new manager. He has no experience and he didn't even wow in the paulista. Criciuma's probably going to go down even with a decent roster. Good move by Fig hiring Guto.
Superintendente de futebol do Figueirense confirma que Flamengo negou o empréstimo do lateral João Paulo ao clube catarinense.
Yeah, he is a Fla product and was horrible when he played for us. He was also voted worst player in Ligue 1 a few seasons, but it seems he improved some.
Praying that Diego and Robinho finally come home, mostly Diego. Renato coming back to the Vila is a plus
