Thiago Motta

[fischetts]

According to UEFA, his registered nationality is Italian. He's a midfielder for Barca and seems to be rather skillful. Maybe Mario can make a more in depth analysis, but from what I've read, he's young and ready to explode.

Do you think he could fit into the Azzurri setup one day? He has been in Spain long enough to be considered a naturalized citizen and thus available for their team. He was born in Brazil as well and could theoretically be considered them?

Anyway, I enjoyed his performance against Inter at the Nou Camp (then again, I was pretty drunk so I might be wrong...) and think we should snatch him up before another nation benefits from his talent.

He's just 21 IIRC, he's a brazilian-italian and hasnt been capped in either national team, he's left footed and still needs to develop himself as a winger or CM, still has a bright future though, actually the match vs Inter in Camp Nou was one of his best performances so far, I agree he played outstanding, however there are matches in which his play is unnoticed.
