da silva is the most likely cus he cut it in a cold and new environment in coratia
if i was a man u fan id be worried about anderson, i think he could flop
Havn't really seen Anderson, but saw Nani in the split team game highlights and he scored a real screamer. Looks like a good signing.

A couple of seasons ago Gilberto Silva was the only Brazilian playing in the EPL. Great to see this number increase.

I would have to say that right now, week in and week out, Anderson is by far performing the best out of all the Brazillians....the only thing he doesn't do regularly is score goals.

the first brazilian player in EPL was mirandinha, right?

Yes he was the first Brazilian to play for an English football team.
Although not the first Brazilian EPL player as the league wasn't formed till several years later. That honour, I *think* went to Juninho Paulista. But that's me being pedantic as I knew what you meant.

there was a Brazilian guy called Isaias who played for Coventry City. I think he came a season before Juninho but didnt make too much impact.....except 2 well taken goals against the Smoggies I seem to recall :D
