the Brazilians are coming!...to the prem

[adri]

All over the pitch as well, at least a half dozen Brazilian players, several of them high profile, will be plying the're trade in the english top flight in the new season(when was the last time that happened?)

here they are:

Lucas (liverpool) midfielder, one cap for brazil proper.

Anderson (Man Utd), attacking mid/left wing, two caps, big price tag.

Geovanni (Man City), Attacking mid/forward, formerly of Barca & Benfica, 7 caps (last in 2001)

Eduardo da Silva (Arsenal), striker, plays for Croatia NT.

Raphael Schmitz (Birmingham), centreback, getting french passport. has CL experience (with Lille)

Alex (Chelsea) unconfirmed, but likely signing, centreback, NT regular ten caps.

So how do you think these players will fare in the Premier League? breakout stars? weak legged flops?

any others i've missed?

[sinner78]

Da silva will be a good buy for arsenal.

[ForzaAmeen]

da Silva & Geovanni could be revelations

[zigzagolip]

Geovanni will be rubbish, he is a journeyman, one kick and he will be limping off.

Da Silva will be great as will Anderson

[0-Point]

Da silva will be a good buy for arsenal.

Either...

1. Da Silva good buy scores tons becomes hero
2. Da Siva good bye claims UK isn't cold enough


oh yeah, there aren't enough Brasilieros in the Prem...

Another one to the prem!

Shaktar Donetsk & Brazil regular midfielder Elano has joined Manchester City. Elano has played central mid for brazil & is also capable of playing on the right.

Alex has now receved a work permit, he still need to agreed terms with chelsea & complete a medical.

Newcastle are reportedly in talks to sign former Lyon defender Cacapa on a free transfer.

Gilberto will most likely be our captain next season.

Eduardo scored his first goal today

[robledo]

Fabio Aurelio (Liverpool) also has played well when he's not been injured ;)

[Abebe]

Alex is big and fast. Will do wel in England.

[Bluechester]

Elano is gonna rip it up ;)

[adri]

Elano is gonna rip it up ;)
depends where/how spend-goran plays him.

Alex is in london for a medical.

newcastle have signed Cacapa.

[marighand]

Daniel Alves could be on the verge of a switch to Chelsea from Sevilla. Could be HUGE!

This is great finally the Brazilians are realizing what the best league is :D

[Powerhitter04]

I really hope the Premier League starts to get Brazilians like Ronaldinho and Kaka.

[adri]

Liverpool have been linked with a move for Real Madrid fullback Cicinho.

Odd thing is, Brazlians come to the Prem, but they never stay long except for a very few exceptions. Weather, language, community.... (shrug).

still, i don't remember the last time this many players came in to the league in one season. someone's bound to stick.

[thebigman]

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
