Obina!!!!
Just kidding......From what I've seen I'd put Rogerio Ceni first, but too bad I don't have PFC (just globo).

Jorge Wagner, does he play left wing-back/left mid for SPFC?

In the 3-5-2, he plays left mid.

Exactly. In the 3-5-2 I consider that position more of a wing back but either way; In the few matches I have seen SPFC play this season he was very, very impressive.

Josiel is an obvious choice.

Josiel is an obvious choice.
Anyone on a crappy team like Paraná who leads the league in shots taken can score as many goals as him. If Josiel left Brazil, it would be to a small European league. Earlier this year when he was in a goal streak, some small team in France was after him. It won't get any better than that..

Playing for a crappy team and leading the league in shots taken doesn´t really add up

I hope he doesnt go to europe. A russian team wanted him, but Parana wanted more money. Thank God, without him, we'd have been relegated with America 5 weeks ago.
And this isnt a thread about teams, it's about players. He's the leading goal scorer, thus making him one of the best players in his area.

Goalscoring statistics are very misleading in Brazil. Just 2 years ago, Romario was leading the league and he wasn't even close to being the best striker in the league. Same thing with Souza last year.

Especially in Latin America
I don´t really know him, but if you are the leauge leader in goals on a bad team you must do something right

He leads the league in shot attempts by a large margin. Like I said at the beginning of the year, lots of his shots were going in and Paraná was at the top of the table. Now teams are forcing him to take harder shots and they aren't going in very frequently. Paraná is now a team fighting against relegation.

So that must mean that he can score from mid range 15 to 25 meters.
Very few players(no more then 10 in Europe) can do that so there will be interest from him, because every team want atleast one player like that

Wasn´t Bruno supposed to move to PSV about 6 months ago?

He was a candidate to replace Gomes but with O Goleiro Grande staying in Eindhoven PSV don't need him ;)
Bruno is a good goalie but a little bit inconsistent, still I think Bruno is very alike to the Gomes who played for Cruzeiro.
So you're a PSV fan as well? Otherwise you wouldn't know PSV was interested in Bruno.
