Can anybody tell me more about him? How is he doing with the national team and what do you guys think of him?
An interesting article on Da silva http://www.soccerphile.com/soccerphile/news/balkans-soccer/eduardo-da-silva.html
plays for dianmo zagreb, naturalized brazilian, naturally married a croatian woman......very quick and good technically, i believe he was scooped up by dinamo straight from brazil. He's a tireless worker on the pitch, good striker and i believe this was his 3rd international goal, pretty good because he's only really started playing for us after the WC2006
Croatian press praises Da silva. http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=afp-fbleur2008croisrdasilva&prov=afp&type=lgns
da Silva has been the leading goalscorer last year and looks to do the same this year in the croat league. After making a splash on the interational stage (with Croatia and with Dinamo against Arsenal/Auxerre) Dinamo's board is looking to make some big bucks on this kid, although they are saying they are not which is actually just a ploy to get more money, in my opinion. He's 23 years old, quick, technically good, has an eye for the goal and has always been a proffesional, I look forward to seeing him play on a bigger stage.
well there's lots of specualtion, three clubs were mentioned, PSV, Tottenham (although i dont know why since they already have Berbatov, Defoe, Keane and Mido) and even Chelsea, but nothing conclusive.
Yes, something like 17 in HNL 5 for NT (friendly against Italy included) 5 in cup 5 in preliminar CL rounds 2 in supercup I think more than 1 per game. He said he will score at least 50 this season. I think if he will be healthy it will be even more.
Eduardo Da Silva named Croatian player of the Year http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=reu-croatiaaward&prov=reuters&type=lgns
He has some offers from western Europe, but NK dinamo Zagreb is making a club for Europian championships so he and other dinamo players(Modrić, Ćorluka, Buljat, Etto) are not for sale. For your information Eduardo da Silva was 15 years old when Inter Milano caled him for a test he faild so his menager(croatian) offered him to Dinamo Zagreb and he singed, and at age 16 or 17 went on a loan to Inker (today Inter)Zaprešić. He returned from loan and entered into first 11 and become league top player!
One of the biggest affordable strikers on the market next season. Any team that buys him will make a very good buy
Yes, very important goal... but to be honest, Srna did everything in this game, scoerd briliant gol from free kick, earnd second yellow by Goce Sedloski and perfectly asisted for Edurado.
Da silva scored twice for his team to win 3-2 http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=reu-europecroatia&prov=reuters&type=lgns
like i said about modric's 10 year contract, its just to please the fans and for him to pledge his loyalty to the club, he's not staying there for more than 2 years, tops
