As you probably know, Brazilian club Corinthians was approached by an obscure group of Iranian and Russian investors that already signed Argentine international Tevez and plans to build a star team. Renowed Brazilian coach Vanderley Luxemburgo and another Argentine player (Mascherano) are already being contacted. So is Corinthians set to be the Chelsea of this side of the world? And what does it say abo0ut the possible next generation of new bandwagon fans of Corinthians?
I was wondering why he went there. He's easily ready for big time European teams. How much did they pay for him anyway?
they are not gonna play libertadores next year, only the sulamericana cup (kinda like south american version of uefa's cup) and yes, we will be the most powerful team in the whole continent in america.
how many foreign players are allowed in brazil, 3? i realize being in brazil with money, they would not need many, if any foreigners, but just curious.
CM says the Brazilian league allows 2 foreigners. It tends to be extremely accurate on league rules, at the very least.
Sounds like drug money to me. I remeber when i first heard tevez was going to the corinthians i couldnt beleive my ears. Especially for 20mil. I didnt know brazilian Teams had that kind of bank! Well now i know why. Drug money. LOL
How is it a dumb move? Just because he didn't sign with a big euro team, and decided to stay in the americas. Did you not hear/read that he was paid 20mln. He probably could shine in Spain right now, but no club in Europe is willing to pay him that much, so he did the right thing in my opinion.
