Brazilians in the Premiership

[luke chadwick]

Ok, before anyone starts creaming in their trousers over the possiblity of Kerlon coming over - I saw him in the under 17s in Venezuela and on Cruzeiro as well. Fucking brilliant footballer - but honestly, what Brazilian has really excelled in English football?
They seem to be very scarce.

Kleberson who?

I thought Silvinho was quite good on the cunts, as is Gilberto Silva (even if he looks like a twin of that twat, Ass Cole)

The brilliant little runt Juninho was a bust on Boro

Actually can´t come up with any others. Odd that you find nearly every league in the world full of these Brazilian exports . . . except the greatest one, The Premiership.

We thinks the jogo bonito doesn´t translate into the queen´s English. Technical, individual, slower rythym, fancy dipsy doo crap . . . all get mowed down on English pitches.

The fucking miserable weather and the culture shock undoubtadly takes it´s toll on the jolly Brazlian personality as well.

Yer right, but god who'd want to put up with all that boring repetitive sunshine everyday from where they come from?

I do think that the English game is slowing down though, and becoming less physical so if Brazilians were ever going to hack it in our league its going to be now rather than any time past.

Juninho looked quality for his first spell at Boro and there was the mention of him coming to us at the time, but in his second spell he looked like every Brazilian before him.

Let's hope it doesn't get too less physical, as Henry put it, ' They were rolling around all night, i don't do that i'm not a woman...'

Not many Brazilians have made the move though.
And, we don't hear about the flops in other leagues, cos we dont have the same media.
