Vangioni has an Italian passport I think! From the others I mentioned, only Lucas Lima and Mammana would take up a non-eu spot. The rest all hold an EU passport. In any case, I'm clearly not suggest we sign all those players. I was just throwing out names that I think can be realistic for us and won't cost 50/60+ million. If we sign 2-3 of those players I'd be ecstatic.
Dev, I agree on Barbosa. I hear all this buzz about him, but in all honesty, every time I watch him, I can't justify even half of it. I think he's got ability, but there are far better players than him at the moment. I'm not so sure that he'll be a hit in Europe. He needs time, and even with that, he simply may not have what it takes to be part of the elite. In other words, I don't think we should be splashing money on him for example. It's a huge risk and given the popularity of the player, he'll cost a lot of money. Not worth it IMO.
