First of all, sorry but just now I saw your post, Christian.

You´re right, we really need a #10... But Ganso is injured and will not help us soon enough, plus his price will be Neymar´s like. Ganso(if health) is worth a lot of money and I really don´t believe Santos will accept(only) 15 millions for one of the best talents Brazil produced in the last 20 years.

I hope, but still don´t believe we will have the money to buy Ganso. It would be amazing to have our own "Zidane", but with our police and the money directed to Ibra/Robinho, I can´t see Silvio spending that much again...

From the games I saw Ganso seems pretty amazing, and looks like a unique talent, but of the two I feel like Giuliano would fit in best at the moment. He seems like more of a Kaká type player, and thus I think he would fit into a Ibrahimovic team more. Since I feel Ibrahimovic is best playing in teams that defend deep, don't keep a to much possession etc. This way he can be used to play the ball up on (which he's excellent at cause the ball sticks), and he gets more influence this way (As compared to having to stay in the box).
Ganso right now is the best player, no doubt. But I will be glad with both.

Btw, whats the deal with Giuliano. I saw him earlier in Libertadores, and he was amazing + his team won, yet I don't hear anything about him over here. I hear loads about Ganso and Neymar though, and even Jucilei is starting to create a bit of a buzz. Just seems weird to me that a player leading his team to the Libertadores doesn't get more buzz.
Still can´t figure it out too, Christian...

At first, like with Jucilei, the buzz about Giuliano here was pretty small... Only a few journalists hyped him. After the Libertadores(if I´m not wrong he was the MVP, even as a sub) the hype got bigger, but not to the point he deserve. Maybe a few points can explain this:
- He doesn´t play in a Săo Paulo or Rio de Janeiro team.
- Play out of position to make room for D´alessandro and Tinga.
- He was amazing in Libertadores, but didn´t play that well in Brasileirăo.

Like you said, it´s realy weird. Hernanes also, at the time he was playing for S. Paulo, got more hype from European than Brazilian press... Thats the trend in Brazil now(imo), to underrate our own players and I think the same will happen with Giuliano...
