Winter Mercato

I didn't see any rumour about us wanting these players recently ... ????

Viudez is the other non-EU player for Milan this season to complete the two non-EU players that allowed to come to a Serie A club in one season.

Actually, Cardacio and Viudez took the non-EU spots, so Sheva didnt take the spot...

After searching back Brasileiro's post about Thiago Silva (name that always confuses me with Alex Silva), I found (again and again ) that Thiago Silva was the player whom Brasileiro recommended in certain thread (after David Luiz of Benfica). Brasileiro also said that Thiago Silva is better than Alex Silva when he was asked which one is better between the two's Silva.

But I still have question. Why did Dunga choose Alex Silva in Beijing 2008? Dunga only played Thiago Silva from the first minute in the third match of the group phase (which I think that Brasil has already qualified to the next round in that time).

Cardacio has an Italian passport. It was Sheva who took the other spot.

damn me

why doesnt Sheva have one

so that means that Ronnie has either a Spanish or a French passport?

He has a Spanish one

2 solutions for Sheva:
- he has an Italian passport
- he is on loan and loans aren't counted in the EU spots and purchases (like in FM09, when a non-EU player is loaned to your team, he's not counted in the non-EU players bought nor in the non-EU spots).

Siregar, to reply you, I would ask a question too: why did Dunga play Rafael Sobis instead of Pato ??


I have an answer but I couldn't put it here ... lol

Anyway, I often wonder why you (almost) never hear of Brazilian players who carry a Portuguese passport. It's always Italian passports. I guess there's a difference between the Portuguese and Italian rules on recieving citizenship?

I don't know if you already know about number of non-EU players that can be signed in one season for Serie A club, GeoTav. Since this season a club in Serie A can buy or take two non-EU players, not only one player like before.

So, Viudez took one non-EU spot and Sheva the other one (loan or permanent move).

With respect to your question, I do think that Dunga didn't play Pato and choosed Sobis instead because Pato was not fit (not in-shape) in that time and Sobis was better. A couple of weeks later (after Olympic) Leonardo gave advices to Pato to take the training more seriously (or something like that) and from what I understand about his saying is that Pato didn't train like what Carlo Ancelotti expect from his players or what italian big team's coach expect from his players in the training.

Yes I know for the 2 non EU purchases now possible in Italy, but this way, there is a problem !!

Cardaccio is a non-EU player ?
Viudez too ?
And Sheva too ?

That's 3 in one single season, not allowed, so Sheva mustn't be counted in it, OR Cardaccio has an European passport hidden somewhere ??

I sold no-one if I remember (ah yes, Favalli, Kalac and some other players for free lol) and bought both Santacroce and Breno for almost nothing ... I won't take Veloso as I did it in FM08 and I was so disapointed !!

Anyway, let's speak about that somewhere else LOL
