As I wrote, the problem with Breno wasn´t talent(as with Alex Silva), but that the boy was(is) raw...I saw(and read) people in Brazil 1 year ago saying that this boy needed to be a starter in Brazil

I agree about our board's (Leonardo's ) scouting abilities... When it comes to signing players from Brazil, our club has been excellent.

Yep, people loves to bash our board(some times with a good reason), but they also know football. At least Brazilian football, as you said

Roque Junior aside, Kaká, Pato are amazing purchases. I also know they almost purchased Alex. In fact, Braida came to Brazil to watch him and approved the purchase, but Milan went out of the fight because at that time, they didn´t enter in a bid fight...

Huge mistake that they learned, as we fight for Pato´s purchased...

Oddo is walked over by Henry...

Yes, you said it when we are linked with Breno year(s) ago. We were also linked with him in this season but Milan finally took Thiago Silva.

What I am still confused is about his age. There were rumours I read (forget where I read it) that he is actually older than 19 years old.

At least they tried again with Thiago Silva. I am really waiting for his games with us in official games because I love his style. But I still hope Milan add a WC defender next season to be paired with him.

Scary...

Brasiliero, I'll ask the question in here as it gets lost in the "mercato" thread:

Has Thiago played as a RB in Brasil in some part of his career? And do you consider him capable of doing that considering his caracteristics?

Someone also asked about Miranda since there was news about Milan's interest in him.

By this time Thiago Silva, formerly a right winger who also had spells in midfield and at full-back, had been converted into a centre-back.

Sorry my friend, I didn´t saw youe question there.

To be honest, I really can´t remember of Thiago playing as a RB, but thinkng about it, I think you´re giving Carlo a amazing idea.

Imo Thiago has skills to do it if asked. He has the speed, ability and will to do the job. Also, Carlo(as Guss Hiddink) love to put a CB as one of the fullbacks...

Now, I hope Carlo read your idea, because I think it will be a great option for the games that we need more defensive power.

My friend mrki helping Carlo...now I know the world isn´t right

Siregar, by far better than Alex Silva that we were linked in the past, no doubt.
But I just don´t hate him as defenders like Alex, Juan, David Luiz...

Maybe is because he goes to France and come back to Brazil, and play in a three man defense...I don´t know

Look, I don´t want to be unfair with the guy because I don´t know the reasons of his liberation from his France team. But I generally be cautious with this because can be a signal of adaptation problems...or not.

But to be fair, the guy has a great character, works hard, is technical and play tough.

It´s only my opinion, and I know several people here in Brazil that don´t agree with me, but my feeling tell me to not buy him. He´s better than anything we have now but Nesta, and have some doubts if Thiago or him is the better defender...

But Thiago has proved himself in a 2 CB defense, and Miranda not...as I said above, I don´t think he can step and change our defense from day one as players like Alex, Juan, David Luiz...but it´s just my opinion.

Thank you Brasileiro for your view about Miranda.

Above you mentioned about David Luiz. How is he doing now after the long injury? How do you rate him (his late performances) now?

My fear with David was a possible injure prone career, but after his treatment in USA, he appears to be health again.

To be honest, I´m seeing another side of David´s game. Benfica coach(the spanish one, I forgot his name) is playing him a lot as left-back. Never thought he could play that position, and the fact I never wrote about this in my reports show this...But I saw some games, and he´s doing fairly good.

Of course he´s at his best as a CB, but it gives another dimension and value for this player.

Also, and to be fair (since I didn´t watch all Benfica games), David also appears to have lost one of his biggest flaws: the excessive use of the elbows...

If I´m not wrong, the guy also is a EU-player(Portuguese passport).

Imo, after Alex, the best Brazilian defender...

Thank you mate for your view (again). It's always very nice to have scout in this forum.

If Milan wants a young central defender with great potential, they should target Nicolas Otamendi (21 years old, Velez Sarsfield, Argentina). This kid is a rock and very tough on one-on-one.
His price tag must be between 5M and 10M euros. Great investment.

Thanks!!
News from Brazil:
Ramirez from cruzeiro was bought by Benfica for no more than 8 Millions. It´s unbelievble, a talent like him and so cheap...

Imo also, he made the wong choice going to Benfica. The club is very instable right now, and isn´a good place for a promise(and foreign) player like him.

Also, Hernanes is in a dreadfull form right now...maybe São Paulo will ask for less now...Imo he isn´t more happy in Brazil...

I want to ask Brasileiro if he can tell us more about André Santos is he a Milan material

André Santos is 26 yo he is Brazilian left back. He currently plays for Corinthians.
On May, 2009, he was called up for the first time to the Brazilian national team for 2010 World Cup qualification

His agent said that he has offers from Spain and his price is 5 milion euro
