Should we go for Adriano this summer?

Adriano is off to Madrid...Oh, to jago not holiday!!!

To me he can go to Madrid anytime he wants, I don't wanna him at Milan.

In this WC, he looks very selfish and impatient, IMO. Heck, even Ronaldinho doesn't impress me, yet.

He's simply RIDICULOUS on that WC.

... and he has got two goals already. Boy, it is good to be a Brazilian. by the way, Ronaldo must hate Adriano so much for his 'failure' to get his name registered for the 200th goal for Brazil and his 16th goal too of course. The 16th goal most likely will come later, but Brazil's 200th WC goal has now been officially occupied by an off-side "illegal" goal.

despite his poor WC performance so far, I think he would be the best option out there to replace sheva, now thats a guy that I wouldnt mind spending 40m on, not like torres!

I don't agree that he is not mentally tough enough either, he's already expressed his desire to fight for a place in the team which is a good start. He's not prepared to sit on the sidelines, he wants a starting place. When he's in full flight, he could easily take Seedorf's place, he's defensive enough and energetic enough for the tackling back side of things (something the Seedorf clearly isn't) and he's capable of getting out wide and putting in good crosses (something that is extremely hit and miss with Seedorf, one good one and then two bad ones).

Mancini, i can see some possibilities with, but anyone who realistically thinks that he can play right-back needs to wake up. He's no where near tough enough to play either right-back or right-mid. The only 2 roles he could take with us would be Kaka's (who's defensive work has been severly lacking of late also) and as a support striker.

I agree Kaka doesn't defend much.. but it seems to me that he's been told not to use up his energy defending, because he doesn't do it on the Brazilian NT either. I believe the coaches are the ones telling him not to go tackling players incase he gets injured or something
