Cesar recalled by Brazil I thought so another standard design fault? ... Understand he could burst into fire at any moment. We have a International Brazilian
He's got himself to a top Football Club who have helped him get his International career back on track! And with Brazil!
He's the closest we've had to a world class player in my memory. Great player and we're lucky to have him (although he's lucky to be so well paid too). Just hope the rumours of a goalie cull don't extend to him (sorry Green - you've done well of late but you're not in the same class and 50K pw is too much if we're planning for the worst).
Not at all , it should reinforce that he made the right decision to reignite his career and act as an example to others (although being a keeper he's had more chance to showcase his skills with us!!!) Any Brazilian centre backs looking to do the same??!
Is there anyone who thinks Green is better? Mind you some were saying bring Camp back after he lost his place and forest gave him a free transfer. I do wonder about some of our fans and goalies.
Lets not forget a few years ago,he was probably one of the top ,three, best keepers in the world. Class act.Just a pity we dont have the same quality in the rest of the team. SHaun Derry,Clint Hill and....Julio Cesar!
