Saw a link today for another South American midfielder. Made we wonder about the rogues gallery of nearly men and misfits under Bruce and Midina just out of curiosity. We're they **** after us kind of thoughts!

A quick skim of the internet later and....

Christian Riveros - largely **** in tinpot leagues
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristian_Riveros
Looked promising then was ****

Paulo Da Silva - 42 appearances for Zaragoza in La Liga ( a bloody full season?) after us then Mickey Mouse leagues
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulo_da_Silva
I actually quite liked him and he looked tough.

Nicholas Medina - Should have retired about ten years ago but still only 32 and playing in Peru
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolás_Medina
Never saw him but Julio's mate so ok in my book.

Then found this which killed my interest!

Basically none of them were just **** for us! Made me feel slightly better so checked out Laslandes just to top off...

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilian_Laslandes

Didn't realise he had France caps or cost us £3.6m and left for nowt!
 
Riveros at Gremio, they are a massive club mate! da Silva at one of the biggest clubs in a very wealthy Mexican league.

AFter that though, Medina, less than 100 games managed, has he been a crock, or is he just ****e? Interesting that he got a full Argentina cap in 2004, whilst still our player, but out on loan!

Laslandes, 1 in 4 over 400 games, yet he was probably the worst of all the shocking turd I've ever seen at SAFC. What do we feed these people, haha.
 
Good shout on Gremio! That's where Ronaldinho cut his teeth.....

Reckon Medina must me a crock made of glass!

Laslandes probably just struggled to kick a ball after a night on the pop with Mickey Gray and the gang!
 
Gustavo's Gonads said:
da Silva always looked half decent but never got a run, the Sunderland way.

Riveros was probably just too tiny for England, he was literally like a 4 year old girl. Could play a bit though for sure.

Maybe that's how he got so many games for Gremio.... Gremio Ladies under 16's.....
