http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport...brazilian-ace-snubs-sunderland-move-1-5868801 BRAZILIAN midfielder Daniel Bessa has revealed he turned down Sunderland to join Portuguese side Olhanense. Inter Milan had been prepared to allow the attacking midfielder to move to Wearside on loan. But the 20-year-old has decided to leave Italy for a stint in the Portuguese league instead. âI had an offer from Sunderland but that wasnât the football I wanted,â he told Maisfutebol. âI watch the Portuguese league and itâs fast and technical.â Very interesting choice imoâ¦Premier League must seem more appealing than the Portuguese leagueâ¦unless its Porto/Benfica
I reckon he's scared, scared of the physicality of the league and what's expected from a modern Sunderland AFC player.
