Just wanted to ask a couple of questions about this guy as a lot of people are talking about wanting him. Firstly.. Is he actually available and if so how much for? (any sources) also, would he be able to get a visa/work permit to come play over here? What i have seen of him, i would love him here, and if he was truly available i think he would have been one of our targets by now, after all we have been arguably impressive with the scouting of late and maybe him slipping under the radar is a little improbable.
Firstly.. Is he actually available and if so how much for? (any sources) ...there was quite a few a few weeks ago(sorry none to hand) when Roberto carlos was being racially abused he came out and stated he wanted to leave,as well as one or two saying he was available for 7m to 8m as he only had a year of his contract left,wages would be a stumbling block plus his club have just bought another Brazilian (Ari from AZ Alkmaar) whether this is as a replacement or to make him stay who knows also, would he be able to get a visa/work permit to come play over here?.....this could be the problem as he has never played for the national team/he has come out and stated he'd play for Russia so whether he has Russian citizenship i don't know,would still be a problem Spartak Moscow paid 5.6m for him in 2007
