I don't always agree with what you say..

But I agree on that. I liked Kleberson and didn't think he was ever given a fair chance for Man United. Often played on the wing wasn't he? He never did much wrong when I watched him. Very tidy player.

He was played literally everywhere apart from central midfield, he should have been used linking play up from a defensive mid, leaving it up to him to spread it out wide, or to the forwards.
He was stuck out on the wing, where his average pace did him no favours, he was stuck as defensive mid where the very fact he wasnt a hard tackling battling player did him no favours, and he was played as an attacking mid behind a striker, which he simply wasnt.

He was never going to score many goals from midfield, he was never going to be charging down the wing chucking inch perfect crosses in.

Good link here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4455669.stm

Certainly an exciting prospect, and not amazingly dissimilar from Arsenal paying £12m for an unproven youngster...

Nice article he does look promosing i think he can use the trick effectively just not if he over does it.

I.E like it says using it to advantage win a free kick and scores.

Do we really need another player who goes down like a fairy and doesn't supply an end product?

How do you work that out?

I think he is referring to Ronaldo i agree he is frustrating at times but he has been awesome for Utd.

He'll get nailed in the prem.

There's only so many times you can chop someone down before you get sent off!

Yes I was referring to Ronaldo. I don't want us to buy another player whose main contribution to the club is flashy tricks (seal dribble). Yes Ronaldo is getting progressively better and providing more the longer he stays at the club. But throwing another player of his ilk into midfield would really annoy me.

IMO we should be spending every penny we've got on securing a world class midfield engine, not blowing more money on unproved players.

He looks worryingly similar to Keiron Richardson in that photo

Arsenal spent £12m on Walcott... spending £6m on the best 18 year old talent in Brazil could be very good business.

it could be, but there are work permit problems, are they going to loan him out to a team in spain for the next 3 years?

He looks quite frightening, in a creepy Children of the Corn sort of way. :eek:

He was top scorer and rated player of the tournement for Brazil in the U17 World championships so he must have some talent...but hold on if this was Liverpool or whoever wanting to buy someone like Sergio Aguero then people would be riding rafas nutts to do the deal. Kleberson wasnt a bad player, and he played very well in the last world cup. He was virtually unknown at the time and looked promising, he was unfortunate to get a lot of injuries at the begining of his OT career and had a few personnal problems didnt he? Anyway he probably wont be eligable(sp?) to play next season unless he can find if he has EU relations, so he'll be sent out on loan if they can not get a work permit for him. Probably loan him back to Cruzeiro

i would have thought he would get loaned out to Antwerp like Dong Fangzhou.

actually he looked crap in the world cup, hardly touched the ball, didn't really need to considering the players in the Brazil team. He was only signed to help Ronaldinho settle, when Kenyon messed up the Ronaldinho transfer it was too late to call off the signing of Kleberson.

He was Brazils best player in the world cup.
You need your head checking.

I'm sure he's working on midfield aswell.
He may be looking at Kerlon as a replacement for Saha.
