Maccarone was considered one of the best young talents in Italy, he scored loads for their u-21s, and had a full cap for them.
Alves record IS awesome - in Holland - I seem to recollect a certain Mateja Kezman scoring aplenty over there.
I'm prepared to eat humble pie, but I'm always curious when these "talents" end up at teams like Middlesborough - so I'm going to go for FLOP!
Yep gonna be a massive flop. After all he could only manage two goals today.
