Summer mercato 2012

[brasileiro]

I hope this Gabriel kid turns to be a good signing. Galliani's presenting him as a U20 WC champion today reminded me of a certain winner+MVP+top scorer in the not so distant past.

Lastly, between him and Neto (Fiorentina 2nd and Brasil NT 3rd choice GK who is still young too) which one is better?

The problem we are always after the best deal(money wise) and not the best player. I still remember my post were I wrote Adyaah was nothing special, that their LB was the best player. I watched almost every game of that tournament, and that was the reason I was bold in my prediction regarding Adyah, even with some poster saying I wasn´t impressed because he wasn´t Brazilian.

Henrique was the MVP of the last WC under-20, and I said he´s nothing special, too. Moreover, that Brazilian generation is very weak, can´t believe we won it. Gabriel and Oscar were some of the few bright spots in that Brazil NT. But Henrique was chose MVP(Oscar was the real MVP imo, with Gabriel following ) of the tournament and some club bought him. I´m glad it wasn´t MIlan.

Regarding Neto/Gabriel comparison, I can´t help because I only know the hype about the first. But Gabriel I saw playing and was impressive in Brazil under-20 NT. It´s not like we are buying someone that did nothing this time. Let´s hope we can develop him...
