Depends on what release clause he agreed when signing with Corinths, remember he signed for free under unusual circumstances. I'd suspect he agreed something like a 5-8m release agreement. So that Corinths get something from nothing, and his obvious european ambitions were not thwarted. His time at Corinths was by necessity not by plan.
I don't really value it like I would have done in the 90s.
Ricard's Colombian.
He named a load of non-Brazilians I thought it was South America in general?
Oh aye, you're right. I just somehow plucked out the names like Emerson, Muniz, Ricardinho, Juninho, Doriva and blotted out the others
So I presumed the theme was Brazilian players we've had.
That price isn't being talked about, it's just the value listed on Transfermrkt which is notoriously bad for this and doesn't take into account any contract factors such as release clauses.
He was also Bolivian
Sheriff listed a load of South American players, they weren’t all meant to be Brazilian I don’t think. Unless Sheriff thinks De La Peña and Payero were Brazilian as well.
I think he was linked with us a while back.. Huddersfield too strangely enough.I Knew I new his name , looked back in emails and found it , I Reccomended Yuri Alberto to Boro 3 years ago this week ! On a free transfer then .
Better late than never ?
Missed Marinelli and Arca too then.
He'd have scored 30 in the championship if we hadn't sold him
I liked him too, though am I right in remembering that selling Rochemback pretty much killed his supply line?
I think it was probably a combination of alot of things players sold, we slowy declined over his time and as people know it takes time to adjust to the English game but some of his finishes where excellent!
Bit lightweight, bit of a one trick pony, but his goals per minutes wasn't awful in a pretty poor side. Seemed to lose his way when Rochemback left. Got 13 goals in 37 starts, not exactly superstar stuff but hardly terrible
He looked like the absolute god of all football in the last game of the season in Robbos first promotion season at Tranmere. I'd never seen a player caress a football like that in English football previously. We just didn't have players like that back then or the players to compliment them. He'd be bog standard top half of championship type player now. The game has changed so much.
