Adriano for free?

[keniget]

Flamengo striker Adriano has been offered to Tottenham for free as he looks to secure his 2010 World Cup place with Brazil. Full story: Daily Mirror

Surely a load of bollocks, but complete fucking mentalist that he is, I'd still have him.

Liverpool are lining up a January move for Vasco da Gama striker Nilton.

Or err... Nilton?

Liverpool are poised for a January move for Vasco da Gama starlet Nilton.

Vasco, who once beat Manchester United en route to the final of the Club World Cup in 2000, have fallen on hard times since.

They currently ply their trade in the Brazilian Second Division and are struggling to keep hold of midfield ace Nilton.

The 22-year-old scored a stunning overhead volley in Vasco’s 4-1 victory over Vila Nova and Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has taken note.

How did the BBC get that wrong? Midfield ace.... striker.....

 

[dossena]

I see that they've changed it from striker to starlet.

 

[the_khl]

I'll take almost any striker on a free these days.

*Erik Meijer and Shaun Dundee aside.

 

[Squiggles]

I cannot see there being anything to lose by offering him a 6 month deal.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

I love starlets.

Apart from loads of money for no gain?

 

[rebel23]

But so was Baptista,no ?

 

[Mamma Mia]

He's no Emile Heskey.

 

[Dreambeliever]

For free we would have little to lose to take him for 6 months.

 

[Rafiagra]

I want players who want to play for Liverpool, but not because they see it as a stepping stone.

I'm Out.

 

[Hansern]

If Adriano can play the rest of the season without going mental, then sure.

But there's little hope in something like that happening.

 

[The Nomad]

Adriano & Nilton for free in January? Fair enough.... But whats happened to our other Brazilian prodegies?
