    U19 Captain Mai starting for Bayern today as CB, hope he does well. He already visited Hamburg a week ago and his contract expires after the season, so maybe a last-ditch effort by Bayern to convince him of staying.

    The breh that confused us is joining a European club, Brazilian media saying all of the top teams tried for him but he'll likely join Bayer Leverkusen, as they have great experiences with South Americans and are a great place to develop.

    Bayern and Man City etc are said to make some final offers as well, tho.

    I think they meant to say ONCE...Bayer has been alright since then but they should continue to develop Leon Bailly......have not done that much recently in terms of Brazilian players.

    Talents should be developed from all over not just Brazil.

    Brazilians come and go in Germany, but they still have not figured out how to be their best in tournaments. The mentality is hard to master.

    Looked up and seems Leverkusen had more than 25 South American Players so far, many of them pretty successful (Vidal, Ze Roberto, Emerson, Lucio, Jorginho, Juan, Sergio, Rink etc) and currently Bailey, Wendell, Alario.
    Seems to be a good spot for these guys.

    Agree with the tournament stuff tho, but think the new generation (age 16-25) is primed for greatness.

    Some reports saying Bayern is now in pole Position for Paulinho and that we'll negotiate soon, let's see. Apparently impressed Bayern with his mature approach to the game.

    Arsenal news: Mikael Arteta, former Arsenal and Everton player, seems to be the new coach.

    Gutsy choice, will be interesting to see how much he learned from Pep.

    Damn 5-0... makes Barca's exit even more laughable.

    EDIT: Dzeko scoring a late away goal you'd expect to be irrelevant. We've been there...

    Seems the Arteta thing was someone jumping the gun, Arsenal is looking at candidates still.
