Bring the Little Fella back

Imagine the scenes, apparently having disputes with the Brazilian F.A.

Imagine the scenes when hes getting boo' d out of the dugout when he is having to rely on a shady defence and immobile midfield to win us games and loses his 5th consecutive game.

There are things that even that Magician cannot solve I am afraid.

I think he meant bring him back and play him

Bring him back so he can tell us why the players he sent us from Brazil ended up playing in leagues like Estonia and Martinelli ended up at Arsenal!

Martinelli was recommended to us but we couldn’t afford to pay £7m for a 17 year old at the time.

Also I think of the main issues at the time was the work permit rules meaning we could only take players who were eligible for European passports.

He's a DoF isn't he? Natural successor when Mr Scott hangs up his notebook.

He has an Italian passport which he used to sign for Arsenal.

That part of my post was answering your question about why the players who did come here ended up in poor leagues. Juninho was quoted saying work permit rules meant he couldn’t send the best prospects over. Martinelli qualified but the fee wasn’t in our budget for a 17 year old prospect.
