coolhead23 1,147 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 On the Live transfer clockwatch of Sky Sports.According to Lancenet in Brazil, Chelsea have made an offer of €9.4million (£8.1m) for Botafogo defender Doria and the Brazilian club are expected to respond to the bid by Friday night.Never heard of him but 8m seems to be a big amount for an unknown player if the news is true. Can anyone provide more insights on him? Looks like Barca are after him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggs95 0 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 You have link to this story?http://www.lancenet.com.br/botafogo/Chelsea-envia-proposta-zagueiro-Doria_0_962304042.htmlLancenet is apparently very reliable too. Many people in Brazil rate him as their best young defender (better than Marqinhos and others), and he is also the U20 captain as well as being capped by the Brazil first team.The number being touted seems like a decent enough offer as well, so it could be enough to get him. Chelsea want a decision by tonight as well, so more will be found out potentially today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone provide more insights on him? Looks like Barca are after him as well.Heard of him, never seen him playing. The only thing I know is that he turns into a monster, one of the best defenders in that Football Manager game. At first, when I entered the forum today and saw the name of this topic I said to myself: "Hmmm, Doria... must be that defender every Football Manager fan talks about. This guy who opened the topic about Doria must be a FM fan or a brazilian asking why Chelsea isn't bidding for him." Maybe some friends from Brazil or any other guys watching Brazil Seria A closely could provide some insights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucio 5,418 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I rate this guy highly. Strong and good on the ball. Better athlete than marquinhos and the same potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,557 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Proof again that managers claims,especially in the transfer window should always be taken with a pinch of salt.if it's true that we have bid for him then Jose's words about it being Rooney or bust clearly wasn't meant the way many took it. A bit surprised we have gone for another CB tho..thought it would be De Rossi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killer1257 3,282 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 So i presume it's gonna be like Wallace condition right? I think so.The problem is that he has to play for the brazil nationalteam and it will take him a lot of time to make it into the nationalteam.They already have Luiz,Dante,Silva and next year maybe Marqiunhos,because he will play for a big team,which are one of the best contenders for the UCL.

Waterfall 893 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 The work permit issue always gets me. Someone's willing to pay £10M+ for a player's service, and he can't get a work permit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.F. 1,484 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Doria already has a one cap for Brazil which could help him to get a work permit, hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
