Don't have a clue about this guy in all honesty, but the rumours have picked up over the past couple of days. Anyone know much about him?

He's a good defensive midfielder, not the best out there but he'll be a useful addition to the squad.

With Romeu's future at Chelsea unclear, bringing in someone that can compete with Mikel & Ramires for a starting role isn't such a bad idea.

If Malouda is to go to Santos, then he won't be much bad of a choice We should get him.

MORE BRAZILIANS

Make Neymar feel at home

[kristoffertorgersen 2]

I want to give Oriol a chance.

Is he a DM? or a CM? I heard he is very good though. I really want him to start today to see how he does against a good opponent like Japan.

[themightyblue 443]

Apparently he competes with Ramires for a spot in the pivot for brazil as romulo is injured. So he'd probably be in competition with Ramires and lamps rather than Romeu and Mikel

Well, according to various sources, Paulinho will be starting for Brazil against Japan today.

Brazil XI to face Japan: Diego Alves, Adriano, Luiz, Silva, Castan, Paulinho, Ramires, Kaka, Oscar, Neymar, Hulk.

Should of had another when he round the keeper and shot, just went wide. He has been very impressive though, along with Neymar

Corinthians distance Paulinho from speculation linking him with Chelsea

Apparently a very good player, hes breaking into the Brazil team and has been key for club for a season or two so maybe it would be a good time for him to leave. Also Brazilian so the more we get hopefully Neymar will eventually come here too

[DDA 9,690]

Who next.... Barryinho ?

[Rmpr 8,977]

He is a CM, he would compete against Rambo and Lampard.

In Corinthians he plays along with Ralf (DM). It is very similar with last year ManCity, Barry (Ralf) and Yaya (Paulinho). He also knows how to score.

He is very good, but I dont know if he will adapt to England and if it is good for us to accumulate so many players from one country. It would bad for Chelsea and for Brazil.

In Mano Menezes Brazil, it is basically Lucas Leiva/Sandro/Romulo fighting for DM role and Paulinho/Ramires/Hernanes for CM role. Luiz Gustavo and Arouca might be in the run too, but they are behind in this point in time.

I personally rank him very high, but I am not sold it would be a great sign.
