.Cee 50 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 "Mineiro is a player I need because I lost Essien for six months and only John Mikel Obi is there for us," said the Chelsea manager. "He won't play this week, but maybe after 10 days he will play. "He needs to play in the reserve team and needs some time, but that is good for me because he gives me some options. "We would miss Deco, it would not be good news. But it's hard to say at the moment (how bad the injury is)." http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_4176346,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,363 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Is he any good ? Never heard of him tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I wouldn't say he's fantastic but he is certainly a solid player. Used to play for Hertha in the Bundesliga. Has worked with LFS before so I assume Scolari knows what he's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliott 7 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 We've gotten him because Scolari knows about him. It's much the same as us getting Hilario in cause Mourinho knew about him. I wonder what number he will wear. Scolari has described him as similar to Makelele in attitude and role, so maybe he'll just take the number 4 role. The deal is only for the season by the way.

Elliott 7 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Haha. Well we'll see. I guess 4 is a bit too senior for a bit part player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 10,227 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 good luck to him, i wonder when scolari will give him his first run out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 i trust Scolari in is transfer-policy he made a few, but very good signings.. about Mineiro, even tho he is way to old , he said : "If the fans remember Makelele, Mineiro is the same" (or something like that...) so, he won´t play that much, but good to have someone on the bench "just in case" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 That's my source lol. But you should have noticed Franco has a shirt that says 27 on Mineiro is actually the number 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wes 7,212 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 BRAZILIAN ace Mineiro signed for Chelsea last week after being turned down by Arsenal. The Gunners staged a match against Fulham at their London Colney training ground especially to have a look at midfielder Mineiro, 33, who had been released by Hertha Berlin. But Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger had seen enough by the interval and did not watch the second half. http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/sport/article34894.ece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
