However, when he is played as a started, he starts disappearing around half-time and becomes invisible by the second half."
If this is true then I say, either try to develop him to be more consistent, or don't buy him.
If this is untrue... buy him.</strong><hr></blockquote>
That's the most accurate description of Denilson I have seen for a while. Very flashy player but not much else. In fact, he will do all that dribbling then feck up the pass so what's the point?
He is good for bringing in when a game is in deadlock in order to get the opposition running around like crazy trying to control him and thus opening space for OTHER players to do the business but Denilson himself won't.
It's a very nice option to have on the bench but then you would have to consider price, wages, etc.
