Kerlon "The Seal" to Inter

SAF out - this is worse than Benzema, Kaka etc not coming here
 
I would just like to point out at no point did I say we should have gone for him, just that I was suprised we weren't linked with him, seeing as we are with vurtually every other Brazillian player.
 
I remember him being linked with us from years ago, ah here we go.

England Manchester United close in on young Brazilian starlet sensation Kerlon Moura Souza, the man dubbed "the new Ronaldinho"

18/05/2006: Manchester United are close to agreeing a £6million deal for young Brazilian sensation Kerlon Moura Souza. The club is desperate to boost its squad in order to challenge Chelsea for the Premiership title next season.
And they see the 18-year-old Cruzeiro attacking starlet as the perfect man to add star quality to their ranks.
A United delegation flew to South America this week to meet officials from the club, according to a newspaper report in the UK. It claims United are hopeful of signing the man dubbed "the new Ronaldinho" in the next few days.
United have also inquired about signing Edu Dracena, the 24-year-old Cruzeiro captain and central defender.
"We are always ready to listen to offers for Kerlon," Zezé Perrella, the Cruzeiro vice-president, told The Times. "We have had a lot of interest in him and we have been in close contact with an English team, but right now we are not there on the money."
Kerlon is understood to have caught the eye of United manager Alex Ferguson while playing for Brazil in the South American under-17 Championship in Venezuela last year. PA

I think we were pretty serious about considering him before he suffered that nasty ACL injury.
 
Think he was already co-owned by Inter before.
 
Had he been an English talent, he would probably be a rare one to be scouted by teams along the coast, like Sunderland.


Should I get my coat?

Guess this only goes to show Inter's connections with Chievo.

Exactly.. We all knew that his transfer to Chievo was a transfer that Inter instigated.. iirc they had to meet their non-European quota and thus couldn't take him directly yes?
 
I reckon he'll be loaned out to the San Diego Seaworlds, a new MLS team.
 
A legend. I hope he's the half-time star attraction at the WC opener.
