Sao Paolo's OFFICIAL site. And its not enough for you, here: Chelsea strike deal to sign Brazilian teenager Lucas Piazon Chelsea have reached a pre-contract agreement to sign the highly rated attacking midfielder Lucas Piazon from São Paulo when he turns 18 for a fee that could reportedly...

Earth to Albo, extreme minority of footballers are Juve fans, especially foreign players in other continents. They ALL look for the best opportunity for them, meaning best place to have a good chance to win titles and get paid well. If you dont like this kind of player, that means you barely...

Oh well, hardly suprising and unfortunate. I would say lets go for the other Lucas on Sao Paolo, but why bother, that guy is 3 times more hyped/impressive and will cost 3 times more too prolly.

When will people stop paying attention to the hyping hyperbole of club directors/presidents. Unless they are Cristiano Ronaldo, never have anyone been sold remotely close to half of what they're banded around for in the media to get attention. Especially for 17 year old youth player who will...

We missed out on Recoba (say whatever you like, was brilliant talent) despite our focus being only Uruguay, I remember being angry about that lol when I saw his Inter debute. I wont say Suarez, Forlan or Cavani because by that time, we stopped caring about Uruguay. But initially our only south...

Seems just matter of time, the passport thing, players have gotten passport quicker with less basis, as not really having italian heritage as this kid does (italian govt are pretty liberal with that, italian blood gets italian passport). Dont think we need to worry about that part. More of...

Finalize a deal now, he joins us in the summer. Nothing new. Inter bought Coutinho as 16 year old and he came when he turned 18.

No, Jack, he cant join us until summer, because he wont turn 18 in 5 days, nor will he get an italian passport in that time. Hence, we can get him in the summer at earliest.

I'm more interested in the immediate transfer window, and for us to get Alex from Spartak Moscow, but us capping Piazon for the future would be defenitely be nice.
