Denilson

Bruce Wayne · January 5, 2009

The former Brazilian winger who was once sold to Betis for some 50 million Euros. He's currently a free agent having been released by Palmeiras. He's only 31 so would have a few years left in him I should think. Worth a punt to add a bit of flair to the midfield?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociedade_Esportiva_Palmeiras

He's been injured to [Poor language removed] but I would on a free....

Well, on Footy Manager I would.

Promised so much, but delivered so little Bruce, doesnt seem to be the type of charicter to enjoy an indian summer career wise. Unfortunately like some Brazilian players their talent seems to have given away to the trappings of fame.

I'm not to fond on Denilson. Guess there's a reason why he has been released by Palmeiras.

Looks like this boy has fallen out of love with Football, i smell another AVDM, but he clearly has talent and we know superMoyes can unlock hidden talent.

Gotta be worth a little sniff and pay as you play contract.

He's another brazillian pre-madonna really. Reading up on him before (on wiki) I remember him years ago because he was touted as one of the worlds most expensive players at the time. But all that probably went to his head, like it always does. Says on wiki that every club he went to he wanted stupid wages, so when the club didnt want to pay him, his performances dropped and then eventually got dropped from the teams - even Dallas FC or whatever FFS haha.

Yeh just what we need, an injury prone player, we dont have nearly enough of them

I watched him play several times for FC Dallas and the American commentators simply hated him. Denilson always had the ball for a long time and would occasionally do joga bonito moves (the commentators would always say "just pass the ball!" or "theres no need for that")

Personally I enjoyed watching a talented brazilian...anyway I could not see him in a Premier League outfit regarding his current form with other clubs.

This thread must be a joke right..? The last thing we need is more injury plagued player!!

No Thanx...!!

He'll either end up in the A-League down in Oz as a marquee player, somewhere like Qatar/Saudi/UAE for a fat paycheck or at Bunyodkor in Uzbekistan with his former Brazil teammate Rivaldo.
