I know Dru wants no more player threads but this guy is star of serie B and available on a free in summer. Aka, this one is realistic. Upon watching him, he could be a steal for depth. Young, quick.

He's scored 22 goals this season however 10 are PKs. He also has 5 assists.

He's from Criciúma Esporte Clube which is a small provincial club in lower teirs of Brazilian football which is why he probably wasn't discovered.


Here are some highlights I dug up....
If you want more here are lineups from all matches, you can see next to line up if he had a goal or assist and then youtube the match, lega calcio posts them all: http://www.football-lineups.com/footballer/7596/

Scored first 4 goals v. Salernitana, 2 were pks (though he did earn 2nd one)... 4th goal was nicest..


2 goals/motm v. lecce. First was PK he earned


vs. Mantova.... assists 3rd, scored 4th which was (wow)


vs. Cittadella, first and 3rd goals for Empoli.... 1 was a pk he which he earned



I'm also interested in this empoli CF. He looks 50 w/ his horseshoe baldness

 

[Sage]

why not, cant be worse than what we already have.

 

[Thanks]

would love to have, imagine him on the bench....carnt be any worse than pippo, what do ppl think about his chances of being around next season?

 

[dhorasoo]

he's at 23 goals this serie b, scored last weekend a free kick.

 

[SpartanMilan]

Considering we currently have Mancini as a backup, I would love to see this guy get a chance here. He is still young, and he has played well in the league he plays in. For a free transfer I think it would be a great deal

 

[RossoneroTifoso]

He looks very good. 23 years old and will be cheap, both assist and goal were excellent, if were not going to sing anyone over 10k we might as well sign him, young + talented = good purchase.

 

[Dzidzius]

this is a type of depth I would like Us start getting.
with season long, injuries, coppa italia and tours I am sure he could havea chance to play few games. Anyway that is how Abate came out before this season as a potential first team choice.

can`t be worse that what we have already.
Watching Janku and Mancini sitting on the bench makes me feel bad.

Besides if all the deals fall apart and we end up only with Yepes and Astori and Galliani anounces Onyewu and Mancini as new players. That guy could prove a our transfer hit.

Exactly. Abate was one of the top players in Serie B last season. This guy is the Best! He would be a great signing as he is cheap and young. + He is Brazillian so he would we could field a this forward 3:

---Dinho---Pato----Eder

Nice Brazillian Trio there

The signings that we are rumoured with at the moment (mancini, Camoranasi, trezuegay & cacau) are absoloute shite compared to Eder. He is younger, better and more talented the all of them. We could probably sign Eder, Aogo, Toloi for aroun 25m. And we would then have 3 very young + talented players to challenge for starting XI spots.

 

[SixOneFive]

Exactly. Abate was one of the top players in Serie B last season.

Abate played for Torino last year. They were in Serie A.

 

[anilak]

Tony was Serie B top scorer before he came and lighted up Serie A.Wen Milan go knockin to a guy playin in Serie A, no way is he goin to say no. I think he will be here. So I am hopin he will be a steal for us.

He is a CF from what I heard, so no idea y already he is in many winger formation. But I'd be delighted if he get him instead of Trezegay, Camonaresi and Mancini permanent move and Pippo extension. Atleast it's a move forward If he can play winger also all the more better.

 

[RossoneroTifoso]

Abate played for Torino last year. They were in Serie A.

 

[Dzidzius]

I meant Leo started playing him on wing pre-season and he was actually better perfoming then many our players.

Same can happen to Eder - if not next year regular first team, he would at least get a hance - specially after WC, ad if free can join Us whithin weeks and go to USA too.

 

[Patri]

Recently, this move seems to have fallen away. I heard somewhere that Galliani must be trying to sign Eder from the 82 Brazil team.

 

[Revolution]

Supposedly, we've had no contact whatsoever with Eder.

 

[anilak]

I was keen on him as I first thought he's free. But for 8 million, surely we can get better players like one of those young high pottential midfielders/defenders or even Leon we were linked to earlier.

so he is still under contract?

so he is still under contract?

Yes he is, and they aren't going to let go of him very easily
