    Very similar to his older brother, Thiago. Thiago is better at everything pretty much, except pace, Rafinha seems to be faster. Rafinha plays as an attacking mid, sometimes Lucho throws him at the right wing.

    I hope you are right. Although I don't want us to get a ton more Spaniards, this Brazilian/Spanish one I would like to have on the team.

    Any Dutch football fans want to give me a rundown of Memphis Depay? Seems like United are interested in him. I've only seen him make a couple of appearances in the WC so I don't really have a concrete opinion on him.

    What's he like? How likely is he going to Man United? Good move for both parties?

    Robben with a possible comeback tonight, would be huge. Everyone thought he'd be out for many more weeks.

    Interesting. Rafinha is a Portuguese name, and Alcantara probably Spanish

    Alcantara is the mother's name.

    His full name is Rafael Alcântara do Nascimento, and Thiago shares the same full name as well. Their father is Brazilian which is where the do Nascimento comes from.

    Apparently bookies are banking on Klopp replacing Branden Rodgers at Liverpool. I don't see Rodgers making it past this season if we fail to make the CL. He and the management should be held accountable for their utter garbage transfer purchases.

    Robben out, sucks.

    @Jontro: Think it'll be between City and Liverpool. Arsenal would also make sense, but don't think Wenger leaves this summer.

    Don't forget their father is Mazinho who was part of the 1994 Brazil World Cup Squad that won the trophy.
