We seem to be endlessly linked with young players who are going to be the next big thing. Must say that the young Brazllian on the wing for Shaktar did catch the eye on Tuesday night (Tete?). Shaktar do seem to have a knack for siginging good Brazillians - and then selling them!

There are also the not so good Brazilian players that Shakhtar have sold

Remember the free kick he scored against Newcastle? One of the best I've ever seen.

Yep also remember Hughes saying he wasn't a team player. This about a guy who when we were short through injuries played full back under Sven and Hughes didn't support him when he was designated penalty taker and either sturidge or evans put the ball in the spot and took it quickly.

Hughes managerial record speaks for itself. I thought Sven did a great job getting us up and running after Pearce. I still have my shirt signed by Sven!

correct lee it was Sturridge who grabbed the ball for the penalty
