Erm ok then....?
Would he actually get in the team though? What with Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard all fighting for those central midfield roles. Not to mention Butt, Cole, Parker, Phil Neville (LMAO hahaha).

If I remember his transfer saga correctly, I don't think he has a brazilian passport either ;)
THe football in the brazil league is actually very good even if they are permanetnly diving to get 25 yard free kicks! I actually watch quite a few brazilian league matches last season (and i expect many of you will lie and claim the same!) and they are exciting, quality matches. Maybe not the same quality as the prem but that is to be expected as its not the most attractive prospect for imports.
Think he took 'somthing' before he gave that interview!
And plenty of players have played for seperate countries; for example, due to his ancestry and regular changes of civitizenship in the mixed up world of the late 1940s, Alfredo di Stefanio played for Columbia, Spain, Uruguay and Argentina. Plus Ferenck Puskas, one of the greates tforwards ever, played 4 games for Spain after being exiled from Hungary by the Communists.
Quite a setback. :)
