That's a bargain dude.

Manure just payed more than that for a mediocre central midfield player!

Milan is now rumoured with Rafael Augusto Sobis of Internacional Porto Alegre

Does anyone know who he is?

Rafael Sorbis?

Captain of the Brasil U-20s (used to be, not sure anymore)

An up-and-coming RB if I remember correctly. He was considered one of the better players that graced Holland in 2005 for the World Youth Championships, but I don't know where he's gone now since I haven't heard of him lately. Brasilian football fans don't even have him on their talent-radar anymore

Doesen't sound like it would be a good signing

I have my doubts about him too <_<

He's to similar to Crouch, Liverpool needs a pure goal scorer

He's not similar to Crouchy. They might even make a good partnership.

Kuijt is good, but nothing too special and I feel

It'd be good to have a 20+ striker that is well-rounded and not too expensive, but they're hard to find at the moment. Rafa doesn't want that either I assume. Ideally, he's bulding a team that has the ability to score from anywhere and the midfield is used a lot in attacks with the strikers playing a more supporting-role compared to other systems where the forward line is considered the main threat. That is not to say we use our forward line purely as support, but rather that they should function with an eye on creating opportunities and tackling down as well as scoring.

Kuijt is good because he works hard for the team and he can be used as a target-man. In that respect he is like Crouchy and personally I treasure his abilities like vision and creating assists rather than his shooting. He's well-rounded and can be a threat and from what I've seen, but his shooting leaves much to be desired (I didn't get to watch him at all last season though. Has he gotten any better?)

He's not similar to Crouchy. They might even make a good partnership.

I think a Kuijt-Bellamy partnership would work best. I've based that on what I've seen of him (which is out-of-date). Do you want to provide an updated analysis on Kuijt for me?

The man basically was a one-man team for Feyenoord last season. The only one who provided them with goals.

And I like his technical ability. He has a functional technique, he knows what he can and cannot do, and he usually makes the right decision in every situation. One of the smartest strikers out there, imho.

That being said, no one knows how he'll adapt to the English game. But previous Dutch imports in the striker department haven't been that dissapointing, have they? (RVN, Lord Dennis, even Van Persie).

Are we talking physically, romantically or just footballistically.

From what I've seen, he's well-rounded and good around the box. I haven't seen enough footage to evaluate his decision making, but I've seen him lay-off some awesome assists with his vision and awareness. As long as we supply him with chances he'll do alright I guess, but from the goals I've seen, they're not very good. Hopefully he's changed all that and has learnt to aim.

I value his other contributions more than goal-scoring, hence why I'd play him more as a SS if given the choice. But apparently I've been misinformed

Milan is now linked with Tevez

Him and Cassano would be my #1 choices to replace Sheva

I'm so happy he is staying at Milan for a while

I haven't really seen enough of Kuijt, but I still think Crouch is still Liverpool's best striker

Crouch is a cheap man's Luca Toni

He big and awkard, and defenders don't quite now how to defend him

I know but Toni can't dance like Robo-Crouch

Rafa always like to buy intelligent players :

Sheva doesn't belong in Chelsea

Sheva is class. Chelsea is anything but. <_<

You can say that again

But it did kind of piss me off a bit when I seen Sheva kiss the Chelsea shirt after scoring <_<

Valencia bought Tavano, and are now close to Joaquin

My mistake. There were 2 Rafael's in the Brasilian WYC team.

One of Rafael the RB and the other, Rafael Sobis, was a forward
