Mate I run a Sunday football team and we would turn down Kaka. He's just too old and hasnt played enough to warrant a starting place. Too risky for Sunday pub football and just not what we need.

Double agree. Also the man can take a free kick and a penalty which puts him one up on most of our strikers!

They were never convincing though, always pathetic sidefoots not very far into the corner that are liable to being saved. Don't know too much about Cardozo, we seem to be linked to him by someone every summer!
I'm absolutely gutted Cazorla to Arsenal looks to be a certainty now, he really is a brilliant player, was quietly hoping someone else (US for example..) would go in for him. Arsenal will be much, much more of a threat with him in the team and will probably finish above us. Giroud will not definitely succeed and I don't rate Podolski, but there's no way Cazorla won't be a hit IMO. Seriously hope I'm wrong.

No he's not.
Cardozo is still behind Roque Santa Cruz (as well as first choice pairing Barrios and Valdez) in the Paraguay pecking order.
Cardozo is a classic "SPL forward".

Always impressed me more on the left for Porto than Hulk ever used to on the right. Not sure we really need a left-sider though with Bale.
Think Varela and Cardozo are just very lazy links to obvious players in Portugual, just like all the countless random Dutch ones we got under Jol (and never signed, other than Davids)

dude, that is more or less a certainty. They have finished above us since 1995 i believe....
I'm going to flame out here I know but my nephew (connected?yes) says we will announce the signing on Friday. We have several appointments to finalise but he is adamant 'the one' /'that one' will be announced Friday. I trust him obviously as he is family, but he has got things 'on the head' before. I have no idea who he is talking about. Siggy is mustard though isn't he?

They were utter brick for half of last season even with RVP.
I definitely think we can finish above them this year, but signing Cazorla while we, desperately in need of a striker, (appear to) sit on our arses is very disconcerting.
Without RVP they will be greatly weakened, although less than many may predict. I think they'll come 4th at least this year, and unless we make some serious signings soon, above us for sure.
Best wishes.

true, but its them and us. last season was our chance. cant see them being dog brick again, they actually have a good squad. Yes VP saved them, but they will always score goals no matter who is playing. can never see them being outside the top 4.
I agree, but we can come above them nonetheless. At the moment Chelsea, Arsenal and us would appear to be the main contenders for 3rd-5th. Chelsea have made lots of signings and its unclear how well/quickly they'll bed in, Arsenal's attack is going through transition and if it doesn't succeed straight away they might drop a few points early on, also their defence is not particularly convincing. I think we're outsiders but we have to believe while we still can, for all we know we'll be rock bottom in October and it'll be 2008 all over again!
I do but they're naughty
