hi lads im writing an article for a website for my work experience. im compiling 2 teams. one full of the best south american imports and one with the worst. if any of you have any suggestions they would be much appreciated. (santa cruz has already been noted worry not)

Surely we have a pair up front then? Jo - RSC?

What was the name of that Brazilian feller who used to play for Newcastle in late-80's and after his career bcame pig farmer? There's got to be room for him in one of the teams. Not sure which though.

Indeed but which side to put them both in, decisions decisions ...

branco - middlesbrough
rochemback - middlesbrough
carlos marinelli - middlesbrough
boselli - wigan

berti glauber count? Robinho?vuoso?

boselli from wigan is a good one, thinking of going with a 3-4-3 for the poor side as im loaded with midfielders and a prolific strikeforce of alfonso alves boselli and either jo or santa cruz as i do not care to think who was worse at this point
thanks for the suggestions so far any more will be great

Who was that chap that Southampton played on referral a few seasons, the cousin/brother of someone else (Weah?) and he was so bad they took him off after 20mins

Mind if it was George Weah's relation stick this in the 'african prem imports' thread

I've set a template but I've struggled a bit with the shit ones. Can also only think of one keeper.

Players who've done well:

-------------------Gomes

Zabaleta------Alex---------Luiz----Heinze

Valencia----Juninho-----Gilberto Silva---Jonas

------------Asprilla------Tevez

Subs: A.Keeper, Rafael, Fabio, Elano, Coloccini, Sandro, Solano.

Shite:

------------------------Gomes

De la Cruz------Roque Junior---Caçapa-----Insúa

A.Player------Veron-----Kleberson------A.Player

----------------Jo--------A.Alves

Subs: A.Keeper, A.Player, A.Player, A.Player, A.Player, A.Player, A.Player.

Ali Dia. Senegalese.

Emerson - Not sure what you'd slot him in to, probably the rubbish one.

Kleberson - Rubbish

This will make it easier:

Success:
Gus Poyet
Mascherano
Rodallega

Flop:
Forlan
Franco di Santo

Mario Jardel

Don't think Forlan was a flop, just didn't blossom until he left the swamp. Decent prem player.

Veron, Forlan, Hernan Crespo, Gilberto, Emerson, Mario Jardel , Afonso Alves, Jo, Roque Junior - all total disasters.

Juninho, Ardiles and Tevez probably adapted best.
