- Thiago Silva from Flu? Hmh, I'd rather have the other Thiago, Thiago Neves. He's really good. But Silva...I'm not sure. I watched some Fluminense games this season and didn't really mention him. But their defense, except of keeper Henrique, was the worst part allways.

- No reports in Croatia about any possible Šimić transfer. No one is mentioning Espanyol.

- There are some reports suggesting a swap between Laziale Stendardo and Milanese Brocchi. I'd gladfully sign that one. Stendardo at least can try do something.

I think Thiago Silva would be a great defender. We have enough attacking midfielders so Thiago Neves would be surplus... Viudez was another attacking midfielder we just got... Thiago Silva is mentioned as a solid defender... Alex Silva plays for Sao Paolo and he's a bit cheaper, so we'll probably get him instead.

Stendardo is a name I heard. Stendardo is a defender which is what we need. I also hear Lazio is interested in Brocchi now that we have put him in part of the deal. I could never stand Brocchi... he's not a very good player for a top level team.

Stendardo in some cases reminds me of Stam... he has a very powerful build and is one strong defender...
