Best Player Roles:

Has anyone tried this player before? He has amazing attributes for a 20 year old and can only develop further.

Facts:

Sandro (full name Sandro Ranieri Guimarães Cordeiro) is a defensive midfielder currently playing for Internacional. He made his debut for Brazil as a substitute in a World Cup qualifier against Chile on 9 September 2009. Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has openly declared interest in him and last had a £14M bid rejected.

On 26 March 2010, Tottenham Hotspur confirmed that a deal for Sandro had been completed, and he will join up at the end of Internacional's Copa Libertadores campaign.

Yeah, he's a great player. Stats don't look too good in the OP though... I'd say he'd be good at the start for a mid/low Prem team, like Blackburn or Bolton. After a few years I think he'll be good enough for teams like Villa, Spurs, Everton etc.

Pretty expensive. I'm using Spurs and try signing him but the asking price is about 10-12 million.

I've paied 16,5 M euros for him as Juventus and he plays great as central midfielder and ball winning midfielder, quite expensive but he's young and promising.

Ahh i thought my football knowledge was great, yet I haven't heard of this fella, he looks great though.

If he was cheap (and by the looks of it, he isn't) I would look into signing him for Portsmouth.

His stats aren't brilliant and he's one footed. He's not worth what you have to pay to get him.

Deleted for not reading OP.

end of demo screenshot , his stats increased a little in just half of season and he is already labeled as "wonderkid" , he's expensive indeed but he can be used as a first team player even at big club from the start so with 16M euros you buy a first team player for the next 12 years at least, he most likely has a PA over 180.

ive just had a 9m bid accepted, but hes not my first choice, im trying to get sissoko from toulouse, but there asking for around 20m

9 mill for Sandro is an amazing price! Ive never got cheaper then 18 mill?

anyone know what facepack the opening poster is using? cheers

This is a main gripe for me. It should be 'easy' for Spurs to sign him or at the very least take him on loan considering the 'relationship' between the two clubs.

I wonder if Harry has actually had his scouts watch him or whether he saw his stats in the game and wondered whether's he's worth signing? He certainly looks promising

Spurs have a partnership with them. The original rumour was that the transfer story was a cover-story for Spurs being in Brazil to get the partnership with Internacional. But since then its obvious that their kids and players will come over here on loan to aid them to settle into European life and we will have some form of first option on signing their players.

It's now quite possible that something (IRL) has been sorted for Jan.

Can you get a work permit for him for an English team? He does look like one for the future. If I was, say, Valencia, I would sign him and loan him out to build up his experience. He looks like he would be a good long-term buy to replace the likes of Baraja and Albelda.

He's a nailed down first teamer for Internacional and one of the best talents in world football. If I was Internacional, I would keep hold of him until after the World Cup - he might get in the team and show what he can do on the big stage. This'll make his price tag shoot up. The fact Internacional is a feeder club of The Hotspuds has nothing to do with it because he's a first teamer - why would they loan him out when they can get just under £20m for him?

That`s wird. I got him for 6,5 M.

How do you view the "Best Player Roles"???

How do you view the "Best Player Roles"???

It's in the tactic screen, when you click on a player to change roles and duties, the attributes appear at the bottom and key attributes for the role are highlighted. My general rule is that a player who has 15+ in each of these will do very well.

I signed Sandro on loan for Celtic with an initial fee of £1.1M and a future fee of £7.5M. Bargain?

Thanks alot!!

i bought him with west ham, about £5.5m, doing well so far, only played a few games though. could easily be the star player in my team in a season or two.

I got him for Celtic for £9m.

I might parter him with Hernanes in the DM ( 4-2-3-1) what do you think?

Signed him for £10 million for Barca, he settled in well and is being tutored by Yaya Toure. He's done really well in the Anchor Man role fwiw

He's very good for me, having a few problems keeping him fit though.

i signed him for tottenham an playin him beside huddlestone as the ball winning midfielder was a really good partnership, certainly wud want him in any team i am

He is the star man in my Man Utd side always averaging quite highly and never missed a Premiership game for me last season!

i've bought him for my arsenal team. thinking about retraining him for defender though, since i don't have much cover there.

Bargain?

That is a good deal!

I can get him for £4 million but they wont give me a work permit for him and theres not even an appeal

It's Hotspurs you tool.

It's Hotspur.

It's Hotspur.

I think he was joking...anyway you're both wrong its spuds

Funny that John Smith posts all these players, but never returns to the thread to comment or add anything

If the threads are alive, I don't see the need to have a nice little post quota every day.

9 mill for Sandro is an amazing price! Ive never got cheaper then 18 mill?

brought him on several games for 250k plus 5 million over 48 months

Bought him for my liverpool save for abt 10m. Guess the price varies from game to game.

Now rotating him between Mascherano and Veloso on my 4-2-3-1 formation. Excellent anchor man. Scored a few long shots even if his stats are quite low for that.

Definately 1 for the future.

I bought him for 4.8 million in my Tottenham game, I guess I will have to think of how to utilise him.

I see a lot of people actually bought this guy, any good experiences with him?

Fantastic player. I rotated him, Defour and Sandro in the CM/DM position in my Villa save and he was really good, broke up play, started counters, popped up with a few important goals too.

He's been improved with the new patch as well.

Probably more expensive though.

Cost me £15million, hes been great as a box to box midfielder for my Celtic side.

Improved significantly with the patch cost me $23.5 mil but well worth it for Milan. Hopefully with quality tutoring from Gattuso he'll be world class.

A definite buy after the second patch. He's got everything to become the perfect midfielder. He only lacks long shot power.

Sandro, after the 10.2 patch, at the beginning of a new game:

Big bob,

I have taken the liberty of adding your screenie to the OP. Hope you don't mind.

He could also be retrained into a good DC by the looks of it.

Solid squad player. Has decent energy in the middle but he's another one of those annoying players who get really tired easily, despite not having that poor fitness attributes. Rafinha is the same, good stamina and natural fitness but every game he finishes in the low-ish 70% condition and the next game he's lower 90's/higher 80's, pretty annoying to be honest.

Played him with Delph on me & my mate's Liverpool season, he done well but he's not the best going forward.

on 10.1, do people find him best as a defensive midfielder or a box to box one?

im undecided at mo only had him 4 games but he hasnt shone yet

thanks

More towards a box to box than an outright DM.

yup.. has more then enough attacking prowess in him to let him be a box to box

thanks guys
