Yes, it's been going on like this since Tite became our manager, Brazil have had 16 different captains already or something. Tite already used to do that when he was manager of Corinthians.

I don't think it makes any difference in practice. The main job of a captain at the Brazilian national team is to lift the trophy in the end. Otherwise one can be a leader without being captain.

Yeah went there for £115k but they're in big financial problems and need to offload players and Fiorentina (who have officially bid), Parma, Atalanta and Bologna have all reported interest in the range of only £2m (good deal for them, terrible one for Celtic). I mean Bari still stand to make £1.9m but they have to sell cheaper than they'd like cos they're broke. Best hope is the four clubs enter a bidding war.
