Johnny Warren (deceased) a legion in OZ football, and perhaps the most respected person of all time in OZ football was asked in a panel discussion what is the difference between a local park player and an international player.

John said I like the answer given by (I forget who he said) it is the art of doing the same thing only faster and with more control.

Felipe does it faster and more control than anyone in the A-league to date. He also is that rare player that is exciting watch as you wonder what will he do, run, pass etc. Like Ryan Giggs (not suggesting same class) he brings crowds to there feet each time he has the ball at his feet. At Gosford he was only on the park for the last 20 minutes, but he cut us up real bad and all the talk after that match was not the 3 nil, but who is that Felipe and thank God he was not on from the start.

Even through I follow the true yellow team (Mariners) I hope you keep Felipe in the A-League and don�t loose him like Victory lost Fred last year. Sign him up and at worst you will get a big transfer fee but don�t let him be a one year player. The A-league to grows needs to entertain and Felipe sure does that.
