The Brazilian!

The Brazilian!

Wellington Pheonix are about to conclude the signing of Hadjuik Split Brazilian midfielder Felipe Souza Campos. Campos is a classical number 10 midfielder. Campos is being introduced to the Pheonix by their Australain scout Tony Rallis who has scouted the player thru former National League player Steve Panopoulos. Panopoulos a former South Melbourne FC midfielder is now a resident of Rio De Janeiro and the person responsible for introducing Australian Player of the Year Fred to Victory last year. Panopoulos has also introduced a number of other players to Rallis for his approval.

From Rumour Mill on 442 website

Sounds promising!  Would off set the midfielders we have already signed perfectly.  Let's hope it proves to be true!!

awesome and from hajduk split must be a pretty good  player then.

Couldnt find much information about him but a picture.

Good work - he's got a wiki page but it's in Croatian

Melbourne Victory website has him listed as one of two suggested replacements for Fred as an attacking midfielder.

JUNINHO IS ON HIS WAY.. WELL HOPEFULLY :p

Well, he sounds good.

Maybe we need to combine the two threads on Brazilian signings...?

ye paulisto ive seen in real life back in scotland for celtiic, against aberdeen. hes quite good but was no replacement for larsson

If Maddaford is right in the Herald, this would seem pretty likely (unless he's getting his stories from 442.

Do we know the length of his contract??

it doesn't sound like juninho paulista.

Herbert says in that article "He has played at the same level as Daniel and is currently at a first division club in Europe."

Well, as good as Daniel sounds, he has never played in the English Premiership, and Juninho was an established national team player. And as far as I'm aware, he's not currently in Europe, as he has been playing back in Brazil.

So I would assume it is another player more in the mould of Daniel than an ex-superstar.

Sawu,

Have a read of the top post... this isn't the Juninho thread

Felipe Souza Campos from Hajduk is the man we are talking about here.

ah, true hard news

got confused with the posts about juninho in this thread.

Quote from a Hadjuk fan:

Hmm another attacking minded player...i wonder.

So Felipe De Souza Campos Has Officially signed with the nix any thoughts on him or who the next two spots will be filled by. I think one more south american and then leave thethe last spot open so the nix can experiment in the pre season cup.

Pedersen,

Where did you see the official confirmation ?

I haven't read through any of the posts on this thread, but wanted to say it is my favourite method of grooming.

on the yellow fever website

Ah, okay.  Thought I'd missed something.

Im thinking that Pheonix should look to another Australian player. Surley theyre are some class players that want a fresh start.

i never was good at reading

Hes taking the piss brother...

Cool we got two brazilians now..Both attacking players, I wonder what position the next will play.

^^is the campos signing official yet??

He is already on the Phoenix Wikipedia page as part of the squad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellington_Phoenix_FC

Jesus that was quick. Good old Wikipedia.

Yeah, who ever is doing the Phoenix page is doing a great job keeping up very well with the news.

Maybe as in..For Sure..or Maybe as in you got no Idea?

Ah ok cool...But he would be cheap though which is good...Quality players for cheap is always good.
