Keirrison (Curitiba)

Dont most speak Portuguese? I dont do geography but you do the math.

if not mistaken, only brazilian speaks portuguese...most of them speaks spanish

Fair do's then.

Keirrison is Brazilian anyway, so i dont see why he'd have priority.

Keirrison reminds me a lot of Torres.

Keirrison reminds me a lot of Torres.

In what way?

From what i have seen of Keirrison he is a totally different player to Torres, more skill and the things you associate with the Brazilians.

Also Nando is good in the air where as Keirrison isn't and Keirrison's pace is no where near that of Torres'.

I have seen Keirrison a number of times, he is a great finish in the box, that is his best attribute but he needs to work on holding up the balls, passing of the ball and movement within build up play all needs to improved to take it to the next level.

Here is a scout report from SSN, gives you some more info on the player.

"Youngest ever played to finish top-scorer in Brazilian top-flight"

"Keirrison is a proven goalscorer, who will only get better - and scouts of Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan and Liverpool are not issuing glowing reports back to their bosses for no reason."

"Could easily move in the summer, although would benefit from another year in South America. An outside bet to make Brazil's World Cup squad next year."

The lad has been in terrible form recently, after the great start of the season, but he is really young and a very good finisher. Like Adam said, he needs to get better in other aspects of the game, be more involved in the plays not only to finish, but he probably has a bright future ahead of him.

Could be off to Barca if SSN are to be believed.

All the press in Brazil is saying he is going to Barça for 15 million euros... some sources say they will loan him to Valencia as part of a deal for Villa.

never herd of him

 Barcelona To Sign Keirrison

Barcelona have announced an agreement to sign Brazilian striker Keirrison in a deal worth £12m subject to a medical this Friday. This news will disappoint Rafa Benitez who had been tracking the youngster for some time and failed with a move in the January transfer window. The deal with the European champions could rise to £14m depending on first team appearances.

Rafa Benitez made a late failed January deadline day move for young Brazilian striker known as Keirrison de Souza Carneiro or just plain Keirrison for short. He was seen as a direct replacement for Tottenham bound Robbie Keane but the move failed to come off and were Liverpool hoping to wrap up a deal this summer. However, it would seem that Rafa is set to miss out on another transfer target as Barcelona look set to sign the talented marksman.

Keirrison told Sport.es, “I’m really happy to be joining Barcelona.”

“I’d be happy going out on loan as it would help me get to know European football better.

“I have no problems with this. I accept that there’s room for me to improve on my arrival.

“I know I have the level to succeed in Barcelona.”
