    at the moment or best player is Salvio....great form so far! (we bought him this year for €13M, he has been here on load 2years ago). Rodrigo is still very young but has scored almost every game this year and Cardozo is the same old.....doesn´t play * but always scores.

    Our main concern is the defence without Luisão. Garay is top class and Melgarejo attacks very very well. But all the others are just reasonable, including Melgarejo defending. Matic is a different player than Javi Garcia, he is better with the ball but not as agressive as Javi defending and that is good for the other teams ball possession. Let´s see how it goes......

    I bet you play a lot of Football Manager!!

    Cardozo isn´t the kind of player that most people like....he is not that good besides the great shooting and finishing. He still is one of the players with more goals in Benfica´s history.

    As we always say....Cardozo doesn´t play *...but always scores

    I like his style of play, big, strong, not slow, some shot and a great finisher.

    Quality big player.

    My local pub will be no doubt full of * united fans watching their game while me and my dad will be stuck in the corner with no sound on the small screen watching us.. Still can't wait for it though!

    No Celtic pubs at all mate? Can you not get yourself hooked up with some CSC for the game? I'm sure they wouldn't mind having you.
    At least your Da supports Celtic, mine despises them!

    He has one of the best shots i´ve seen and finish too but Cardozo is more than slow......he has only 2gears: Slow and Slowest!

    He is like a crane moving!

    I actually think it's easier for Brazilians to get WP in Portugal (duo to some factors, like the language). They don't get Portuguese passport (even though some have), but instead they get work permit fairly easy in Portugal - they cannot therefore work in another European country without another work permit in that country. A Portuguese passport would mean that you could work anywhere in Europe, but that is not the case with the newly arrived Brazilian players in Portugal.

    To be fair I'm picturing him against Jamie Carragher or Gary Caldwell when I picture his pace.

    Don't get to catch much Portuguese football.

    Although, can't be slower than Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink!

    Its not just brazilians they can sign. They can sign any south americans. Their whole academy is full of south americans and they always sell for big money. Same with Porto, their whole youth system is full of south americans, something we cant do so we will never be able to emulate that. Benfica have a huge following and are reportedly the best supported team in the world. How they work that out ill never know.
