SpooneyDM Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Most cheap DC's that possess solid defensive capability usually come with very poor speed, not this lad, for a tiny 35k from Qatari club Al-Jaish, this ball playing brazilian can be yours. Ok, so maybe he aint a world beating DC, but he is pretty damn solid and great value for money, and his 14 acceleration and pace is fantastic in the world of DC's. He has some great ball playing attributes too, including his passing, first touch, dribbling, composure, technique. He is a non-EU national though so getting a work permit may be hard But overall for 35k, you cant go wrong can you? Anyone else snapped him up?

SpooneyDM Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 After his continuing amazing performances and this news article... ...Juventus and PSG now have "major interest" in him, I then realized i got him on a contract with a min fee of 500k for foreign clubs, so now i am scrambling to sign him on a new 4mil min fee contract, to force them to pay 4mil for him in January if they decide to get him off me. And if I sell him for 4mil, than that will be over 114 times more than what I paid for him only 6 months earlier, not bad Id love to keep him though, I can play him alongside any donkey DC atm and he does so much that his partner doesnt have to do anything. Great player, would love to know if anyone has got him performing well in a better league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMLF Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 He was one of the best central defenders in Brazil (in real life) when he was sold to the Mideast. Funnily enough, in real life he has been linked to PSG too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Did he get a work permit for you guys? Looks quality! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossini Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Great find, if only he was a bit stronger and a bit better in the air, although this can easily be worked on in training. I have just signed Sol Bamba for 1.5 million who is commanding and pacey, but with his marking at only a 12, I wish I went for Martins instead! I will probably still go for Martins anyway and Bamba can play an anchor man role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Really nice solid CB. So inexpensive and good enough quality that my scouts and Assistant Manager rated him as a good signing for Leverkusen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpooneyDM Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Bah, im being forced to sell him after the second season for his £4million min fee, and he wont consider renewing his contract. Still though signed for 35k, thats a lot of profit ill be making for just two seasons at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Are people just using him as a centre defender? He has been poor to average at best for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I brought in him with Ajax for cover and he didn't get enough matches for his liking. He played well enough and I started to play him more, but in December of the first season, Milan came in with a whopping $60k bid, which I attempted to negotiate rather than turn down. They walked and Martins got unhappy. He asked for a chat and I told him I'd sell him when a reasonable offer came in but he got petulant. And his response since has been some awful performances. I gave him a warning after he managed a 5.40 rating and was responsible for a goal in a cup match, and he shocked me by accepting the warning. Good player and a great value but he seems a bit tough to deal with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
