Dirty Transfer Rumors – Nilmar
By: Chuck | July 22nd, 2009Ronaldo and Kaka were so two weeks ago. We’re all still laughing at the £25 million splashed on Adebayor. FIFA’s major transfer drama goes to the supposed Ibra-Eto’o swap–which received a cover story on NYT this afternoon.
As for Bundesliga, I suppose the biggest move of the last few weeks has been Lúcio transferring from Bayern to Inter. For my two cents, Bayern is foolish to let go of such class defenders without investing into more youth; this opens a starting spot for Breno, which could make Bayern pretty weak defensively for the year.
Die Wölfe looks to have some movement in transfers too. As I posted earlier, we’ve made some solid midfield reinforcements with Ziani and Kahlenburg, however, we’re looking to bolster our attack (as we shouldn’t put all of our striking options in the hands of Grafite and Džeko).
Our prospect: Nilmar Honorato da Silva, or more simply, Nilmar.
Nilmar, 25, currently plays for Internacional, where he started his career. He signed for Lyon, had a mediocre first season, was loaned out to Corinthians and when he returned to Lyon–despite a good season in Brazil–he found himself playing fifth-fiddle behind four established forwards in Fred, Sylvain Wiltord, Milan Baroš, and Sidney Govou.
Corinthians owed him two million dollars in back wages, so he opted out of his contract. Since, Nilmar has played for his old club Internacional and has been the prospect of many top European clubs. Most notably, a hot prospect for Manchester United after the Ronaldo deal. This would be a prudent signing, but our management remains tight-lipped. More when the story breaks.

And in case you wanted to see him in action:

A successful individual typically sets his next goal somewhat but not too much above his last achievement. In this way he steadily raises his level of aspiration.

The person who makes a success of living is the one who see his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication.
