Essien to be replace by Mineiro?!

[juzgotlucky]

wait... do i need to to fret? As Scolari confirmed that he would be bringing in Brazilian Mineiro as midfield cover of Michael Essien. Essien is out for 6 months...

I never see this guy on the field yet but is he really good to replace Essien (i guess for the meantime)

He might not be exactly like Essien but he is a damn good player. Has shown to intergrate well in the Bundesliga and was a key to the great run of Sao Paulo in the Brazilian league and Copa Libertadores all the way to Tokyo. He wasn't of Dunga's preference for the National Team, but was pressured to include him as he is quality, by folks way smarter than Dunga. If I was a Chelsea fan I would be very happy to have him available.

i think he's not a bad player he might be currently a free agent but i think Mineiro is the one they needed to cover Essien absence.
