Doodoo

Sorry, just had to get your attention, but it is relevant. When Thierry Henry was first sold to Barcelona, people expected Arsenal to buy big, and buy expensive with names like Eto'o or Carlitos
Tevez being mentioned. Instead, today Arsenal bought DooDoo, oh well, his nickname is Dudu.
His real name is Eduardo Alves da Silva Silva, and he's 24 years old. He's a Croation by Nationality and by Club, since he comes to Arsenal from Dinamo Zagreb, but by birth as the name explains he
is most definitely Brazilian. He was born in Rio, played for amongst others a Bangu Atleticu in Rio, but emigrated to Croatia at the age of 15 looking for a place, like many other Brazilians today,
in a country that needed his services. There are many Brazilians playing today as naturalized citizens in Mexico, Italy, Spain and even Japan for that matter.
He played 6 years for Dinamo and then loaned out to Inter (Zaprecic not Milan) for a year, and in 119 games in Croatia he has scored 83 goals. He has also played in 12 games for 7 goals
internationally for the Croats mainly as a second half substitute.
It seems all well and good, another in the line of nameless international players that have settled first to Highbury and now to Ashburton Grove, but I guess I'm disappointed as an Arsenal
Fan.
My question is, "If we needed Kaka why did we settle for Du Du?"

Probably, he is the "star power" that arsenal fans were looking for....hahahahahah...Dooodooo! (I liked it, because it makes the exactly portuguese pronunciation). Now, Arsenal is going to be richier
than ever as Doodooo will send a lot of shirts in Zagreb...
absolutely, season tickets have been sold out for the next 10 seasons, and nike factories have shut down with the demand for Arsenal shirts with "da Silva" on the back. In fact Jose Mourinho, Alex
Ferguson and Rafa Benitez are all considering retiring from football because they cannot compete with a team that has Dudu da Silva in it. hopefully some more signings are on the way. ""If we needed
Kaka why did we settle for Du Du?"" - read that in one of the newspapers today as well!
