Oh and I think £30 odd million is to dear for a 26 year old uncapped player . Probably get vardy for less than that.

With all due respect Red j, he's not uncapped because he's poor or not good enough. I'm sure the Eds can enlighten you on how the Brazil squad is picked.

But if he was good enough he'd get into the squad wether he played in Russia or not . wasnt hulk still always in the squad? And it's not like Brazil of of yesteryear with lots of attacking quality .

{Ed001's Note - you are forgetting the Brazil team is picked by sponsors, so it is all about who is the most well known. Hulk is amongst the most well known, as well as worst, players to ever play for Brazil.}

How is the Brazil squad picked out of interest?

{Ed001's Note - the sponsor picks it.}

I have heard they only pick marketable players but didn't no how true that was . I do think if he was as good as is suggested he would of been capped even a handful of times . If we did sign him for the £30 odd million I'd love to be proved wrong .

Is it the fans or something crazy like that?

Red J, it's the sponsors to the extent that they lost the World Cup Final 98 because the sponsors demanded that semi-injured and fully injured players play over fully fit ones. It's why news of injuries in the Brazil squad always sound like the guys career is over - because if they have a 50/ 50 chance of making it the sponsors will demand that they play (like Neymars prognosis that he might miss the first half of the season when he hurt his back, but was actually back for pre-season)
