Ok, since my last post, a lot of things happened at the club. For starters, the long speculated loan of Cicinho from AS Roma to Sao Paulo was finally concluded and he is now back at the club. He arrived last Wednesday morningfrom Rome and even after an elen-hour flight and jet lag, he managed to play the last 15 minutes of the first Libertadores Cup match and caused a good impression. Fans, press, and me personally believe the club's right-wing "problem" is now solved. As far as the other side of the pitch goes, the left-wing, where Sao Paulo also lacks quality in the current player (Junior Cesar), Sao Paulo is finalizing the terms of another loan. Carletto, who belongs to Spanish club Valencia FC, will arrive in town tomorrow as the eleventh signing for the new season. The Brazilian left wing stood out in Santos FC last season and transferred to the Spanishs side a bit too early. He is not very well known to most fans and will remain as a big question mark until he plays a few games and we can all form an opinion about his qualities. The "Fernandao" saga still continues. The EC Goias forward is a dream of Sao Paulo's management for a long time and it seems like this time the deal will happen. In exchange for Fernandao, Goias is asking for a small portion in cash and 3 or 4 players Sao Paulo is not using. These players are rumored to be: Roger, Wellington, Renan, Wagner Diniz and Adrian Gonzalez. None of these are part of the squad in the Libertadores Cup and will not be missed if they leave. If the deal goes through, even if in these conditions, Sao Paulo's management will have done the trade of the year!
