Diego and Anderson come to mind. Deco plays for one of the biggest clubs in the world, he would be getting a sniff 100 percent.
I hate the view that everything out of Brazil right now is head and shoulders better than the rest when they're not even the best team in their continent. Brazil isn't what they used to be.

I heard in a tv interview recently that Deco had no name in Brazil at all. He didn't make any impact on any of the Brazillian clubs. He didn't achieve anything in Brazil football and made his name abroad. Brazil produces so many players that it would have been hard to for him to get in.
Diego was a star in Brazil way before he went to Europe. Anderson i'm not sure about, has he even played for Brazil yet?
It's all politics and there's a pecking order. Brazil would never take someone who suddenly became good.
Dunga recently took a guy who plays in Holland who was scoring many many goals and was slaughtered by the Brazillian press.
I'm like you. Not everything that comes out of Brazil is gold but that's how THEY view it and with about 100 newspapers, there are alot of politics.
Deco is much better off playing for Portugal. He's an EU guy which is easier for clubs and who the heck wants to fly back to Brazil all the time to play internationals.
