Is this just Shields fancying a holiday?

SHEFFIELD United are investigating the possibility of striking a partnership agreement with Brazilian giants São Paulo as part of a scheme designed to attract some of the world's finest young footballing talent to Bramall Lane.

Might as well add South America to the global list. Got Europe, got Asia, getting Africa, logical to try and gain a foothold in South America.

But hasn't Warnock come out recently and said he wouldn't sign any south americans?

I think the club see these links as a long term process.

Ah but we all know south americans dont suit our game

obviously a few exceptions

Denílson Pereira Neves (denilson) Kaká and Ricardo Oliveira all played for São Paulo i wouldnt mind if we picked up the next kaka

I personally think this sounds like an excellent venture, it just shows how much the club's come along the past few years.

This deal with Sao Paulo is good thing and shows we have ambition BUT would Sao Paulo still want to send there young talent here if we arnt playing top flight football next season ? Plus a fair few Brazilians have struggled to settle into English football. Anyway lets see what happens hopefully it will benifit the club.
