Eduardo da Silva’s full potential according to Football Manager…
Posted by Arsenal News on 2, July 2007
Hello there, well Arsenal.com have announced we are due to sign Eduardo da Silva. I do not know much about him really so until I have time to write a proper blog here is what Football manager has to say about him. The following screens are taken when he has reached his full potential so ignore his age…
and…
More to follow later.

Clearly this is only a bit of fun but ‘natural fitness’ 8 out of 20. That is a worry!

How pathetic. And it’s “announced” not “announded”.
Get on YouTube and watch the boy you useless twat.
2, July 2007 at 10:53 am
A great article about him here: http://www.soccerphile.com/soccerphile/news/balkans-soccer/eduardo-da-silva.html
The guy surely got gusto moving from Brazil to Croatia at 15. He will not be a whimp playing in the winter.
2, July 2007 at 10:54 am
More importantly, how do you get the curremt ability and potential bility to show up on football manager?
I cna only see it in the pre game editor.
As well as the number rating for position and all the other hidden data
2, July 2007 at 10:54 am
Can you explain what that means to some of us who don’t play FM? Yeah, I know that’s shocking. I haven’t played it since like 2005 so I am not too sure I can trust my judgment…
2, July 2007 at 10:55 am
177 - bit small
2, July 2007 at 10:56 am
Haha. Good humour in the post. Unlike some humourless twats. Loved the article. :p
2, July 2007 at 10:56 am
Harry - it is simply a bit of fun. You clearly were intrigued otherwise why would you even click on the headline. The youtube vids are there for everyone to see. Moron.
Ola, everything is out of 20 so that should give you an idea. for example it seems he is quite a flair player. These stats though can often be way off the mark. I simply thought it might be interesting for people to have a ganders.
2, July 2007 at 10:58 am
If anyone finds any other good vids other than the ones posted, let me know. I will group them all together for everyone to watch.
2, July 2007 at 10:59 am
Funny article,
But being serious - if this is the ’super, super class’ player to replace Henry, then it is a TOTAL FUCKING JOKE.
What has our club come too….
We could sign nearly anyone, and we sign some nobody from Croatia.
Piss take.
2, July 2007 at 11:01 am
Well this may sound interesting, atleast wenger has brought dasilva, but i dont know much about him, I hope he will turn out to be a great star at emirate.
2, July 2007 at 11:05 am
hey Matt, what do you mean nobody? I’m sorry to sound rude but you are probably just bloody ignorant. This guy has been quietly making headlines around for the last 2 years.
2, July 2007 at 11:06 am
Yea, I knew that. just kidding around…
Isn’t it ironic that the first person to score a goal at the Emirates (who incidentally wasn’t a Gunner) is now one?
2, July 2007 at 11:09 am
lol - likes to beat man…repeatedly!
2, July 2007 at 11:27 am
Not that much like TH….
Exactly what we need from the look of the You Tube vid though - gets into the box, finishes well and not afraid of using his head. And can take a penalty or dozen. A good buy as Ali’s replacement.
2, July 2007 at 11:41 am
Ola, being pedantic, but the first player to score at the Emirates was actually Huntelaar…. and I know a lot of us want him to become a Gooner !!!!! I believe Da Silva scored the first ‘competitive goal’.
2, July 2007 at 11:47 am
Do you think that Wenger uses FM to work out his signings??
it would explain a lot Baptista, Aliadiere et al.
Martin jol apparently takes advice from his Amsterdam Advisors “You must spend a fortune to get a Bent boy in london”
But as the saying goes Arsene knows - Dudu to score 20 Goals from 20 starts including the winner in the champions league final against Barcelona
hope he’s not really out injured until 01.12.2010 tho
2, July 2007 at 11:47 am
Makes you wonder why we bother with all the rumours, then: http://thirdgen.wordpress.com/features/pointofrumours/
2, July 2007 at 12:16 pm
Classic Wenger…..i do have a sneaky feeling that in Da Silva, Wenger has signed a gem….(http://www.soccerphile.com/soccerphile/news/balkans-soccer/eduardo-da-silva.html)
He seems like an interesting prospect…not an Eto….but at least he comes without the HUGE salary, attitude, injury problems and baggage unlike the other candidates i.e. Eto, Anelka, Owen! PLUS, unlike Reyes he will not complain about cold weather! Seems a better prospect than the lumbering Baptista and is seemingly highly rated in Croatia ….. I can see him and Van Persie shredding defenses together and i hope he makes that big bafoon Drogba eat his words !
2, July 2007 at 12:17 pm
Well, this makes those of us who spent ages writing blogs detailing all the options for who we might sign look quite stupid doesn’t it! Even an avid blogger like myself didn’t see anyone at all suggest Eduardo as a possible signing!
Still, good signing though I reckon, and pretty much anyone who wasn’t deluded enough to think we might sign Eto’o will agree
http://sameoldarsenal.blogspot.com/2007/07/eduardo-da-silva-arsenal-in-transfer.html
2, July 2007 at 12:18 pm
positioning and marking looks a worry also !
especially when your a target up front in the arsenal gameplay books! nice stat breakdown however!and the finishing stat looks good also
but he’s a brazillian if you read the bbc
sports news.so im happy i was crying out for a brazialian with flair and i got 1 !
2, July 2007 at 12:34 pm
LOL! I love the way Wenger did this one under the radar ! All the tabloids were outfoxed ! All that silly speculation amounted to zilch ! ha ha ha! I got a feeling he is more a replacement for Reyes though….with Van Persie and Bendtner up front…..Wenger probably wanted cover on the left and upfront which is why Babel was being touted….With Alliadiare and Lupoli gone we can perhaps expect a youngster coming in to fill those reserves spots…possibly Vela will finally make an apprearance at Emirates rather than hiding away in Portugal…
2, July 2007 at 12:43 pm
This is why I believe that Wenger is special!! He will not buy Tevez or even Oba but get someone out of the blues who got talent. Just look at his scoring abilities! Amazing!!!! If he scores atleast 1 goal in every match, then we are looking at another Henry in the making!
2, July 2007 at 12:50 pm
hey if his wages are only £23k a week when he’s fully developed that has to be a bargain
2, July 2007 at 12:57 pm
looks like someone cheats at Football Manager… how else would you get all the hidden stats!!
2, July 2007 at 1:07 pm
Matt, it is not really cheating. It is simply a way of scouting for players. It tells you their potential ability and also how much they would cost you, rather than their value. You can get it from here…
http://www.fmscout.com/
2, July 2007 at 1:19 pm
Hehe, brilliant, I’m glad I’m not the only one who takes a peek at FM - of course they can be wildly off, but not always.
I always hate it when I have a player who turns out to be amazing and Chelsea buy them in real life. Makes me pray that the FM researchers are crap.
2, July 2007 at 1:43 pm
I think his stats in FM should be higher than that it says there he is now injuried
2, July 2007 at 1:51 pm
An excellent point Leo.
2, July 2007 at 3:01 pm
hey”steve gooner”just thoought i’d let you know the fee for “dudu”is £6 million NOT £16 million which has widely been reported-i say this b4 the likes of “optapissdick” start shit stirring we’ve wasted all our money on a relative unknown..interesting gamble-what do you think?
2, July 2007 at 3:02 pm
post 31 is from “the king”by the way!!
2, July 2007 at 3:09 pm
Now Wenger needs to spend money on buying Babel, Huntelaar, Sagna, Eto, Tevez, and the Portugese fellow. With all these players maybe we have a chance of winning anything. I say splash out. However it maybe that these high profile players do not want to come to Arsenal as to the uncertainty of Mr Wenger
2, July 2007 at 3:30 pm
KING GOONER
he scored 34 goals last season .. least he can find the back of the net, i actually feel quite good . theyve gone with a 24 year
old,still 1 or 2 years off peaking .. NOT SURE THIS SEASON . but definately if you can score goals every week it must be a confidence booster to the lad.If He comes here and owns the role of henrys replacement,
without stumbling id say a reasonable replacement . but then ON PAPER so did baptista look very good … only time will tell .. but 34 goals last season is definately a big, big factor to be excited about, lets hope he adapts quickly ! drogba only got 21 last season to win 1st place on top scorer’s LB . id say 34 croat goals = 23-24 EPL goals .. all in all not a bad days work .
i think you take a risk any time you buy a player from europe…but arsene/the scouts would of looked at him from every angle and probly for a while .he is a superstar from where he is .
and he isnt 29 -30 and past his peak .. i think you have to say good outweighs the bad on this one !
and he scored on our ground before we did !
sign him now
2, July 2007 at 3:32 pm
if your stats are correct above he has score in every 2nd international hes played in too ! YUP NOT A BAD PURCHASE !
2, July 2007 at 3:36 pm
oh and optapisseddick is out there.he’s affraid, and lying low .. reading , like a serial killer in some blackened corner , waiting for his time to strike again .
the demon is wounded but he will be back… stronger , ruder , gayer
than before but not today..
today we celebrate

Mirko Barisic
‘Arsenal say the fee is undisclosed, though Dinamo president Mirko Barisic said it amounted to £16.25m.’
2, July 2007 at 3:45 pm
According to the video in youtube, he likes to play short, simple and killing through passes into the box. that is exactly what we need. (Supply chances to Adebayor and bendtner)
2, July 2007 at 3:54 pm
Post 33. LOL.
Right, let’s start spending £50 million buying loads of strikers and one defender. Hahaha. Why would Wenger want to buy Tevez, Martins, Huntelaar and Babel when we currently already have da Silva, van Persie, Adebayor, Bendtner and Walcott? You can only have 2 or 3 strikers on the pitch at any one time. It’s not like each player would score 20 goals, because most would be on the bench half the time and that’s even using a 3 man striker force. LOL.
Sagna would be a wise buy and a winger isn’t overly important, but it would be useful.

theo and rvp can play midfeild positions, also de silva can play left wing ! thanks for comming looser !
2, July 2007 at 4:14 pm
wenger makes his players , play more than one position ,other than fabs and ade most player can cover other positions … and our new signing is no different he can play LW - FC 2 birds one stone .
2, July 2007 at 4:35 pm
The new signing on the face of it looks good, but when your playing in a league on a par with the secound division that this Di SILVA has, thats like paying £16 mill for Perry Groves! I wish you luck
2, July 2007 at 4:43 pm
Excellent buy as expected. An unknown player to most of us but he has played enough competitive football in my opinion. I believe his adaptability would be better than Baptista.
A good forward/winger with plenty of potential to be polished by AW.
See what we got for 16M, M.Jols !! WAHHAHAA ..
2, July 2007 at 4:55 pm
“optapissdick”i knew it would take you no time at all to start slagging our new signing-if you take a care to look at my post 31.you will notice the fee is not £16 million but £6 million-as explained by the croat teams president but lost in translation- typically, by our arsenal hating scumbag media who would prefer if we spent most of our funds on a relative unknown-it suits their agenda…

Believe it or not, most players started their careers at small clubs in lesser leaagues. What would you expect from a class player playing in a poor league? A goal every game? Because that’s exactly what Eduardo’s done.
2, July 2007 at 5:30 pm
and FM can not be wrong! :p
2, July 2007 at 6:27 pm
I don’t think it’s adequate to judge him based on Football Manager. Recently Adebayor scored 21 goals for me by December in my first season. That could not happen in real life. The point I’m making is that FM tends to stretch reality at times.

2, July 2007 at 11:42 pm
well faggapisdick,
the new reports confirm what king goon has been telling us 7.5 mil !
definately not 16.25 like the LE presidente said !
good talent at a good price .put that in your pipe and smoke it !

34 goals a season in any competition is a good rate of fire for any player ..

2, July 2007 at 11:58 pm
There are two things we need to take into consideration about him.
1. Those 34 goals were scored in the Croatian League so it provides no indication of how well he’ll do in England.
2. I’ve been watching a clip of him on You Tube and his goals seem to be those of a poacher. He seems too reliant on his teammates to score so I’m a bit disappointed about that. He isn’t the type to run at defenders and take them on before scoring but the good thing about it is he’s definitely a finisher. He looks like the answer to our finishing problems last season but I hope we sign someone who will run at defenders because he doesn’t really seem to do that.
3, July 2007 at 3:22 am
if you don’t like him, you can actually change all the stats to 20 in FM. Lol!
3, July 2007 at 3:33 am
Hey Rachid,
you can probably watch this, a better indication that he can dribble and make assists.

Arsene knows.
3, July 2007 at 5:05 am
I dont think that anybody can replace Hendry…
http://mclip.wordpress.com
3, July 2007 at 6:47 am
He is perfect replacement…
Arsenal set to be champions now..bring on barca..and that disloyal henry
3, July 2007 at 11:04 am
This is an excellent buy..
His style of play resembles that of MESSI.
Lets have SAGNA and another signing then we’ll be in business.

3, July 2007 at 6:13 pm
Gooni, thanks for the link. I agree he does look pacey. I guess I’ll just wait and see what he has to offer.
4, July 2007 at 5:29 am
HEY!!!! What the F***! someone above said if this is the guy who will replace henry then its a joke!!!
Hey Matt!! Thats the guy who beat England in the Euro Qualifier!! He is not better then henry but he can score as many goals, or more the henry did!
This guy doesnt look special but he is! He is a true talent, once he has the ball near the goal there is a 90 percent chance that he will score!
This guy is better then many forwards in england…. Let me explain how he plays….
He is a mix of Rooney, Etto, and peter crouch… He is dangerouse from every angle.
This guy is special for this reason! He just doesnt miss! Once he has the ball in front of him will score.
Look at the Croatian national team! Croatia scored the most goals in their group! And who to thank is Eduardo Da Silva.
This is what I think about eduardo Da SIlva playing for arsenal!
- he will score lots of goals!
- he will continue scoring goals!
- he will win lots of games!
- he is not one of those player that scores for a while, and then you dont hear about him for a couple months. This guys scores atleast one goal per game!
His first game for arsenla he will score! I can almost guarantee you that! I know how he plays and I know for a fact Arsenal fans will not be dissapinted. And ne more thing, I have officially converted to a Arsenal fan!
( more consistant ) He scores an average of 2 goals per game…. ( thats was when he played for Dinamo Zagreb )
4, July 2007 at 5:32 am
oops, I apologies for all the bad crammer on my comment I left above. Sorry
4, July 2007 at 5:32 am
grammer*
5, July 2007 at 2:19 am
By the way people! sorry to tell you but Eduardo was not bought for 7 million or 8! He was bought for the price of 16 million! Dinamo Zagreb couldn’t afford to let him go for 8 million. You see Eduardo da Silva is a legend in Croatia, the only reason why Dinamo succeeds and has a chance to compete in Europe is because of Eduardo. Letting him go will hurt dinamo Zagreb very much, only a huge amount of money could fix the damage….thats why his was let go for 16 million. Thats a fair price since that amount of money will give dinamo a chance to find better talent for the future.
The only reason why Arsenal, and the media say he was bought for 7 or 8 million is because they don’t want to emberace themselves if they fail with eduardo da silva. You see if you say u spent 17 million on a loser, the fans might become angry.
5, July 2007 at 11:32 am
correcto!!dennis s(you sound suspiciously like optapissdick with that last comment(it’s not an alias isit)the fee is def no more than £8 million tops-yes dynamo wanted more & could have got more from russia as i understand-however,they were prepared to let the boy only move to the mighty gunners-this was as a favour to his loyalty-hence a much lower fee as confirmed by slavin bilic!!!
