Striker on Trial

If it is De Melo and has been released by Evian how good does that make him?0

At 1.93 m ( 6'4") he passes the height test with flying colours.
Wikipedia saysEarly career & Breakthrough (2003–08)[edit]
I remember him vaguely from his time at Aalborg in Denmark where he was one of the more prolific strikers in the Superliga, but that was some years ago. Would love if he could follow Igor's form and win Championship plyer of the month in, say, December 2014.
Túlio de Melo started his career with Atlético Mineiro, and moved to Europe in 2004 to join Danish top-flight team Aalborg BK on loan. In 2005 he signed a three-year contract with French club Le Mans, where he gained a reputation as a powerful striker with the ability to lob keepers of international class from range. His impressive performances in the first half of the 2007–08 season (10 goals in 19 matches) caused interest from higher level teams, namely Serie A clubs Palermo and Parma. His name later caused controversy between these teams as it appeared he actually signed contracts with both clubs, but eventually it was Palermo who finalized his signing.[1] Palermo paid the agent "SCMG Sport Consulting & Management Gmbh" €3.8 million to sign his outright.[2]
Palermo & Lille (2008–present)[edit]
He joined the Rosanero on July 2008, but he was soon listed for transfer by the club, and managed only to play 45 minutes in a Coppa Italia match, a 2–1 home loss to Ravenna.
On August 31, 2008 Ligue 1 club Lille announced to have completed the signing of Túlio de Melo from Palermo, for €4 million.[2][3]
He left Lille in January 2014, signing with Evian Thonon Gaillard F.C..[4]0 -
Saw Eric Pickles down at Bluewater on Saturday. Mingled in well with some of the locals :0OAddicksAddict said:0 -
Ketts now says he will not play in the game today. Maybe we have seen enough either way in training.0

Has his dad got a Twitter account?Callumcafc said:https://mobile.twitter.com/tuliodemelo9
Any clues?5 -
So if he hasn't gone down the well-worn "starts off as Brazilian but gets a Portuguese passport" route does anyone know how he would get a work permit for the UK?0
-
He's played in France for 6 years so will almost certainly by now have 'indefinite leave to remain' in France - which means he has access to the UK due to the free movement of labour (I seem to recall a minor thread on the topic over the last week or so!!).cafcfan said:So if he hasn't gone down the well-worn "starts off as Brazilian but gets a Portuguese passport" route does anyone know how he would get a work permit for the UK?

0.23 goals a game for De Melo... Not sure how many assists but that isn't great.
46 goals in 197 appearances.
Tucudean has 0.275 goals per game at 41 in 149. once again no idea how many assists.0 -

Not trying to be sarcastic (and yes should move on) but just curious compared to these two...2 -
I'm guessing we wanted to keep it under wraps and now that the name is out there we have decided not to play him. Either that or we've seenhim in training and he is the next Ali Dia2

Cheers... Quite similar to Tucudean and this apparent guy then... Yet saying that Yann has never been the out and out Striker so wont have a good goals to game record0

Already been said he is not a goalscoring forward, he is the man you put alongside a goalscorer to help him out, a bit like a Heskey type of player someone to hold up the ball and let Vetokele bang it inDazzler21 said:0.23 goals a game for De Melo... Not sure how many assists but that isn't great.

i do love a football fan that thinks goals are the be all and end all for a striker. Remember Yann? Heskey in his prime? These are the kind of strikers other players love to play with.Talal said:I do love a good non goal scoring striker....

Tucudeans scoring record means nout in essence, he's being playing at both a very poor level in Romania, and top tier Romania which is still relatively a poor level even compared to the Championship.ForeverAddickted said:Cheers...

Not to blast him but he's going to have to stick in a lot more graft here to adapt.
