He is a great player. Used to be a sweeper.

 

Swarfega has dual nationality - Italian and Brazilian - having been born to Italian parents on the banks of the Amazon, whilst his parents were on a trout tickling holiday.

 

He is best known for a penalty scored against Racing Club Arsebiscuitas in the final of the 2004 Copa Hamburguesas, when he distracted the Racing Club goalkeeper by halting his run up halfway, tying his face in a knot, and winking saucily before successfully converting the spot kick.

 

Following a recent gender reassignment scandal, Swarfega is believed to be in talks regarding a possible transfer to Atletico Bumfluff of the Bolivian second division.

 

Swarfega is currently thought to be in talks with Newcastle chairman Chris Mort over a short term pay as you play deal with the English club. (aug 31 2007)

Wiki said 5mins back Ronaldinho had signed for the toon, but its changed now... must have failed his medical or summit.

 

We only offered him £40,000 per week wages, someone on an email on SSN said.

BBC confirm it:

 

1920: Barcelona have confirmed that the sale of Ronaldinho to Newcastle United (£2m + Pattison) has fallen through due to Ronaldinho failing a weight assessment, after he refused to take off his head scarf.

The phone-in on Setanta at the moment is discussing a story about us bidding £9m for Celktis'c Scott Brown.

 

Any coverage on other channels or media?

 

Aye That one and we are bidding 12 M for Nugent.  Mort think that if we offer both clubs double what they paid within the last couple of months we've a good chance of signing them.

Re-: Ronaldinhos move to Newcastle falling through after failing his weight assessment,it is understood he was 14 lb's overweight.

                          He has agreed to  the removal of his two front teeth,and therefore being 2 lb's inside his optimum weight.

Scott Brown has the potential to be an awesome player, given the opportunity.  One of my friends lives in Edinburgh and everytime a group of us go to see him we are dragged to watch Hibernian (Brown's team before Celtic) play.  Whenever I've seen him, he's impressed. 

 

However, if he ended up at Tyneside, it would be highly unlikely that he would make the starting eleven.  He has the grit of Smith and Barton, as well as some attacking flair, although he is obviously an unknown quantity given that he has only ever played in Scotland.  Celtic only really have him by virtue of their policy of buying up every decent Scottish prospect to cripple the teams below them in the league.  A few seasons ago, Derek Riordan was another promising Hibs player who made the move to the Hoops, only to rot on the bench.
