[edit] Inker vs. Inter

Stop reverting Inker into Inter. The name of the club when he played for them was Inker. So leave it is as Inker. Bloody fool. Check the Inter Zapresic wikipedia page.

[edit] Arsenal transfer value

Recently in Baku (Azerbaijan) when Dinamo Zagreb was playing their Champsions League qualification match against the local club Dinamo's vice-president and the man who take care of all transfer's Zdravko Mamić, was quoted to say "Dinamo needs to pay a fee of €480,000 to the Croatian football association". The fee for all transfer's is 3%, this means that the whole transfer deal worth was around €15m or ₤10m. Report about it on the Croatian tv station Nov@ TV [1] --No.13 14:37, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Eduardo had be been claimed that Da Silva is his mother surname, should we mention that the suranmae Alves da Silva, Alves is from father. Matthew_hk tc 16:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hes scored another one

Actually Eduardo have scored in Croatias 5-3 win over Bosnia Hercegovna (1 goal), note that please. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.227.162.240 (talk) 07:34, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

Is it possiable for some1 to add a table for goals information?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.142.147.125 (talk) 16:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC) As for goal. In the bar on the right hand side showing his stats, it read 13 games (7 goals) This makes no sense. That means it is taking the games as 9 in the leage and 3 ni the cup and 1 random game from somewhere else, but it is counting all of the goal from Europe. That's not right. On all other footballers pages it is league games and league goals and cup games and european matches aren't counted. Thus, it should be 9(0) as he hasn't scored in the league. If it does in fact include cup matches then it should be 12(4), but not 13(7). That makes no sense. MrNewcastle (talk) 13:52, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Updated goals and appearance tally!

After seeing nobody else would fix it up, I updated his goal and appearance numbers. I dont know why you are only counting his league goals, because thats stupid. He has scored twice in the Champions League (including once in a qualifier) and many more in the league cups. I've done the exact count with help of other stats from websites, the correct tally should be 11 goals in 19 appearances for Arsenal. I have fixed it, please leave it that way! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.183.0.178 (talk) 09:09, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

All soccer infoboxes use league goals only. That is why I created an extra stats table in the body of the article to provide further information. Chensiyuan (talk) 09:45, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lots of vandalism (RE: serious injury)

It's clear that since the serious injury Eduardo sustained during the Birmingham match, this page is receiving alot of vandalism (e.g: 'addition of date of death', 'being amputated'). In fact, the vandalism is appearing at a rate of every minute right now as I type this, it's quite difficult to revert all the time. Mark PEA (talk) 22:09, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Here's a Guadian article. On vandalism, try WP:RFPP. Imagine Reason (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 04:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I removed "un-intentional" from the description of the foul because it is pure speculation; I do not believe it was intentional, but we cannot judge intentions, so we can only say it was a foul without referring to intentions. Tamer (talk) 07:33, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eduardo all over YouTube

Might be worth mentioning that, as I'm looking at it now, the top 17 videos on YouTube Global are ALL about Eduardo da Silva. The #1 video has over 2 million views. This is not something that happens very often (if ever), so a nice illustration of how important this injury was to the rest of the world dearly (talk) 06:02, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Injury in Lead

What are people's opinion on mentioning the injury in the lead. Personally I believe it is important enough to be mentioned and should have at least one sentence. Thanks Suicidalhamster (talk) 14:33, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I would tend to agree - I've been bold and added one - people are welcome to mess around with it, as always. I think the lead needs expanding in general, too. x42bn6 Talk Mess 00:43, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I also agree that the lead overall is too short and needs expanding. Suicidalhamster (talk) 17:37, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The News of the World Interview

was completely fabricated. Eduardo never spoke to them.Interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrPOLQPY7UA Translated transcript: http://arseblog.com/columns/2008/03/05/eduardos-first-interview-with-croatian-tv/ That was the sole source for the story about Taylor visiting him in hospital and of Eduardo "forgiving" him so I've removed them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.204.121 (talk) 07:33, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

The apparently "no visit" has made news itself but Sky Sports removed their news report leaving only Goal.com's report (I doubt this is reliable). I'd note, though, that removing the report on the basis of someone's blogged transcript is an application of original research. I think a couple more reliable sources will report on the "no-show" by Taylor other than blogs. x42bn6 Talk Mess 18:50, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Taylor didnt visit him!

There are many news stories which are rightfully saying that Eduardo said Taylor never visited him in hospital and he hasn't spoken to him since the injury. I noticed in the injury section it says that Taylor has visited Eduardo and he has forgiven him - which is wrong. The current new stories quote Eduardo saying it is a lie and he is yet to be visited. I would remove that small sentence or at least fix it up.

He apparently cannot recall it. There was a Sky Sports article on it but they deleted it. There was never any reliable sources on this, only speculation from blogs and tabloids, but I found a couple that said he couldn't remember it and put one down. x42bn6 Talk Mess 22:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removing {{current sport section}}

If nobody objects, I'll remove this soon. It's not really a current event any more. x42bn6 Talk Mess 22:57, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eduardos injury

I believe it was Fabregas who signaled for Lewin to come on the pitch (as well as for Lewin to therefore signal fellow physios and doctors to race onto the pitch)

as it says Lewin immediately called for a stretcher. Fabregas knew Eduardo wasnt getting up, so he shouted to Lewin.

Nothing major, just thought it might be of some use! Xkingoftheworldx (talk) 20:21, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] International stats?

I'm pretty sure his stats have not changed since he got injured (obviously). The most common international stats seen on here was 13 goals in 22 caps, which I think is very correct due to hearing it around other stories as well. Somebody has changed it to 22 goals in 39 caps now, which I think is wrong, especially without evidence? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Domiy (talk • contribs) 02:20, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
