I'm excited, I'm terribly excited. I say more, I'm elated. No, not because I have watched a run of 5 episodes of "House MD". My dears, I have found a player seeing which made my eyes pop out. I have met many talented players during my career, who were interested in playing in the lowest English leagues, but this Brazilian with a Portuguese passport is really special.
Dionattan Elias Gehlen was born on the 28th of May 1982 in Sao Miguel do Ignacu. He started his career in EC Juventude. He played for Portuguese Academica Coimbra from 2003 to 2007. He is still considered as one of the best players that have ever played for this club. Reportedly he was known for his precise passes. Some time ago, Bolton Wanderers wanted to sign him, as well as Celtic Glasgow, but unfortunately he hasn't moved to The Isles. Since then, he has played for Fluminense, Internacional, Joinville, Juventude and SERC Brasil. This boy had a chance for a nice career, but apparently he blew it. Maybe, if he arrived to Premiership or Scottish Premier League, I wouldn't have a chance to write about him, but in this case? Damn, I spilled mineral water on my pants. I don't feel very comfortable. I should have taken an underwear change to work.
Dionattan is an incredible player. In my opinion he's one of the most interesting players in FM 2009. His attributes aren't randomly generated. Their value is stunning. He literally hasn't got a weak side. He's perfectly prepared under any condition. He enjoys attacking on the right side, has great crossing, passing and set piece. He scores goals and assists in almost every game. Adding to this, he has high CA and PA.
I'm touched. I'm so happy I managed to get him to King's Lynn. He had offers from the Portuguese Superleague (Naval, Trofense) and Czech Second League (Karvina), but he has chosen the Conference North club. Well, not exactly. I signed Dionattan before the end of the season in Conference North, but after achieving promotion to the Conference National. Maybe it had some influence on his decision.
At the game start the Brazilian costs 95K. Quite a lot, but his value decreases in a devastating time. I bought him for 3K after the 2008/09 season. It's some kind of a miracle. My dear, don't hesitate for a minute. Start chasing after Dionattan as fast as you can.
