two things regarding him sucking.
1. Ronaldinho says he should do well in the EPL
2. He plays on Brazils national team.

Both lead me to believe he doesn't suck.

Ronaldo, fat the way he was, played for Brazil in the World Cup.
I am Brazilian and i know Baptista skills for about 5 years because he played for São Paulo, my team.
He has great physicall skills, but thats about it. It may help him a little in EPL, but he won´t fit in Arsenal´s system. He doesn´t pass well, he doesn´t defend well, all he does well is carry the ball and strikes, and i don´t think Wenger will like Baptista carrying the ball in his team, he is no Fabregas.
What Ronaldinho says is no fact, Baptista is good friends with Ronaldinho, Kaka, Robinho and other Brazilian Players, i don´t think they would ever say he couldn´t play at EPL.

The good one is Denilson, not Baptista, don´t fool yourself.

Baptista will do a lot better in the premiership then Reyes did

A week without soccer sucks. Now they have to compete with the NFL. Anyway, here's the fixtures for this weekend:

Everton/Liverpool
Arsenal/Middlesbrough
Bolton/Watford
Chelsea/Charlton
Newcastle/Fulham
Portsmouth/Wigan
Sheff Utd/Blackburn
Man U/Spurs
West Ham/Aston Villa
Reading/Man City

Storylines: Can Portsmouth and Everton continue there fast starts? Is this Man U's first big test of the season? Or are Spurs overrated? Can Arsenal win a game?

Yeah, next week should be sick. If Arsenal can't manage a win this weekend, they sure won't be able to next weekend and could start in a huge hole.

Anybody getting up early for the Merseyside derby tomorrow? Friend and I are headed to the pub at 7:30.
