Brazil v Wales 1997 & FIFA
at 12:27 6 Jun 2015

Well, Pele has described his goal against Wales in the quarters of the '58 World Cup as the most important of his career. There was pressure for him to not be selected but he grabbed his first international goal and finished the tournament with 6 as Brazil won their first World Cup. It wasn't quite an anniversary but invoking memories of that game before France '98 (they smashed France 5-2 in the semis after the '58 Wales game) could have something to do with it

Luc Castaignos fee agreed?

As others have said, was very highly rated, then dropped off a bit. Even after his disastrous spell at Inter he was chosen as one of the top 100 young players in world football by inbedwithmaradona.com (fantastic site) at the start of last year. Here is their review of his 2013:

To explain their grading: "We consider C to be the norm, a straight line, a ‘good’ that indicates a player is performing well and their development is on course"

Edit: this was obviously done 6 months ago so does not include his recent form, which by all accounts has been good. He did not appear on the 2014 list which can be seen here if you're interested, Ben Davies is on it: http://inbedwithmaradona.com/journal/2013/12/18/ibwm100-for-2014

Laudrup said he was after a quick, mobile striker. N'gog isn't really that.
