Am I imagining it or has Brandao been out-scoring all our better known young strikers this summer?
I don't think so, Federico Macheda's scored more (pretty sure) and he was the top scorer at the Milk Cup with 6 goals in 5 games. Have to say, I really do not rate Brandao - can't see him ever making it for us or any top level side for that matter, time is still on his side though.

Ruud ftw
Macheda has 7 this pre-season (5 for the U17's in the Milk Cup, 2 for the reserves). Brandão has 6, King 4.

Brandão's not done bad considering he's generally been a sub. Can't say he's massively impressed me either (although I thought, one cock-up in the Chelsea box aside, he did well tonight) though, he's very very raw and lacks the required work ethic at the minute.
