Help please?
Couldn't find anythingEpic said:try googling...
That article has been around for over a year, Tony. I've been trying to find fresh information on Rincon for some time now but have been unable to find anything of substance. He was supposed to have gone to Sporting Lisbon last season, but for some reason the loan never happened and he was still with Sao Paulo's B team. Haven't heard anything new, as far as his status is concerned.TonyPark said:The ex-captain of the Brazilian U-17 side was the maiden product, of the partnership agreement etched between Manchester United and São Paulo. The Red Devils sealed the move in 2003, much to the teenager's surprise; "I was on the beach when I was asked to report to the club, because Manchester United wanted me," he revealed. "I thought it was a joke but I'm accustomed to the idea now," added the powerfully built youngster.
The English giants initially agreed to allow Rincón, to continue his development at the renowned São Paulo youth academy, for three years. Twelve months short of this expiration period, United retracted on its decision, in order to accelerate the player's switch to Sporting Lisbon - one of the its principal feeder clubs. "It is best to give him the push in his career," commented United's academy chief, Les Kershaw, after São Paulo was instructed to release him.
Rincón – whose contract with the Old Trafford outfit is due to expire in 2010 (a two-year extension option was included) – will be registered as a Sporting Lisbon player for the start of the 2005/06 season, and is keen on making a swift first-team breakthrough at the José Alvalade Stadium. Although he is capable of operating in a number of positions, including central defence and midfield, the position that he has occupied with most frequency during his amateur career, is the left wing-back one.
Although he is keen to make an impact in the Portuguese SuperLiga, it's in Northern England that Rincón sees his long-term future. "I really like the English language and have been learning it for some time now. I have watched Manchester United on television many times and have seen Silvestre, Ferdinand, Van Nistelrooy and others. It's a good team but I want to make the first team there as soon as possible."
Rincó was so nicknamed, because of a physical resemblance to Colombian legend Freddy Rincón – ironically, a former star of São Paulo's state rivals, Corinthians. Tall and muscular, the youngster's brawn serves him well, but equally eye-catching, is his explosive speed and unflagging raids down the left flank. His position as captain of the Seleção's under-17 side, was reflective of his inspirational personality and the respect that he commands amongst his team-mates.
There is no doubt that Rincó is one of Brazilian football's best regarded emerging talents, and many experts believe he will go all the way. If his own expectancies are anything to go by, then he has a big future in football. In a testament to his incredible self-belief, the 18-year-old already has designs on Roberto Carlos' place in the full Brazilian National Team! "I want to defend Brazil in the World Cup in Germany. If I don't go in 2006, I will make the squad in one of the next ones," he confidently predicted.

Sorry, it was a quip. A Rincon in Spanish is an exterior corner (they have another word for an interior corner - or it could be the other way round, never can remember).Jacob said:Not a clue! The only thing I know about him is that he's called Rincón and exist in our Reserve Team in FM.
Not there either.KingEric7 said:I think he's moved on to Sporting Lisbon now. Are Fabio and Rafael going there eventually?
I too tried looking for him on both Sao Paulo's and Sporting Lisbon's websites and couldn't find anything on him. He isn't listed under Sao Paulo's U-20s roster, and I can't seem to find any info on the Sporting Lisbon website (primarily because the English version doesn't work for me).oskarutd said:I couldn´t find him in the Sao Paulo homepage. He was there last year. So I guees this means he is gone somewhere, perhaps to Portugal for getting his pass?

Operazione in prospettiva dei nerazzurri che, attraverso i buoni uffici di Mino Raiola in Brasile, stanno concludendo l'ingaggio di Rincòn (19), al secolo Carlos Eduardo de Castro Lourenço, difensore polivalente appena svincolatosi dal S.Paolo. Acquistato dal Manchester United tre anni fa e prestato in seguito allo Sporting Lisbona, Rincon è stato capitano della nazionale under 17. Il giocatore potrebbe essere girato alla Sampdoria.
From what I can gather from the pretty shoddy translation is that somehow Inter Milan have managed to sign him and will be loaning him out to Sampdoria.Operation in perspective of the nerazzurri that, through the mediations of Mino Raiola in Brasi they, are concluding I engage it of Rincòn (19), to the century Carlos Eduardo de Castro Lourenço, polyvalent defender as soon as svincolato from the S.Paolo. Acquired from the Manchester United three years ago and lend as a result of the Sporting Lisbona, Rincon has been captain of national under the 17. The player could be turned to the Sampdoria.
Aye. I heard rumours of him at Inter Milan which scares me. Doubt it though but like you say, FM will tell us.Jon Paul said:The new FM will tell us where he's gone to.
Don't count on it. Last version still has Arthur Gomez, who was released IRL, in our books.Jon Paul said:The new FM will tell us where he's gone to.
He was ours. It was reported on SP ofiicial site. United don´t usually report these things on their official site. He didn´t want to go to Sporting last year so they must have decided to sell him or release him.M160RA said:It seems like Rincon has somehow ended up at Empoli and is no longer on our books:

It seems to me that somehow Inter were able to snap him up and then loan him out to Empoli.
It makes me wonder whether he was ever our player - the only reports of it that I saw came from sources such as MEN, and I don't think I ever saw it reported on the official website. Either way, I wonder if we enough made an effort to try and keep him on our books.
Weird...
It's the wrong player, i think they have got mixed up detween Rincon and Maicon who plays for Inter and was playing for Brazil against Argie the other day!!!! i thinkoskarutd said:He was ours.
