Keirrison is swapping teams like he’s Beyoncé at the Grammys! From Barcelona to Benfica… and now, taking advantage of the Mutu kerfuffle, he’s PUTTING A RING ON IT with Fiorentina. We suspect his agent once auditioned to be on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” but Regis Philbin aptly said “No” in a deep voice.

Anyway, they asked K9 – or K39 in this case – whether he wanted to emulate Fiorentina’s Edmundo who went home to Brazil for Carnaval in 1999. It also cost him his job as he was asked to leave the club for failing to seek consent. “To me, Carnaval is only on television,” joked Keirrison. Kekekeke, que é uma piada de mau gosto!

Querido Dios… Fernando Gago is simply GAWJUS but too bad he plays like merda! And now even Man City have failed to sign him. The deal only fell through because of the ‘lack of time’ during the transfer window. Shit, Gago can sign for our team anytime he fancies but we can’t afford to pay him 18 million. All he has to do is to sit there, comb his hair and the gate receipts alone will take care of ITSELF!

In general, listening to ArrrrghKon can be quite an experience. Many generally compare the experience to Microwave Throwing (trust us, he once performed right opposite our balcony. To put it kindly, it was hell on Earth) but he’s singing the World Cup theme so you know that at some point, you’re going to be downloading this into your pods and nods! The song is mediocre but the face paint is amazing – so enjoy that instead.

Never in our warped minds did we think Ibra and Keirrison would be playing together in the same team. But it’s happening to Barca and obviously they aren’t the only ones in Spain who want to change things a little bit. Potter Perez won that competition by outdoing himself with Real Madrid (seriously, we don’t want to see his mobile phone bills!)

Anyway, despite their €14 million coup of Keirrison, the striker will not be playing first-team football for Barca next season. Sexy Pep thinks he still needs “experience” and will spend one season loaned to another club (Porto, Ajax, Monaco and Liverpool are all interested). Ibra combed his pony locks in front of 50,000 fans at the Nou Camp yesterday – so all is well.

“It was very nice to have known Ibrahimovic, a striker and a great champion. I hope to (win) the double with him soon and give joy to many fans of Barcelona,” said K9.

Too bad for Keirrison though. The Number 9 jersey sadly won’t be his when he returns next year.

We’re at that time of the year again where everyone’s getting married and talking about their childhood dreams (all of a sudden), because well, you know you can’t say shizzle like “We’ll try our best to score today” or “It’s an empoooordand game fur us.”

One of these hombres we speak of is Keirrison, who is not getting any love from his Palmeiras teammates for being a bitch and not saying goodbye properly.

“I am close to achieving the dream – my life’s dream. I’ve always been a fan of (Barca’s) since the time Romário played there and I was a child. I always wanted to follow his footsteps because he is the player I most admired,” he said. “I’ve always said openly that my childhood dream was to be a player of Barcelona. It is something that everybody knows in Brazil and now things are turning out really well.”

According to Sport, Kerri has a special buy-out clause at Barca – which is substantially less than other clubs. You can have him if you’re willing to pay 15 million euros (U.S. $ 43 million).

Oh no, things are not looking good for Keirrison at Palmeiras and veteran defender, Edmilson, thinks his “cold exit” is only making the situation worst. He also thinks that the Barcelona-bound striker should have at least said “goodbye” to everyone so as to not tarnish his reputation.

“When you go from one place to one another, you should leave the door open wide. I don’t know where (Keirrison) is now but if I were him, I’d say goodbye to the staff, the sound of the garden and everyone here at Palmeiras. At least that’s the way I’d do it. He should thank the people who helped him to succeed here and then leave the country,” said Ed.

Anyway, it appears that everything has been cleared up and Keirrison explained : “Everything has happened very fast and so far I have only been able to speak to two of my team-mates [Willians and Pierre] on the telephone, but I want to thank everyone for their support.”

Keirrison may look like one of those “Clinic Extras” in the legendary Mr Bean series, but cara doesn’t care OK? Negotiations are apparently ongoing for a move to Barcelona and Luxemburgo refuses to rule out K9′s move to Spain.

Anyway, the player recently visited his friends Alex and Henrique at Coritiba. “In 2006, I lived in Couto Pereira and walked around here all day dreaming of playing with the stadium full and everyone screaming my name. Thank God within a year, that happened,” said Keirrison.

On a random note, did you know his father named him Keirrison because he was inspired by Jim Morrison of The Doors?

One of Brazil’s most promising strikers, Keirrison, may very well become a Barça player next season! Not surprising as he’s been on the radar of some of the top European clubs all season. In this case, the deal will only go through if his representative, Marcos Malaquias, reaches an agreement with Laporta’s Men In Black.

However, Palmeiras must agree to let Keri go – a prospect which may be easier than expected. After all, Palmeiras fans have been unhappy with the striker, pointing accusatory fingers at him for the club’s failures after eliminations from the Paulista Championship and Copa Libertadores. Oh, they even nicknamed him Pipokeirrison!

If Keirrison goes to Europe, there’s a better chance of obtaining a spot in the highly competitive selecao. You know Dopey prefers hardworking, “Champions League” types and Keirrison will fit in well the Catalan giants.
