Ney Fabiano, Chonburi FC’s Brazilian striker, is playing his last game for the the Thai champions tonight. According to the Bangkok Post, Fabiano is moving to Australia.
It was Stephane Baga that made the biggest impression when Melbourne Victory played Chonburi in March, but Fabiano set Chonburi on their way with his first half goal. He’s an instrumental cog in Chonburi’s front third, and if the news is true, the Thai team will miss him.
The obvious question, though, is where in Australia he may be heading. Victory seem to be the most likely contenders, since they have dealt first-hand with the striker. With Archie Thompson injured, Nathan Elasi untested, and Leandro Love left by the wayside, Fabiano may find himself with alongside Danny Allsopp in no time. Perhaps even against Chonburi in two weeks?
Of course, the interest for Fabiano could be coming from anywhere. But I, for one, won’t mind if it’s Melbourne showing him the transfer papers.
Meanwhile, rumours on the MVFC forum are that Scott Chipperfield is in negotiations with the Victory.

We don’t get to see much Asian football so it’s hard to know if Ney is any good based on one match between Melbourne and chomburi.
Leandro Love was supposed to be a super signing from the J-League so my question about Ney would be; is he the new Leandro Love or is he the new Fred?

Love couldn’t get a game in the J-League though. At least we’ve seen what Ney can do first hand plus he had good games against Gamba and Chunnam and he consitently plays for his team.

Yeah we need to start buying o/s players that actually play regularly. Ney seemed good during AFC, wouldmind having another look at Baga - did anyone see other footage of him?
