Hi, there. I will be reviewing this article. Considering its length, I should be able to finish quite quickly. Rafablu88 (talk) 19:40, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CONCLUSION

I'm afraid I'm going to quick-fail this article nomination on multiple counts.

The lead is too short and does not summarise the article.
Biography mostly lists the adoption court case and not his life up to starting at Lumezzane.
Too much focus on last two seasons, especially with details of goals scored.
No section on his contribution to Torneo Giacinto Facchetti and Torneo Viareggio
References include blogs like Soccerlens.

So: QUICK-FAIL

To make this a GA, my advice would to extend it and reword it and find more accurate sources. See Cesc Fabregas as a nice template to follow. (Also Tijani Babangida is another decent random example.) Good luck with it in the future. If you do nominate again, I'd be more than happy to review it for you, just drop me a line. I am interested on the subject and topic and would like to see it get to GA. Maybe ask for some help from the football portal people. Rafablu88 (talk) 20:09, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
