[edit] Bahrain Visit

Seems out of place alongside the rest of the information about his club career. Also contains strong POV statements as well as an unencyclopedic tone and language. Thats why I originally removed it. If anyone feels they can clean it up better, then that would be great.

[edit] Name

Call him Adriano. Skinnyweed 14:14, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

  • In this article there appears to be a clear bias linking him to Manchester United. I would suggest a rewrite of much of the article, more specifically transfer speculation surrounding Adriano. He has been linked with other clubs much more profusely. --84.71.199.210 09:19, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adriano's free-kicks have reached speeds as high as 129.7kph (80.59 mph) , and he has a 45in vertical leap.

There is absolutely no way that Adriano has a vertical leap of 45". Such a vertical leap would place him amongst the highest leapers EVER to play in the NBA, and higher than players such as Alan Iverson, Kobe Bryant or Vince Carter. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.227.41.72 (talk) 06:36, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Soccer Fight

see the first 10 seconds of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_Ikq-zM4_4&mode=related&search=

(Adriano is fighting in his own defense)

is it worth a mention on front page?

so because he punched someone, that deserves to be in his little wikipedia bio ?...I think not Krayziegunts (talk) 10:32, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Well he's ok but not that great and he's not going to be n peles top players —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.251.54.3 (talk) 15:12, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Why does it say he plays for Chelsea in the appearance part?

[edit] 2005 Champions League Top Scorer

Adriano finished the 2004/2005 Champions League campaign as the Top Scorer with 10 goals. This is a milestone that should be mentioned as part of his individual honors. Only Kaka recently achieved such a record when he scored 10 goals for the 2006/2007 Champions League campaign. You can see it in Kaka's article. So why can't the same be done for Adriano ?
