There's been a lot of talk the past few days linking Napoli with a move for Brazilian midfielder Josue. Would be a good signing to go with Hamsik, Lavezzi and Gargano. 8)

Napoli After Sao Paolo Star
According to the Brazilian press, Napoli are looking to add a Copa America winner to their roster in the form of Sao Paolo defensive midfielder Josue.
The 28-year-old was one of Brazil’s most steady performers in Venezuela last month, which inevitably made him a target for a number of European clubs. It would now appear that Napoli have emerged as frontrunners in the race for his signature.
“I hope Josue won’t leave and that he will stay until the end of the season at least,” said Sao Paolo manager Muricy Ramalho, with a note of resignation already evident in his voice.
“Napoli’s offer is higher than what we have offered the player and I have to accept that we are not in a position to compete with European clubs financially.”
Spanish side Murcia are also hot on the trail of Josue, full name Josue Anunciato de Oliveira, but their offer of a four-year deal for €750.000 looks set to be bettered by the Neapolitans.

I've also been seeing some stuff about Recoba possibly moving to Napoli. If that happens, I wouldn't complain.
