I dont know how many of you have seen the kid play. In the champions league match against Real Madrid, he was pure quality. He took on players, showed great skill, great pace. The goal and nearly every attack that Werder Bremen had was only becoz of him. In the bundesliga highlights I see his great passing and play making aswell. For a while i have kept thinking of him as the next Kaka and now its on Goal.com:

Madrid Director Deems Diego The New Kaka?
Spanish sports daily Marca claims that an unnamed Real Madrid director has urged president Ramon Calderon to move mountains to sign Diego of Werder Bremen (pictured), the Brazilian midfielder being dubbed "the new Kaka"...
Marca claims that an unnamed Real Madrid figure has urged Ramon Calderon to complete the signing of Diego of Werder Bremen.
Madrid made an appraoch to the German club this summer for the attacking midfielder, only to be rebuffed, but their interest is all but dead, at least according to the Spanish press.
Apparently, the words, "The presidentmust sign Diego, he is the new Kaka," were uttered in the Bernabeu directors' box during last week's 2-1 win for Real Madrid over Werder in the Champions League.
The director, or directors, seemingly are enchanted not just with the player's undoubted skill, but his price tag. Calderon has a well-known Kaka obsession, but he would need to surely pay a ten-figure sum at the moment to land the midfielder.
At a quarter of the price - or 25 million euros - Diego is seen as something of a bargain. And, indeed, one that, in different circumstances, may already be a merengue.
Marca confirmed that Madrid were poised to move for the player as early as April, their initial approach being turned down by Werder Bremen, but that sporting director Pedja Mijatovic was on the verge of returning for a second try.
But by late August, the director's interest had waned due to alleged disciplinary problems with the player during his time at Porto. (According to Marca, there was no issue, other than Porto playing him out of position.)
In his natural position at Werder, Madrid seem to be captivated.
