Baptista to Sunderland?

Or is someone on wiki having a laugh?

Júlio César Baptista (born 1 October 1981 in São Paulo) is a football player from Brazil. Nicknamed la Bestia (the Beast) or the Tank, he plays as an attacking midfielder for Sunderland AFC.

I'm writing a little bio of him for this photography website I write for (unpaid ) and came across this.

Probably bollocks, as a lot of stuff is on there, but one to keep an eye on.

Having a laugh I would've thought - based on one of the 45,000 "sightings" being reported on the BBC's transfer window update page.

Probably right, going by this a bit further down the page:

Referred to as the "Beast of Sevilla" and even as the "Brazilian Alex Rae"

I'm definately putting that in!

He who edited his current club, forgot a few things, so all I can see is this:
