Not rubbing it in but this from the Grauniad.

With Martins, Owen and Viduka in front of him he would have been very useful at the Geordies, although it is a good sign for your lot that he is the type of player Allardyce was looking to recruit.

Already deflated after seeing their team thoroughly outplayed, Newcastle United's fans will not be exactly thrilled to learn that the Brazilian playmaker who did so much to make this visit a chastening experience could conceivably have been playing in their own club's colours.
Sam Allardyce had Elano Blumer on his list of possible summer transfers, but interest had to be put on hold while the club changed ownership and Manchester City got there before them. Allardyce is not a man to be consumed by what-ifs, but it is fair to say it might become a permanent source of regret.
