The once-capped Brazilian international has clearly not lived up to the billing Sam Allardyce gave him when he signed him from Lyon in the summer of 2007, asking the question - is he REALLY that bad, or does he need time to settle?
Being in the relegation zone, we haven't the time to nurse-maid a defender who is not producing the goods.
Steven Taylor still has a lot to learn, Jose Enrique blows hot and cold, and Nicky Butt is prone to 'putting the boot in' when he's in (or around) the penalty area ... so we don't need a (supposed) international-class player like Cacapa looking as though he's ready to shit his pants.
