It's correct, gramatically, but brasilians say "você". we don't care much for brasilian portuguese... and what's a kopite? i have to admit, i don't know the slang terms for your teams, although i assume the skunks are newcasle, cuz of the jersey colours...

Bill Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 And thanks, nice to be here. BTW, what are your needs, reinforcement wise? Cuz there's a ball club up in Porto, named Boavista, usually the 4th or 5th in the league regularly, that got sentenced to relegation because of game-fixes, and it's quite possible they'll close doors. they're down in tons of debt, players leaving with wages behind, and i there's quite a few interesting players on their roster, and i'm sure they'll go anywhere at this point. just thought i'd mention it... Need Moutinho in the middle of the park, need a defensive midfielder (M'bia) we also need a goalscorer (Milito), THESE 3 ARE ON OUR WANTED LIST BUT TENTATIVE BIDS HAV BEEN PLACED JUST TO TEST THE WATER. We may offer a bit more depending on meetings with the clubs directors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sporting4ever Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Really? yup. it was a real story here for a couple of years. it was called "Apito dourado" (Golden whistle), and involved also 2nd and 3rd division clubs, and most notably Porto. Porto's cases we're found guilty of "only" intent of coersion, and since, by our (extremely fair) law, that's not the same as actual coersion, they only got 6 points deducted, instead of relegation. Just to show you the kind of 3rd world politics go on around here... anyways, boavista got relegated, and since they we're already way over-extended finantially, this could be the proverbial nail in the coffin. I hope so, since i hate the bastards. they we're champions about 8 years ago, with quite a few questionable wins on their way, so i'm hapy to see them go. Clear case of bitting more than they could chew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheryl roberts Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 we should just stop pissing around and just get the players we need, i can hardly believe we have left it so late to sign any players if davey moyes knew he wanted moutinho before the euros (i read somewhere hes actually been tracking his progress for 3 years) why has it took them almost 3 months to actually bid for the player. Look at tottenham they have just bought a quality player in luka modric and they had him signed up BEFORE the euro why couldnt we of done something similar. I think Moutinho could be the signing of the season if we could pull it off ive watched him a few times and he looks absolute quality id go as far to say that im not sure what it is but the buy out clause price in his contract sounds like a fair price for a player of his quality Ive been told from a good source that we actually have a lot more money than you think to spend, ive heard its actually around 50 million with no extra for january transfer window heres how i would spend it Moutinho 20 mill Mbia 8 mill Cana 5 mill 10-12 million on a decent striker leaves around 5 million for a couple of squad players ie a right back and a no2 goalie i reckon if we got these players too add to our other quality players we could almost definetely break into the top 4 what does anyone else think?

Sporting4ever Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Well, if you do have that kind of money, then use it wisely just a few facts on JM's last season: Sporting 07/08: Total Games: 56 Starting 11: 55 Substituted: 01 Used sub: 01 Goals: 06 League 07/08: Total Games: 30 Starting 11: 30 Substituted: 01 Goals: 04 League Cup 07/08: Total Games: 07 Starting 11: 06 Used sub: 01 National Cup 07/08 Total games: 06 Starting 11: 06 Goals: 01 Champions League 07/08: Total games: 06 Starting 11: 06 Goals: 01 UEFA Cup07/08: Total games: 06 Starting 11: 06 Supertaça 07/08 (played between previous year's champion and cup winner): Total games: 01 Starting 11: 01 So that's 54 full games played, one substitution (i think it was at about 80') and once he was in the bench, but came on. that's all the games sporting played last season, and he was on all of them. the boy is a powerhouse of endurance. and he still managed to go the Euro and do some nice things there. So you see, he is indeed worth all that and more:) Anyways, it's just about game time, Sporting Vs. Sampdoria, so, if you have any way to check that, go ahead and do, you'll see him in action there.

macca93efc Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 we should bid 18mil now before arsenal, were messing around trying to get him for £13m. looks obvious sporting wont accept anything less. if anyone watched the game vs psv is wasnt great though gosling and rodwell did show they could be future stars. so maybe get smith for £1.5m, (i know but we need numbers at least) m'bia for £6m, moutinho and whoever else they can. we were promised signings last week! were are they? come on Bill get your chequebook out!!!

You need ours, we don't need yours Well, good for her. but you have to admit, she's the exception, not the rule. most brits have a holier than though atitute regarding this. but hei, could be worse. u could be a yank anyways, back on topic, someone said thata him not wanting to join EFC was bullocks, and then quoted his interview in which he said he wanted to leave. His claim of personal problems as a reason for departure has also been more or less explained, seems his family has incurred some debts, and the lad wants more money fast so he can solve them. A couple of months ago, before the Euro, when asked about it, he said he was confortable here, that he didn't have plans to leave in an imediate future. then all of a sudden, his will is to leave? something changed, you don't just decide after a few months that you want to leave a team playing for championships and in the Champions League to play for european qualification. and since his contract got revised last season as well, the only reason i see is that he needs more money, for some reason... We do need one of your players though!!!!! smile.gif From the things i've read around here, you could use more than one, but we're not selling Edited August 10, 2008 by Sporting4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Moutinho is a no go becasue we can't raise enough cash. Its not really reporting much new but at least its a more reliable source from a major broadcaster. I'd be happy with those three as a start, we would still need another midfield player but this would be a excellent start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
