2009 Summer Signings/Transfers/Rumours/News Thread

Roca's agent:

"Fábio is tired of this situation. He wants to play. People say that he's fat, but he isn't fat...he had a son and is more mature."

That made my day. I can't stop thinking that Roca was pregnant.

Well Izmailov just said that if Bento leaves, he too doesn´t want to stick around.....Interesting.

I read that sporting is interested in river plate star Diego Buonanotte, who was also linked with Benfica a couple of months back.

That would be a great acquisition.

We dont need him. He lacks the size and strength that we need. What the club should be trying to strengthen is that backline. Right back and a center back. Not only that. but a midfielder that would fight for every ball and work his tail off would be nice

So Rochemback is out. Who comes in before the deadline?

^nobody.

looks like we signed angulo from valencia he was out of contract

great an old attacking midfielder. just what we need

Another high salary.
This club is pissing me off, while others are signing players, that they can turn around and sell for a profit. We get players out of contracts. Where the f is the recruting, at least in the Peseiro era we did some recruting in South America.

Still PB doesn't realize we need defenders.

Considering one more player will be added to the squad, a defender is still a possibility

Thats exactly why FCP wins everything. They know how to scout. Not purchase a bunch of overrated crap. Thank god we have a decent youth academy, otherwise, we'd be sh*t. At least we got him on a free transfer

they want to grab the profits from the sale of youth academy players.

but yeah would be nice to sign more players whose value would likely go up

but imo, Vukcevic and Matias Fernandez are players with an upside whom can be sold for a profit in the future.

Izmailov, I dont think we own his full pass but I would put him in that bracket as well.

sporting needs to b looking for defenders man...their defense is weak... other than carriço who in sportings defense is playin well?? polga marques n pedro silva r just not doin it

I agree but Sporting give up alot less goals then most teams in the liga last season.

thats probable how the board is looking at it.

M. United is desperate and taking in consideration the existent partnership between clubs, R. Patrício seems to be the ideal choice.

That would be a hell of a move for Rui Patricio. I'm sure he would impress there, he's getting a little better every game.

ManU must of had people/scouts watching the Porto vs. Sporting game because Patricio had some pretty good saves. Not only did he save the PK, but he made some fantastic 2-3 great saves during play as well.

wat they hell are we man united's youth team. first was ronaldo, then nani, talks of both miguel veloso and joao moutinho, but now patricio. we should could keep him for a couple of more years so his stock increases then cash in

These are the reasons why I DO NOT support any of the top clubs in Europe. =( give us a facking break

its always benfica or porto fans getting excited over our players leaving

Well, who else would get excited over the likes of CR7 and Quaresma leaving....? Sporting fans?

Thats what happens when you're the only team in Portugal producing talent...
