C.R. Flamengo 2014: Rumo ao Bi [R]

Yeah, they've lost both of their creative players in Everton and PB. I'm curious to see what they'll do as far as signings go. I'm not sure how many more unknowns are going to step up for them like they did last season (Marcelo, Ederson, Leo).

 

Not official, but the club seems to have positioned itself away from re-signing him. They may be right in doing that too, because I certainly didn't expect much from him anymore last year. Last season could have been his swan song...

 

Acordo trava, e Elias deve se reapresentar ao Sporting já na próxima semana
O ano está próximo do fim, o empréstimo de Elias também e, até agora, não há solução para a manutenção do volante no Flamengo...

This won't end good...

 

The Rafinha-Feijão loan swap has been finalized.

 

Some better news...

I know he'd just be the backup, but no, please.

Not a fan, and I doubt his salary is anything friendly.

I'd rather have Obina or Souza for cheaper.

 

Na véspera da reapresentação, o Flamengo corre para contratar Elano http://t.co/KnGOc9TN0c

Wow, I had feared this happening...

 

One source is saying Elano to Fla is a done deal.

He's pretty much Kléberson 2.0 at this point of his career. For someone who dropped out of the lineup at both Santos and Gremio, I'm worried.

 

Yes, I don't like his body language on the pitch. Seems to not care and give no effort, much like Kléberson did. And if he's not guaranteed a starting spot, you definitely won't get anything.

Another question is who is he replacing in the current lineup? Elias? Elias work rate is miles better and he does a better job making runs and marking.

 

Adryan loan deal to Cagliari is all but finalized. The deal is for a year and a half and extends his contract with Fla by the same period. There's also a big clause in the deal, but the value was not disclosed.

Diego Silva has been loaned out to Portuguesa. Hopefully, Val is next. That'll just leave Paulinho and Bruninho from our Paulista signings last year and I'm OK with that.

In negotiations with Frickson Erazo. Interesting choice. If this goes through, I don't see the point on keeping both Gonzalez and Chicao.
