Santos Futebol Clube, Parte IV [R]

Well Diego Souza just signed with Cruzeiro. I can only hope that this is a sign that we will get Montillo.

 

Seems like Eron is a done deal. LB from Atletico-MG, he was playing at Atletico-GO this season at loan, he is 20 years old. Dunno what to expect tbh.



Hmmm more reports linking us to Montillo... And it also seems like we are very close to signing Renê Júnior, DMF from Ponte Preta, 23 years old, on loan for a year.

 

Ademir says that Renê Junior is a done deal. CMF that played for Ponte Preta his season, a one year loan.

 

Gabigol is doing great at our sub17, he scored both of our goals:




That second goal... Jesus. The goalie didn't do a great job, but what a finish!

 

Well my fellow santista friends are pleased with Rene, sayig he is a young talent, a good bet... But of course he won't be the one to fix our team by himself.

It's strange how you see team sthat have bigger debts than us, yet are not afraid to spend like mad, even European teams that earn 10x more money than us per year have even bigger debts... Makes you doubt if all these sacrifices to reduce our debts are worth it... Yet I can only imagine that this big "debt bubble" will blow up one day, and I wouldn't want Santos to be anywhere close. We are talking about bankruptcy here, it could mean the end of a club.

 

Indeed. Muricy promised live on radio that after the Copa São Paulo de Juniores ends, he's gonna promote Gustavo, Jubal, Leandrinho and Lucas Otávio to the first team, maybe more if our youth coach recommends anyone. If that really happens I will be pleased.

 

Neymar has just received the title of " Hors Concours" from Placar, the most important and traditional football magazine in Brazil... The only other player to EVER receive that, was Mr. Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known as Pelé.


Well... It's the biggest honor a brazillian can receive from the Brazillian media... But to receive it so soon... He won't be able to participate in any other award by this magazine. They rushed this decision IMO, they should've waited until he was 35 and ready to retire, hopefuly with a few WC cups on his luggage...

Anyway, congratulations Neymar! I'm blessed to see another important page in Brazillian Football History being written in front of my eyes.

I did. Basically he said that Neymar is a genius, but has yet to prove that he can play well against defenses which studied him enough and know how to close him down.

You can watch it here (Tim Vickery's part is at around 17:00):

Now it seems like not ven Robinho will come, his father said he won't leave Milan in January... IT's always like this, lots of rumours, I get excited, then disappointed. Our board sucks at signing players, period!
