Antonio De Nigris at Gaziantepspor [R]

[implacable]

The "great" forward Antonio De Nigris who seems to be a on a quest to become a fact trivia by playing in the Final of Copa Intercontinental (with Colombia's Once Caldas where he only scored 1 goal all season!) the Final of the Sudamericana Cup with Pumas(from Mexico) and played in Spain first and second division with Villarreal, Ejido as well as three Mexican teams. I should note that he has played in ALL these teams without leaving much of mark. Now he's going to go play in Santos....not Santos Laguna from Torreón, but Santos do BRASIL! WTF?
A Mexican forward hired for a first class Brasilian team? Hired by none other than Vanderlei Luxemburgo(ex-Real Madrid Coach)??
That's just when you know that the Brasilian league has been raided of their talent beyond belief.

It's in portuguese but I like the quote by Luxemburgo where he says:
“In spite of the fact that he is not a player with a lot of technique, he has a great presence in the area and besides is a great finisher; I am sure that DE Nigris will adapt perfectly to Brazilian soccer and will be stand out in the games of the Santos”.

Men, Im just impress as you are,

A lit translation

The Saints announced in this monday the act of contract of the Lenílson stocking-right, northwestern, and of the Mexican aggressor Antonio De Nigris, who was in the Shandong Luneng, of China. The information was confirmed by the technician Vanderlei Luxemburg.
The direction of the Fish acquired 50% of the federative rights of Lenílson for about USS 600 a thousand. It signed contract per three years and will be presented to the press only after the ending of the São Paulo Championship - it last round occurs in day 9 of April. It is the prominence of the club of Bauru, that occupies the room rank in the State one.
"Already it in the mining soccer knew, when I trained the Cruise [ in 2003 ], it had good ticket in Atlético-MG and America-MG. It is a new athlete [ has 24 years ] and was disappeared, but now that he came back to appear, he is more mature and he has much technique ", analyzed Luxemburg.
Already De Nigris, 27, closed agreement until the December end and still it does not have date to be presented. With ticket for the election of its country, the avante played the America Pantry of 2001, and was runner-up of the World-wide Interclubes for the Once Caldas, in 2004.

Maybe the brazilians are confusing To~o de Nigris with Aldo de Nigris.

Youge Mistake.

[Danck989]

This is rather strange. and there's still 9 days till april fool's day so it cant be a joke. De Nigris simply hasnt been able to cut it anywhere other than in Monterrey on his debut season.

Oh and Rockaias your avatar almost turned my stomache

[jared9999]

no que estaba en china?

[implacable]

Lo de China no se hizo, por que según eso fue por que le habían ofrecido $850,000 (US) y cuando llegó le cambiaron el contrato y se decidió regresar.

[Mosco]

I am freaken shocke wtf how in the hell does this washed up de nigris make it to internantional talented teams and we have far greater deph in our Mfl I can't understand it! I would think that Luxenberg would have better judgement but I guess some people are blind look at what happened when this guy was at once caldas of Colombia atleast they could of picked up Jaime Lozano of Tigres or Luis Perez of Monterrey???? But you got me???

[la fresa]

this is, by far, the funniest football related transfer i've ever seen. Santos must have been suckered pretty badly by his agent or something.

[Rafael Hernandez]

Signings like Antonio Denigris going to Santos and Villareal and Sergio Almaguer going to Galatasaray show that mexicans could go play in europe and anywhere if they really wanted too.

[Mosco]

I would think de nigris would end up in the msl

[FMF_LFP]

Im still in awe..

To make this clean No more comments

[Mosco]

wasn't this the club oswaldo was supposed to go too?

[El Dude Malacopa]

De Nigris has always been a player who WANTS to play outside Mexico.

He's in for the adventure and experience... even if he's not one of our best, he still has the vision and mentality to play anywhere.

He's had more teams outside Mexico than in Mexico.

[CheveLoco]

u know why he's there...but he didn't give a shit about not getting 3 million dollars to play there...

[Piedraias]

let's keep it real. he's not worth 3 million here nor there.

i think he's aware of that.

[Mosco]

that was agood one!

[Various Styles]

let's keep it real. he's not worth 3 million here nor there.

If you are talking about Oswaldo, then he is worth that and more; just on marketing alone; EA fifa cover, Pan Pingo, Dorito ad's, nuff said.. .

I'm talking about To~o de Nigris.

Aldo's further development continues to intrigue me.

[Differ]

Damn, this transfer came outta left field. This guy can't even make a starting line-up in Mexico...yet he goes to play in Brazil. Unbelievable. Brazil's talent scouts outside of the country need to be examined. Oh, and Rockaias your avatar is really starting to freak me out, what is that?
