City has a new owner with deep pockets, so I guess it will depend on how badly SGE wants Nery. But I have to agree that Nery might as well stay in Greece. Nothing against the Ukranian laegue, but two words: WINTER -- BRRRRRRRRRR
Well it looks like its almost official, Nery Castillo to Shaktar Donetsk http://www.mediotiempo.com/noticia.php?id_noticia=42443
I just hope Nery doesnt rot in the Ukraine as he will carry around all that money in that mediocre of a league. Just hope this doesn't hurt us when he plays for the NT
I don't think its a horrible move. I think that if he goes to the Ukraine it will only be for one year at the most. I think that because he won't have the emotional attachment to the Ukraine he can always tell them that its not working out for him there, I don't know how Shakhtar will feel about that, because I don't think they're very likely to get that kind of money in return for him unless he has a spectacular season.
It's not a bad move for him.......that's just a lot of dough to turn down....I don't care what anybody says. Supposedly it's a 5 year contract, but I just don't see him staying there that long. You know what's funny? Donetsk and Olympiakos are rumored to be in the same Champions League group.
Shaktar is in the 2nd qualifying round..Olympiakos is chilling and waiting 2 rounds later with the big boys in the group stage.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League_2007-08
Yup.. and two more things... 1. It's not official yet... 2. Do you really think that the Greek League is that much superior to the Ukranian League?
idk with teams like Valencia and Man city going after him come on!! yes the money is great but is he thinking about his carrer his potential as a player. For team like Olympiacos and that other team from Ukraine the CL is a very short tournament it's not like the Prem. or La Liga were u'll get the best game after game, my 2 cents.
The team is the one that's accepting the offer. They're not going to send him to Man City or Valencia because they're better teams. If they want him they have to outbid Shakhtar or at least match it.
can't beleve u wasted time posting this s&it read the last part of my post JUST MY 2 CENTS BTW becauseigothigh good point
Just watched Diario Fox Sports and it said "Nery no quiere ir a Ucrania." I'm sure with the other offers that have come up he would probably be more interested in Man City or Valencia. I was also watching Gol TV noticias and they mentioned that Nery's agent has been contacting Real Madrid and Chelsea so it would be weird for Nery to want to go to Ukraine.
