2019/24 Shoya Nakajima @ FC Porto (POR)

That super block on the jersey back must be declared illegal.

Let's wait for UCL seeds to see him against the best of the european football.

 

Super Block?

 

Surely you don't think Nakajima's (Japan's already proven talent) move to Porto was due to a Castillas player? Lol.

 

Of course not, but having watched Kubo, his natural competitor in the national team signed for arguably the best football club in the world, maybe Nakajima feels the urgent need for him to be back at European League and challenge himself to be a better player.

 

Hi Krilin, how are you ?

 

Sorry, SUPER BOCK.

 

Is that supposed to be an insult? Are you an internet troll?

 

Don't they play different positions? In a few years ideally Japan should fit both in. Right now I still give Nakajima the edge.

 

That money laundering thing? How'd that work? So now Qatari not only investing for a club but for a player as well?

 

I'm bad at these things but, who take advantage of this money laundering?

Portimonense took 35 milions for Nakajima
Qatari took 20 milions for Nakajima
Porto spent 20 milions for Nakajima

Where's the laundering?

 

The money a buying club spends for a player is one things, the money the selling club actually receives for that same player is another. The difference is in the commissions, and partnerships.

 

When i looked for the ties between Al Duhail and QSI, i've found nothing. That's why i'd little bit skeptical about his move to Al Duhail as an intermediary for his future at PSG. At that time.

Never known that PSG director is a former Porto director, is he the one replacing Leonardo when he went to AC Milan-and now that he's gone, Leonardo is back to PSG, leaving such a mess at Milan?
Okay, i've found a little bit of a clarity here.

Sporting right and economic right is nothing new since it's been introduced by Kia Joorabchian, i think.

Of course i've never thought that this kind of thing just happened unplanned, i just couldn't figured it how, the true premises doesn't always leads to a correct conclusion, anyway, so...

 

This is clearly beyond my possibilities to understand.
Anyway let's hope this links will give him a chance, if he succeed in Porto, to move to PSG someday.
But I see him more as a profile good for Barca (aka skilled midget not exactly sympathetic).

 

Porto switched his number from 8 to 10.

Can someone give me a brief hoe-down of what the team is currently like? (playing style, key players, etc.) I don't know anything about Porto other than that they're fairly dominant in their own league, they have a history of picking up young, talented players that they sell to big(ger) teams, and they usually get some older players past their prime (ex. Pepe, Casillas, etc.). Thanks in advance.

 

Porto's had better days. They've one just 1 league title in the past 5 years, switched coach multiple times, and haven't made a big sell in longer than normal by Porto's standards (except for Militão). The business model used to be scouting young Latino talents, develop them and make big money selling them to deep pocketed clubs. However, in the recent years Porto seemed to have lost its flair for young prospects due to poor management. There was an attempt (which I never understood) at bringing a bunch of Mexican players who turned out to bring little football and financial value, and letting go of talented local players (Ruben Neves). The squad is mainly composed of foreigners, most Portuguese players having been phased out. Midfield Danilo and Alex Telles, though not the most flashy, are among the most influential players. Zé Luis seems to be a good add-on for the attack. Overall, the squad is composed of decent players, who can play compact, but not much more than that. They'll feature ok in the domestic league, but will most likely fall short of the title. Their CL campaign will mostly depend on who they draw, but in normal situation it wouldn't be surprising to see them make it at least to the 8th finals.
Nakajima is good player and it looks like he will be handed a spot in the starting 11, and I can't see anyone able to threaten his jon at the moment. Had it been 10 years ago, it would have been a whole different story.

 

Scored in a training game yesterday.

Anyway, Nakajima needs to regain his pre-Qatar level, it just takes a little while.

 

Nice season begin.
Not even on the bench cuz he can't defend.
Sure.
Where I hear this before? Oh it was in England some years ago before Twitter geeks started that hashtag about #free some japanese dude. Can't remember very well sorry.
