Danny no Zenit por 30 milhões VALOR AVANÇADO POR CANAL TELEVISIVO RUSSO O internacional português Danny vai jogar no Zenit de São Petersburgo, depois de ter sido concluído o processo de transferência com o Dínamo Moscovo. Segundo a agência Lusa, o futebolista vai assinar contrato com o actual campeão da Taça UEFA "na próxima segunda-feira", de acordo com fontes dos dois clubes. O valor não foi confirmado, mas há dez dias, Danny tinha anunciado que o "Dínamo pretendia receber 30 milhões de euros pela transferência, mas o Zenit não foi além dos 25". Desta forma, o canal televisivo Sport avança hoje o valor de 30 milhões de euros, acrescentando que é "uma importância fantástica" para o futebol russo. Danny fez hoje o último jogo ao serviço do Dínamo, empatando no clássico com o Spartak a um golo.
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? Another Sporting player that went for next to nothing from Alvalade
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? Uh, He's been highly successful in Russia and that price tag shows it.
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? You misinterpreted what he was stating. He was stating that he left Sporting for a very small quantity of money. Not that he left and is doing squat. Although, personally, he can do better than Zenit, he's not getting any younger, unfortunately.
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? Russians always pay ridiculous fees for their players. i guess they have to when noone wants to play in their league. Remember the maniche/costinha deal back in 05? That one lasted all of 6 months.
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? Wow, €30 million is quite steep for Danny IMHO. I mean, considering that Arshavin was rumoured to be leaving for a fee in the neighbourhood of €25million - though Arshavin is a staple on the Russian NT and had a great Euro 2008 tournament as well as an impressive run during the UEFA Cup last season. While Danny is a great player in Russia, the fee discussed is really high considering that he is not a Portuguese international (1 cap is hardly an international) and club wise they haven't done squat...
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? He didn't show anything while with Sporting. Mind you, the club didn't give him much of a chance, either, but he was the main cog in the Dinamo team and the tactics used were well suited for his game. You can be a great player but if your coaches use you in a manner that are not conducive to your game, then you are bound to fail...
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? 30 Million??? wow can we get some footage of him in Russia?
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? You'll get to see him against Man Utd in the upcoming Super Cup game.
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? Only one cap thanks to our former scouting expert Scolari. He kept giving Hugo Viano chances when he wasnt playing well, yet never bothered to give Danny a look. Also, I read on maisfutebol the other day that Russia had approached him to see if he would become a Russian citizen and play for Russia. I'm glad he said no and I'm glad Queiroz called him up before this transfer occured or else everyone would be saying he got called up just because of the transfer amount. But this article from maisfutebol left me confused. I thought that once you played for a countries sub-21 squad you couldnt play for a different senior side???
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? I think that is what FIFA and Blatter are attempting to put into effect...
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? I agree he didnt show much while at Sporting but like you said he didnt get much of a chance. I saw his perfermances with Maritimo and with the youth sides and I thought he had great potential.
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? What a goal by Danny against Man Utd!!! Complete turn around of Rio!!!
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? His ball control is wonderful. He really does look like a good replacement for Deco. Although his long range passes and accuracy are no where near the same. Also, he seems to be playing a little more forward for Zenit at the moment. Bye bye Hugo... P.S: QZ is a god at scouting.
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? I'm really impressed by Quieroz calling getting Danny on the NT, especially before this big move happened, I mean why hasn't Scolari given him a chance. I'm not a follower of the russian league so I have never seen him play but wow he's impressed in the 2 games I've watched him play and he came inches from scoring on his first CAP, nice way to start his Zenit career as well.
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? Because Scolari is not really a big tactician or an extraordinary scouter. He is more about building a foundation, a family, and motivating them. We saw this when he was with Brasil, and very obviously when he was with Portugal. And the trend is continuing now at Chelsea it appears as well.
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? true Scolari's method is great and seems to work short term but eventually performances start to drop and it stops being effective especially when we have weak spots that need to be filled and he refuses to call up the players we need. You can see how we made a final, then a semi final, then a quarter final... I'm excited to see how CQ does with our NT
Re: Danny sold to Zenit for $30 million?!?!!? Danny man of the match!!!! Deco back up??? How about as second forward?
