How to dismantle a championship team in a year, the Benfica transfer thread! [R]

Benfica continues to attack the signing of Standard Liege's CB, Mangala.

Manchester United was at the Estadio da Luz on Wednesday to see Gaitan play in the CL match vs. Trabzonspor. Guess they saw Gaitan's amazing goal!!!

Carlos Martins to Chievo in Italy?

Nelson Oliviera and David Simao are rumored to be loaned to Beira-Mar.

I would love if we got a bit more depth at the winger position. I would be all for Eliseu, hes Portuguese, and I rate him higher then Perez, Nolito.

 

Eliseu is better than Perez, but definitely not better than Nolito.

Shaffer to be loaned to Uniao de Leiria. Carole's future undecided. I say loan them both. At least we can keep tabs on Shaffer in the Portuguese league. As for Carole, I like the kid and he shows a lot of potential. I want him loaned to a Portuguese team as well. We have Capdevila and Emerson.

Mangala & Coates are great CB's. Wonder if Benfica/Porto will chase these 2.

 

say it aint so Roberto sold to Saragoza for 8.6 million! wtf?!

 

BREAKING NEWS:

ROBERTO SOLD TO REAL ZARAGOZA FOR 8.6 MILLION EUROS!!!

http://abola.pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=279121

Benfica actually profited 100k from this deal. We didn't lose any money. Bought him for 8.5m and sold for 8.6m

Official Document!

WTF???

Does LFV and Rui Costa have to give the president of Real Zaragoza 2 blow jobs a day for the next 5 years to seal the deal??

Deal of the Century IMO right up there with whoever sold ice to an eskimo.

Something is not right about this transfer at all.

Apparently, ZARAGOZA doesn't have a penny to pay those it owes but it has 8 and change to pay for a keeper?!!

It's only a matter of time before the Spanish Federation looks into this farce.

 

Sale of the century!

 

Finally a smart move. What I don't understand from the hiearchy is why Benfica didn't go for Eduardo in the first place instead of this nonsense...

 

Benfica negotating with Besiktas to trade Cardozo for Hugo Almeida!!!
http://www.ojogo.pt/27-214/artigo939410.asp


After scoring 2 goals for Spain this week, Rodrigo guaranteed a spot on the team and will stay.
http://www.record.xl.pt/Futebol/Nacional/1a_liga/Benfica/interior.aspx?content_id=710290

Cesar Peixoto to go back to Braga?
http://www.record.xl.pt/Futebol/Nacional/1a_liga/Benfica/interior.aspx?content_id=710331

Athletico Madrid are going to include Salvio in the deal to get Falcao. -__-
Offering 35 million plus Salvio. That's a great deal.
http://www.ojogo.pt/27-214/artigo939385.asp

 

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

 

Well this is crazy.

 

Team needs some Portuguese content, might as well trade one big Paraguayan lump for a big Portuguese lump.

BTW, at 27 Almeida is a lot younger than I thought he was (I thought he was 30 or 31), I can live with this.

 

for once, i actually agree with you.

this seems real fishy.


but hey, atleast SLB got rid of him.

 

There you go
http://www.record.xl.pt/Futebol/Nacional/1a_liga/Benfica/interior.aspx?content_id=710410

 

I really hope the deal still goes through..lol

 

CMVM letter must of went something like this: "lolwut?"

 

even funnier than the transfer itself is Roberto coming out and saying that Benfica never gave him any room for error!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

Imagine if Roberto fails the medical because of some teeth problem.

 

José Shaffer loaned to U. Leiria.
