Rumours are circulating that Real Madrid will not renew the contracts of Luis Figo. Manchester Untied will offer the free agent a new 2 year deal worth $200,000 a week. or a 2 year $ 19.2 million dollar deal.
He has the #7 waiting for him at Sporting. If anything, I really feel that he will want to wind up his career when he has a shot at contributing to a SCP title. He has said time and time again that he wants to finish with SCP and win the SuperLiga with them, so I am holding him to his promise. C'mon home, Luis - Sportinguistas are salivating waiting for your return.
He can still go to Manchester United for a couple of years and then play one year with Sporting CP. It not suprise me when he is completed playing that he buys a ton of Shares in Sporting and own 25% of the Club.
I personally think it will be a bad move if he decides to go to Man u, for the simple reason that the pace of the Epl is too fast for somebody who's lost a step over the last year. We all seen what he did at the Euro's and that was basically play a good 45 min. and then wonder around for the rest of the game and throw himself to the ground. Still a very good player if allowed to play only half a game but just an above average player when he's left outhere for the full 90 minutes.
I agree 100%. We all watched Figo at Euro sweatin buckets like he just came out of a frickin sauna, or like he was playin soccer in the frickin Sahara. The hair gel starts to run down his frickin face(lookin like Tammy Faye Baker), he starts to stumble...its happening more than usual. I love the guy...eh, if anybody stuck up for him or was his PR guy it was me. But Figo ain't a starter for the Portuguese NT...how do u expect him to get decent playing time for the elite of Europe. Gimme a break! Ok, he's Real Madrid's best player...but that's gonna last all of this year and part of the next...and that's it! Plus It's kinda lookin like Real won't even sign him after this year. So what's he gonna do now? Sign for ManU? Sign for Inter Milan? Sign for Tel Aviv? Figo should just go to Sporting...play two more seasons and then call it caputo. Hang up the sneakers...get buzy with the wife, have 10 more kids. Keep it simple. The guy has had an amazing career...the average player and fan would kill, well thats a bit harsh, mame a person for what he's done professionally. Anyways thats my 0.02
Thats what we need aother good winger so it will be figo and Ronoldo on each side because giggs is the man but not right now need a new face in there ....Glory Glory MAN UTD
He wouldn´t have any kind of problem in England, he still is a great player, the Euro 04 situation was different, because he had played more than 60 games with Real Madrid after a pre season around the world... I was also disapointed with is performances in Euro, but i saw most of his games in Real Madrid and he was constantly one of the best "galacticos", only he and Raul had some dignity last year.
is he taking Giggs place? i don't think so, is he taking Ronaldo's place? i don't think so? does he want to be benched? i don't think so..nuf' said
I could see him going to Chelsea seeing as they don't have a true right-winger... would be a good fit for him IMO. But honestly I think if he doesn't go to Chelsea it'll be back to Portugal unless Milan get him... which reminds me Milan are the Bolton of Italy but with sucess...
Chelsea is trying to buy joaquin to RW, Mourinho doens't want Figo, cause he's too old and expensice, Joaquin is almost the same price and he's younger
You think price matters at Chelsea? They could get them both... but either way, I could see both going anyways. Simply because Mourinho is very smart with rotating players every other game or so
Figo can easily replace Giggs...and I'm sure Sir Alex would like a 2nd world class right winger... Because he's over playing Ronaldo and he knows it... he just doesn't have a choice becuase there's no one else who's able to make an impact on that side.
We have to remember that Carlos Queiros is at United and is very close to Figo. The idea of Figo moving to Man United is not out of the question.
