I stumbled upon these articles that say Sporting have some interest in Pauleta, and perhaps the feeling is mutual: http://www.abola.pt/nnh/index.asp?op=ver¬icia=71302&tema=4 I doubt anything will develop on this front, but it looks like there is some friction between Pauleta and his coach, Vahid Halilhodzic and perhaps he may be on the outs from PSG...
At this time would Sporting benifit from a 31 yearl old striker who seems to have lost his touch more often than not.
This rumour also surfaced last year before he signed with PSG. I would sign him, but I am not sure he would want to leave PSG particularly if they advance in the champions league.
Yeah...Porto could use another striker upfront I thought they had Derlei, McCarthy, Postiga, Fabiano, and Almeida
I cannot see this happening due to the transfer value that PSG will demand. Besides, at 31 he isn't getting any younger, so I can't see SCP over-paying for an aging, yet still effective striker...
well, i have one brazilian friend that said that some board members were in the game Santos vs São Paulo and talked with santos board to ask about Robinho, but Robinho didn't played yesterday, so they'll be again this sunday in Santos game to see him play. My friend also said to me that Flamengo is closer to sign Roger
Pauleta would lead the Superliga in goals if he plays in it. the guy has been a force in the French ligue for a while now.
Liedson's shiftyness and age make himmore of a commodity than Pauleta. I don't think that Pauleta will come back to Portugal until he is ready to retire, perhaps in 2 more seasons. Then, it's off to either Porto or...Santa Clara
O Jogo is saying today that Sporting will indeed look to buy a striker in January, but they say it's not going to be Pauleta. www.ojogo.pt
If Pauleta is coming to Portugal he will surely go to one of the Big 3. They offer the best chances to win. If he wants to play for a smaller, less ambitious club, he will probably go to Santa Clara. They could use his drawing power, too, and perhaps propel them to the SuperLiga.
