Portuguese Players Playing Abroad Thread [R]

The press conference happened today, but Maniche apparently didn't say much....he has no choice but to work and keep his mouth shut. He signed for 5 years....it will be 5 long years.

Stuttgart ties again 1-1 Armenia B.

F.Meira hasn't tasted the taste of victory yet i believe.

 

Abel Xavier is starting for Boro Vs Arsenal

 

Abel Xavier is having a pretty good game. Almost at half time. It is always nice to see a felow country man do good.

Final result Boro 2-1 Arsenal

Xavier played 90 minutes and also a guy named Rochemback.

 

Nuno Valente started in his first game for Everton.

Everton 0-1 Portsmouth

Nuno got an yellow card in the 84th minute. Azar Karadas also played of the bench for Portsmouth.

Derlei with 2 for Dynamo Moscow as they beat Rubin Kazan 3-1

 

Out of all the players Dynamo bought, Derlei was the only one that has deserved their money.

 

What about Jorge Ribeiro?

 

Highly over rated. If he was that good don't you think Porto would have sign him? They were looking for a player for that position and J.Ribeiro was never mentioned. He is good but not great....

 

I think slowly portugal is rising to the top of the world....What we really need to do now is empregante as much women as possible to get the nations population up!!

Come on boys, get busy, we got work to do here... NYC has DOUBLE the amout of people that our WHOLE country!

 

Maniche scored a monster over the weekend in that Rubin game:

Nice goal but there was a deflection on it. It's nice to see Maniche scoring.

Did you guys notice how empty the stadium was?

 

thanks CR7! Any chance of getting Derlei's goals?

 

Thanks for the Maniche goal...That was a beast of a shot....and i didnt see any deflection...?

regardless, you guys see how they spell his name over there...MAHNIJJE!...louco russians....lol

And they weather over there is soooo garbage...no sun at all just clouds. I would hate to live there, or even play there if i had the oppertunity.



I wonder if they like us now in Russia?

 

4 million euros for Costinha seems right to me, the 16 million for Maniche maybe after the Euro 2004 but still i think we could had sold him for at least 10 to any other team, Danny wasn´t to expensive either mainly because he has played very well in Dinamo from what i have heard, about Cícero, Thiago, Frechaut, Jorge Ribeiro(i don´t know fo how much he was sold), Luis Loureiro, Seitaridis and Enakharire i can agree they paid too much for them.

 

I am talking about what they produce on the field were they worth the money.

Based on their on field performance only Derlei has shown that he was a good addition. Not to say the other won't get into a zone going forward. But as of now, he is a one man wrecking crew.

 

Cícero?....Is that the young black kid who played along side Vaz Te during the toulon tournament?

 

Ok i get your point, maybe they need time to settle and to adapt to a new life in a new league.

 

Well, Cícero also played but there was also João Moreira from Valencia if i am not mistaken.

 

Well i have a highlight of VAz Te scoring a goal and Cicero is beside him when he scores....Cicero looks like he has a little more meat on him....regardless, who is better Cicero or Joao Moreira?

 

Alex started for Wolfsburg on the 3-0 loss to Hertha Berlin.
