Ansaldi saga continues... http://www.abola.pt/wter/wfotosdia/pagina.html Twente lowers Ola John's transfer to 12 million. Kid got potential, but still a bit much. http://abola.pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=330171 Roma and Lazio want Garay. I would like to keep him. http://abola.pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=329945 Benfica interested in Columbian striker, Jackson Martinez. http://abola.pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=329901 IMO, sell Cardozo, Emerson and Gaitan, buy Ansaldi and Salvio and call it a transfer season!
Sidnei is coming back. Not sure if the plan is to use Miguel Vitor/Sidnei/Jardel as a Luisao's partner, but I like Garay ahead of all of them. Anyone see or hear anything about Sidnei's performances out in Turkey?
Where did our keeper come from ? As far as clubs like Villarea and Malaga, are you just stating an opinion or have you read somewhere that they are really interested and at those figures ? I think he is worth 10 million, Im just not sure those teams are interested in him. At least I have not read any articles to that affect.
Anyone heard any updates on Jessie of Real Madrid ? Last I heard, he rejected to re sign with Real Madrid because they refused to guarantee him first team playing time. He also turned down a contract offer from the Gunners. He is actually still very motivated to play for Benfica. Anyone know if this is true or can add to it ?
using malaga and villareal as examples no portuguese club will play more the 6M and team in spain will easily double that
Well, that is your opinion and it is worth as much as everyone else's. At 28, Im not sure he will get over 10 million in the open market. Not that he is not worth it, but at 28 and coming from a small team, he will not get what he is worth. Then again, that is only my opinion. My opinion, he stays in Portugal. I think both Benfica and Porto should make bids for him. Porto would make even more sense as they will be loosing some goal scoring when Hulk leaves.
I heard Benfica are asking 60m for Cardozo, if thats true he won't be going anywhere. Cardozo is worth about 20 to 25m at best.
I think you have Cardozo mixed up with Port's Hulk. Benfica have no players going for that kind of price. I would settle for 15 to 20 million for Cardozo
If reports of Ola John coming to Benfica are true, that is a huge purchase. This kid, at his age, has already been called up by the Netherland senior national team this winter. As good as that team is, for him to get called up by them says a lot. Hope this goes through. This kid is going to be a star.
Benfica intereted in another Dutch superstar, Luuk de Jong. He's got attention from all over Europe. I see him going to the Premier League, but Ola John and Luuk would be amazing signings.
Valencia interested in Nolito. Really hope he stays and becomes a first team option on a weekly basis.
Benfica is going to renew Airton's loan to Flamengo. Soo stupid. If Javi is leaving, Airton should come back. Why would you loan a player 2 consecutive years in a row to a team in Brazil? He's getting no European experience. Might as well sell him at this point. I personally like him, he played DM and RB.
Maybe that is confirmation that Javi is not leaving ? I dont know one way or another. Just pointing out another way of looking at this.
I hope your right. We all know how important Javi is in that midfield. Lost every game without him. If he indeed leaves, whoever replaces him is going to have huge shoes to fill. JJ announced awhile ago that Matic will be his replacement and although he has been a good sub, he doesn't reassure my confidence in that position.
Benfica interested in Dramé, 26 year old Chievo(Italy) leftback from Senegal. Nestor Vidrio, 23 year old centerback of Pachuca, a possible reinforcement.
Instead of playing for Benfica, Taiwo plays for a relegated QPR lol. Out of the 4-5 LBs Benfica have been interested in, IMO, our realistic signing will be Siquiera from Granada. We have built a relationship with them, loaning and selling a total of 5 players in one season. Now it's our turn to cash in.
River Plate want to trade Funes Mori for Saviola. Benfica interested in 30 yr old RB, Rod Fanni from Marseille. LFV Is willing to sell Cardozo for 20 million.
