The Ricardo Vaz Te Thread - No. 3 [R]

there is no disputing that pauleta is in form,but nuno gomes is a has-been.

ricardo vaz te even if he plays with the under 21 or for the world cup squa you will see why he is called the "vazmanian"sparkplug.

i see his foot skills,passes,strength>he is 6'2 and he can shot for yards away.

i say quaresma and vaz te are the two brights spots right now for portugal for the future.

as for cristiano ronaldo,he cant shoot for beans andreally needs to leave man u as soon as possibly nto because he sucks its just that the team is not suited for his style.

 

Back at you junior

Firstly, I never once mentioned Vaz Te. You said that only Pauleta is demonstrating consistency and not to say Gomes because his goals came very easy. I just wanted to know why you thought Pauleta's campaign differs from Nuno's. You include Pauleta when saying Portuguese strikers need the ball to be handed on a silver platter yet you also say he's demonstrating consistency.??

Why belittle either of their accomplisments? I think they're both having great campaigns.

 

pauleta is leading the scoring race in france
nuno gomes has like 13 goals and is in form
ricardo vaz te keeps impressing and has 3 goals

i can say our striker position looks promising

 

you just said Nuno was a has-been and now you telling us hes in form? Hows the cocaina in Toronto? The colombians putting in work these days huh...

P.S: vazmanian..lol....come one man. I will put up with the White Pearl for Ronaldo....but Vazmanian, sounds like some kind of perscription drug.

 

word.....He hasn't broken into the u-21 NT and you want scolari to call him up for the WC..at whos expense? Pauleta? Gomes? The kid doesn't even have consistent 1st team minutes on a minnow of a team. Let him play in the friendlies and such and worry about euro 2008.

 

I was responding to your post:

"No doubt that Vaz right now is Hot and appears to only be getting better and more comfortable and is showing consistancy that only Pauletta this year is demonstrating (don't say Nuno Gomes I know how many goals he has but please they came very easy)

I took exception to the text in bold and replied asking as to why you think that. So, you mentioned Gomes and Pauleta first. I was replying to your post failing to recognize that Gomes is also having a good season.

Now you say they, originally you said only Pauleta. My whole argument was you had no reason to slag Nuno. Judging by your reply I'm correct as it seems you finally agree they are both having good seasons.

 

Vaz Te is a kid, asswipe, brat.......whatever you want to call him.

If a guy doesn't start for his club, why shouold he take the place of the two best portuguese strikers right now?

Players should not be picked based on cool name, stylish hair and fancy dress code. This is not the NBA.

 

...or swagger

 

DAMN HATERS!

Anyway back to the original topic...

I don't know if it's been mentioned but apparently Borgetti is being linked with a move away from England (Benfica one of the rumored clubs interested).

I think Vaz Te will probably begin to play more now, but I think unless he shows something superbly prolific in the remainder of the season (let's say.. maybe 20 goals overall in the season) then he won't be going to the World Cup. I could see him getting a call-up to a friendly. As for the World Cup, I'd say the last striker spot (which hopefully doesn't go to Postiga) is between him and Almeida, which is rather bad because neither of them are solid in the 11 at their teams.

 

pauleta
gomes
almeida

vaz te will play for the under 21,where he will tear it up.

 

i agree put vaz te in that type of situation and he will thrive.

whoever is playing poorly put in vaz te,he seems like he is a sparkplug sub.

on that note hugo almeida is slacking off but his size would easily intimadate other teams.

 

This whole question started when I asked if you guys thought Ricardo would play for the under 21's. I dont think anyone really believes that the NT will call him up for the World Cup.

I've just seen the headlines in the UK on Sky Sports stating that Benfica are interested in Borgetti. If Borgetti does go (and I cant see it) that would certainly help Ricardo progress.

Oh by the way, Geeko79, Bolton Wanderers are not minnows. Still in the Uefa Cup and currently in 7th place in the EPL. This club has had some world class players turning out for them over the last few years. Here are a few:
Hierro, Djorkaeff, Fadiga, Bobic, Okacha, Stelios, Speed, Nakata, oh and Emerson Thome for all you Benfica supporters. All of these players played international football (excluding Emerson)and not just a couple of times either. Get your facts right.

 

i still have hope but really scolari isnt scouting england especially vaz te not that i know of.

personally i think right now the under 21 is where he should be but if he scores more goals then he will get peoples attention.

ricardo is a special talent that ive supported to see him succeed but i think getting experience and playing will make him a better player and borghetti is in the way thats why he is being shopped.

 

Borgetti has played in less games than Ricardo.

 

My mistake, Ricardo has been involved in 11 games this season, and Borgetti 15.

 

before when ricardo was on the bench and borghetti was playing.

i dont think they knew ricardo was going to make an impact for the team.

 

Nice try, so now you're trying to insult my intelligence. Have you ever thought about a career in politics?

That's not what you said in your first post.

 

Maybe you are right, but surely the club will have noticed his reserve team performances and how well he did in the Toulon Tournament with the Portuguese Under 20's. People have to remeber that whatever level he has played at he has made an impact and has made the step up in class easlily.

Bolton have seen Ricardo improve over the 2 1/2 years that he has been at the club. He was included in the first team squad a few days after his 17th birthday. He is beginning to make it difficult for the manager not to include him. I have a bet on him to score more than 15 goals this season.

 

so let me see he is 19,6'2 and has comparisons to thierry henry.

i wonder why sam wants him and to me he probably will sign him to a longterm deal.

any info on his contract?

 

People keep in mind what they saw by these recent clips of RVT.
They were spectacular, we have a great future here, but keep in mind is that it was against a 2nd divison team.
We all pray that he continues playing the same or better, but once he becomes a starter, and perform. Only then can we really excpect to see him on the A team.
IMO it's a shame the WC didn't come about in 1/2 years time, then he would definitely be in the NT.

 

Still 3 1/2 years to run.

Dont forget the impact that he has made is not just against Championship opposition. He did it against Arsenal, Everton, Aston Villa and Leicester.
