The truth is that Sporting realized 2 years ago what FC porto realizes now, and what Benfica hasn't realized yet: B teams are very expensive and basically useless.

Are you also ahead of your time in investing the money you make from the youth? (Cristiano Ronaldo, Quaresma and Hugo Viana)

I think you're more ahead in selling your properties so you don't go bankrupt.

Be careful with what you say. This is not an attack, don't reply to me with "insulto barato". it's just a warning so you don't blindly support you club. Have a sense of self-criticism, to see when and where your club is doing shyte, so your club does better in the future. Have some self-respect and respect others. That's the way you get respect back.

... or you can just reply to me with that "insulto barato", continue to think you're doing the right thing and that you're best and the rest is pure utter shyte, and have a front-row seat to watch your club go down the drain.

Your call.

nicely done 3rd place...haha, kidding, i was thinking, this may give Anderson a lot more opportunities now, it's not like Adriaanse is going to put him in the Juniores...
i hope he can put some of the performances he did in brasil, the kid is a very good player

 

[3m1n3m]

Filipower: Don't even tell me about that 3rd place...

Anderson has everything to explode in the league next season. Including the right manager. Because Adriaanse can take the best out of his players when he wants to. So, don't worry about that Too bad my own Benfica let him slip through the fingers... Oh well...

 

[Filipower]

haha, benfica were busy trying to buy marco ferreira

well, i surely hope he can explode...with quaresma keeping his form(i still don't like him)..one in each side could mean the 'bi-campeonato'

speaking of quaresma (and now for the portu-enses), his little cousin, who's like 10 years old, was the cause of shooting between a couple of retards in PT(pinheiro torres)...apparentely he(quaresma's cousin) got involved in a fight with a guy from Aleixo, who proceeded to call his friends. not happy, the little boy - who, i repeat, is like 10 - then called his friends from Pasteleira...i guess no one in PT saw it coming, but as it's sort of in the middle of the two... just a bit of classy news sponsered by The Portuguese Liga Thread

Hey, that's a great post. Not just for whom you were talking to but for everybody out there on the SG forums.

Filipower: Quaresma's cousin is a bad, bad boy. I guess he won't be getting any golden rings from his parents next christmas.

Don't make me go there (about Marco Ferreira)...

Anderson isn't exactly a winger... that's the thing. He does his best behind the forward line, with some freedom, but not as a number 10. Kind of a João Pinto... without the diving :funny: j/k (that is, if he doesn't get the Portuguese League bad habits).

 

[Paulo Da Silva]

its great these B teams are getting cut. It costs money and its one more useless step in the prgression of young players. Without it there will be more chances for kids like Anderson, Helder Barbosa, Vieirinha, P.Machado, Nuno Coelho, Bruno Gama, Ivanildo, etc...

and where will they play if they don't get the B team? the A team? i don't think so, at least they won't play every week, as they are currently playing on the B team. And playing for the B team can teach them how big their club is and to defend the club colours.

 

[Punkt]

without the B team those players will be loaned for sure.

 

[Virgo]

without the B team those players will be loaned for sure.

and therefore the coach won't be able to call them to the A team if needed or if he wants to give them a chance.

 

[Filipower]

meh, i know anderson isn't exactly a winger..but adriaanse can teach him to be one...i'll have anderson in the wing over 100 diogos valentes

edit:make that 1000

 

[3m1n3m]

You bet. Diogo Valente is such an average player... and the press keeps over-rating him, as the savior of our left-wing problems. The more games we saw from him, the more we can say he doesn't have that "stuff". Just a over-hyped kid and full of himself with that "Morangos com Açucar" hair and stylish boots.

 

[Funky--K]

thank you Porto for taking that prima donna Diogo Valente from us. I was about to run into the pitch and kick his ass so he'd start running properly.

And about Anderson being compared to Joao Pinto... he IS a diver I saw live his match against Boavista and he did quite a couple of "Joao Pintos" when he was slightly touched...

 

[MaSsiVe]

Sporting won't keep Sá Pinto for next season, and apparently the player already knew that before deciding to go on with his career.

my question is, where the hell will he play then?
I already see Dinamo Moscow's president mouthwatering (yeah I might have just invented a new word there) with the perspective of picking him up

If I were him I would just let it go instead of ending up in some random team.

That hairstyle seems to be the flavour of the season. Last night on UP's Queima das Fitas everywhere I looked I kept seeing the same guy over and over and over.

This just in: Portuguese Cup Final to be played this sunday!
This is like a SG's world exclusive, because if you don't live in Porto or Setúbal you surely haven't heard about it yet.
The typical Lisbon media blackout once again. Even the cup finals between non '3 grandes' clubs got more attention.

 

[Virgo]

The whole Sa Pinto situation is really sad. It's mostly his fault this time although Sporting could show a bit more consideration for a player who is a symbol of the club, but hey we all saw what happened last year with P.Barbosa and Rui Jorge. I think he'd even play this last year for free.

just realized Soares Franco is tall as f*ck, sign him and you won't need to sign a random brazilian as always, he'd be a great target man

lisbon press? look at the cover of "O JOGO" today:

 

[INFESTA]

Isn't that the cover of the south edition?
Either way, they've been covering the cup final every day. Now as for the televisions...
