The SL Benfica Thread [2005-2006]

if simão stays:

----manu----petit-----
--kara-----------------
----------rui-----simao
-----------------------
---------miccoli--------


if he leaves:

----------petit---------
karagounis---------manu
----------rui------------
----miccoli-----gomes---

Luis, i believe Manu is Manuel Fernandes, it wouldn't make sense to put Manu as a center midfielder

And i agree with you Virgo, that option could work very well, as we have two offensive full backs.

 

[smoove]

Smoove... you're excluding M. Fernandes from the line-up? Why? The kid is one of Benfica's best players...

not a chance...

 

[Tiago_10]

Seems like Simão isn't going to Chelsea. Mourinho said Chelsea's wings are well taken care of with the likes of Robben, Joe Cole, Duff and Phillips.

So, unless someone comes up with a 20 M € offer, it's likely that we keep him. It also kinda depends on how the WC goes, though.

 

[NightCrawler]

We really could use some money... But if a player like Simão is staying, it's great. Anyway we need another winger, Marco Ferreira and Manduca suck, I hope we get someone like [size=-1]Wilhelmson. [/size]

 

[Tiago_10]

Wilhelmson would be great. I heard we're still linked with D'Alessandro as well.

 

[RuiCosta_10]

Never saw anything special on D'Alessandro tbh, never saw his River games though... But in Europe, and for Argentina, just some nice tricks, nothing more.

As for Whilelmson, that one would be f*cking great, and Simão and Whilelmson on the wings would be the HELL for the opponents. Very unlikely to happen though...

 

[Paulo Da Silva]

so Benfica can pay 3.5 million for Marcel, but cannot make an extra "esforco" and buy a useful player in Micolli

 

[Virgo]

it's also his wages and the crisis in Juventus that is delaying the process but yeah I still think it's retarded to keep Marcel. For the attacking "cepo" that doesn't score goals spot we already have Karadas so...

This is Benfica anyways, we buy like 1 good player in each 10 and we already depleted the stock with Rui Costa.

 

[3m1n3m]

The funny thing is that Marcel cost around 2 million euros (not 100% payed by Benfica, there's an investment group involved in this, like the Luisão deal). But I guess no one cares about that, the 3.5 million suits better so everyone can bash Vieira and Veiga.

And yes, the Académica chairman lied on the AG when he said that. He knows that as well as I do. Benfica didn't pay the release clause. When the Briosa accounts get investigated after he leaves, you'll see I was right and you were wrong. There are many lobbies with construction companies inside Académica. Those same lobbies brought Marcel from Korea in the first place...

But that isn't important, what's important is believing a lie. Afterall, when you say a lie a lot of times, it ends up becoming a truth. And that's how our country is sinking in the mud

 

[Tiago_10]

Well, Benfica can't negotiate Miccoli right now. It was supposed to be with Moggi, but he's gone. Even Micolli's agent says this isn't the right moment to negotiate with Juve, because of the scandal.

 

[RuiCosta_10]

Marcel will still prove he's a good player, and yeah, we may had loose Miccoli, and i prefer him over Marcel, no doubt, but he's probably way expensive, and like Eminem said, we didn't payed 3,5M € for Marcel.

Anyway, Virgo, despite the January transfers that were all crap, we actually managed to get very good players, Léo, Karagounis, Miccoli(loan), Anderson, Karyaka(good player to me) and Nelson... It wasn't that bad.

 

[NightCrawler]

According to Record, Brann wants Karadas and they are willing to pay 1.5M €. Hurray, I was affraid we had to pay to get rid of him, Thank You Brann.

**** don't be a dick. I read the 3.5 million euro deal in three papers and watched it in the news while i was in Portugal last week. Nothing came up about the investment group and all said that Benfica paid 3.5 million straight up.

Sorry i never knew you had inside info on the Benfica signings that nobody else had.

Who do you think you are to insult people that way?

 

[NightCrawler]

Well... He lives in heaven.... He must be somehow special..

 

[Paulo Da Silva]

he was the one who was talking down to me like some smart ass. i just stated what i read and seen on TV and he proceeded to correct me with a smart ass reply and no link to prove what he said.

damn straight!!!lol

Ok, that's a valid reason to insult people.

Thank you.

you may be right but you don't have ANY proof of that, and EVERY media source + the Academica president says it was 3,5M€.

If it's not true LFV should have denied it by now. He'll still have more chances to do so, but the fact is that every Benfica fan is pissed with buying Marcel and letting Miccoli go atm.

Therefore the righteousness tone detected in your post is not in any way justifiable, unless of course you have proof.
