another argentina player Mariano Gonzalez to Porto

:.: Jornal Record :.:

could he be the replacement for Quaresma

I don't really know much about him, but he seemed decent when Bayern played Inter..

Hopefully he can be good, as I'm almost sure Quaresma is off..

I hope the Porto PDC puts some money away for a rainny day

no reason for Porto to be on the red

I was wondering this:

We got 100m € 4 seasons ago, around 30m € on the last 2 seasons and we got around 50m € this season. How the hell did our dept got worse ?

Pinto da Costa is a fantastic president, as in he can build up great teams by picking up unkown quality players, but he can't really manage huge amounts of cash, he either spend on shit players (Fabiano for example) and put at least 25% to his pocket.

When we get a new president, he won't be as good in building up teams, but he will for sure balance our finances.

He is fast, has a decent shot.

Natural winger, but can play as a striker. He really wasn't given a chance with Inter, but I think Portugal is the right place for him. He will get his game back.

Marino Gonzalez can be practically listed down as a Porto player after the President of Palermo, Maurizio Zamparini, confirmed that the midfielder will join the Portuguese side.

"We're closing the deal with Porto for the loan of Mariano Gonzalez. We will receive one million Euros with the option for Porto to buy him at the end of the season."

According to the reports coming from Portugal, Gonzalez will have to be paid 2 million Euros if Porto would then intend to hold on to him following the next season.

Gonzalez played last season on loan at Inter, but rarely featured in the first team as Roberto Mancini did not find much space for him with the first eleven, except for some games in the Coppa Italia.

Another problem, I think, is that some of the money goes to other sports that Porto are involved in like swimming or roller hockey.
