Official: Inter Milan sign Ricardo Quaresma

[Jager]

This has broken off, I don't think we'll sign him. If you can sell him for more, go on ahead. That is Inter's response to the whole thing. Branca our transfer director has basically said no more signings this season, as we have apparently concluded our signing of Sulley Muntari.

As for the future, I have this strange feeling that RQ will move eventually. If not this summer, by next summer. And Porto will not get what they want for him, as I see his numbers falling in terms of goals, assists and playing well.

Why? I think he was going to make three times with us, now he is stuck with Porto, and I feel this is going to impact him financially and negatively.

I hope this isn't the case, but these things can go either way. You can stick to your demands, and hope that someone will bite eventually or you can get the cash now. Always a gamble, it can go your way or not.

That is all hopiing that his peformance doesn't drop as I said above.

Ah well.....

Ah well.....

Quaresma is worth more than 25 million but I understand Inter's concern because their is a great possibilty that he might flop in Italy. Quaresma is to high risk to cost 40 million euros ...

I keeping on hearing this 40 million..you are worth what people are wheeling to pay for you.

If there were other bids, you would of heard of it by now.

This is how this will play out. Next year he will sell close to what Inter are offering this year, and Porto will sell. Because there are really only two clubs other than Inter, who will pay that elusive price, and frankly I don't think either want to bite.

Quaresma will do better just staying in Portugal. He's beloved by all the fans but won't get the same reaction in other countries..

FIGO
"Tragam o Quaresma"
FERNANDO ROLA

"A sua chegada restituiu-me a motivação". Figo está absolutamente rendido aos métodos de trabalho d e José Mourinho, não poupando nos elogios ao novo técnico do Inter, inclusive por comparação com o antecessor. "O anterior treinador [não pronunciou o nome] não me motivava desta maneira. Esta alteração do técnico deu, a mim e a outros jogadores que eram menos utilizados, um novo alento. Agrada-me a forma como Mourinho trabalha", confessou Figo, no estágio, em Riscone di Brunico.

Numa entrevista ao "Corriere dello Sport", o extremo português falou com entusiasmo da possibilidade do portista Quaresma mudar-se para o Inter. "É umjogador com muita técnica e velocidade, é muito bom no um contra um. E tem ainda margem de progressão. Na sua posição, a jogar em Portugal, é o melhor. Tragam-no que o Inter fará uma grande aquisição", comentou Figo.

Voltando à sua posição no plantel do Inter, o português mantém a ambição com que sempre jogou e que lhe permitiu grande triunfos, por exemplo, no Barcelona e no Real Madrid. E entrega-se ao trabalho como se estivesse a começar agora. "Estes métodos revolucionários agradam-me e divirto-me a trabalhar", diz o nº 7 do Inter, que aponta objectivos bem altos para a época que vai começar. "Antes de acabar a minha carreira , gostaria de vencer de novo a Liga dos Campeões. Para mim, é um grande estímulo provar que poderei vencer de novo. E o Inter, depois de ter voltado a dominar em Itália, merece conquistar a Europa. Temos obrigação de fazer tudo para ter êxito nesta competição", considerou.

Finalmente, Figo falou do grande rival Milan, por lá ter chegado Ronaldinho. "Representa qualidade, fantasia e espectáculo. Preferia tê-lo do meu lado. Se estiver bem, é o melhor".^


FIGO IS ASKING FOR QUARESMA.......

I disagree. 25 million is about right for him. He has failed in the past to perform well in one of Europe's top leagues. He wasn't even a starter for Portgual in Euro...

But he's an average player. inter should forget about him and put everything into getting Quaresma.

Lampard is average ...well I'm not at all surprised seeing as this is coming from a Gerrard fan.

Lampard is a completely different player to Quaresma, so they cannot be compared.

Anyway it looks like neither are coming to Inter this season....at least Mancini provides another wing choice...I thought after all the statements by Jose that Quaresma would be 100% at Inter next season. However with Muntari nearly coming on his way to Italy it seems Inter won't have enough or won't spend anymore on other players.

Did you know Gerrard took almost twice as many shots in the EPL as Lampard last season? Did you also know that Gerrard only scored 1 more goal than Lampard despite starting 8 more games? And you know what? That was Gerrard's best season so far! Lampard has consistently been one of the Premiership's top performers for the past 4 seasons, even better than your hero Gerrard. So take your pick, either Lampard is an average player, or Gerrard is vastly overrated. There is no other option.

Pretty tired of hearing that over and over, people just have nothing else to say really..

Do you have any idea what happened at Barça? They had just sold Figo and signed Quaresma, who they were hoping would be an instant hit. That is a stupid way of thinking, how can a 19 year old who had just played a couple of seasons in Portugal, be an instant hit, in a foreign club, who were expecting someone to replace the best winger in the world at that moment??

Quaresma had a fall-out with Rijkaard, that is why he was sold. Someone got sent off in a match, so Rijkaard forced Quaresma to play at LB, instead of wasting his last sub, Quaresma said no and broke his foot in the same match. Since that day, he was never called-up again.

As for him not starting in the Euro.. how does that prove anything at all? Scolari always had something against Quaresma, in his time at Portuguese coach, Scolari played Quaresma in about 10-15 matches at most, and about 80% of those were as a sub. He preferred to call-up Luis fucking Boa Morte to the WC, instead of Quaresma!

And before you mention the match vs Swizterland, let me just say this:
You can't judge a player based on one match, that is absolutely moronic, which is something that I don't consider you to be. May I add that, the match vs Swiss was pointless, nothing was at stake, so obviously a player is nowhere near as motivated as if he was playing in a decisive match. See the match vs Italy, by far our most important match prior to the Euro, he started and was by far our best player.

[LaVecchiaSignora]

I think thats a bit much...i think hes a great player, but i dont know if hes worth that much to inter....Idk where they come up with all this money...it must be nice...we have to empty our pockets to throw up a 16m dollar bit for mutu...and inter can shell out 12m on mancini more on others and now 25 on quaresma....

[Oliver_Kahn]

25m isnt too much, its too little. Over 30m or we won't even consider it.

Give Quaresma a nice raise and he will be happy...Quaresma can play his game and nobody will complain which is something he can't do abroad.

[z187]

Damn I was hoping Q would go to Inter.. alongside Figo and Mourinho he has the support to take his game to the next level.
