Wednesday was the first game in which Benfica played this year in which Manuel Fernandes was trully miss..

Just so happens that he is not playing in EPL and wants out. What are the chances Benfica could get him back. Trade or loan back............

Eurodad you agree that Benfica result could have been different having Manuel Fernandes in place of Nuno Gomes in the later part of the 1st half.

EURODAD · 08-12-2006, 04:10 PM

I have no doubt at all.

**SOMOSBENFICA** · 08-12-2006, 04:11 PM

Manuel Fernandes should have stood still with Benfica.He could have learn alot from Simao, Postiga, and Queresama with their experience leaving Portugal at such a young age.

EURODAD · 08-12-2006, 04:13 PM

We could say the same for all the young players that leave though. Have you heard anything about MF maybe coming back on a loan back situation ???

**SOMOSBENFICA** · 08-12-2006, 04:31 PM

Isn't Manuel Fernandes on loan to Portsmouth..

EURODAD · 08-12-2006, 04:39 PM

Ya I think so but it was a kind of strange deal. We take him now and pay you later because of an injury that had not fully healed.

**Frank Cunha** · 08-12-2006, 04:44 PM

he basically made the medical dept look like crap, when he went out and see other doctors without the team permission
his not in good terms and vice versa, I don't see him comeback,

EURODAD · 08-12-2006, 04:44 PM

The thing is though, he is not happy there, so I wonder if he is coming back.......

**Frank Cunha** · 08-12-2006, 04:48 PM

Benfica his not happy with his attitude

if Rui Costa was able to play, he would be on that position, and Nuno Gomes would be back on his place

the move by making Nuno Gomes #10 work against Sporting, Maritimo , but that's not his position, if Rui Costa was playing he would be at his position upfront

Was that the same medical staff that handled R Costa injury ?

**Frank Cunha** · 08-12-2006, 06:03 PM

the same the handle Nelson, Quim both with the same kind of injury as Manuel Fernades

some doctor in Germany

**Oliver_Kahn** · 08-12-2006, 06:04 PM

And Quim

**Frank Cunha** · 08-12-2006, 06:10 PM

correct, he was ready in two weeks, and then crazy Koeman bench him without any reason, after signing Moretto

**Frank Cunha** · 08-12-2006, 09:15 PM

Belenenses playing very well of late

they got some decent players like Benfica killer
Costinha in goal, Ze Pedro, how can you forget the two goals against Moreira in the 4-0 game,
