Manchester United wants Miguel
Manchester United been following Miguel, for the last couple seasons, portuguese international, with experience at RD, CD and Right Wing

Manchester interessado em Miguel


ASF
Miguel emerge, cada vez mais, como um dos jogadores com mais mercado no Benfica. Ao interesse do Inter de Milão, Borussia de Dortmund e Paris Saint Germain, junta-se o Manchester United, que até já conhece o montante que o clube pretende pelo jogador.


O Manchester United está interessado no lateral-direito do Benfica, Miguel. O interesse do colosso inglês nasceu na ponta final da SuperLiga transacta, numa fase em que o antigo avançado se encontrava ainda em fase de adaptação à sua nova posição, mas o jogador continua até agora nas cogitações de sir Alex Fergusson.

Os ingleses chegaram mesmo a enviar um emissário a Nyon, localidade Suiça onde os «encarnados» cumpriram a segunda fase do estágio da pré-época, para assistir ao jogo com o Sporting, organizado pela empresa GamaSport. A impressão não podia ter sido melhor.

Nessa altura foram mesmo estabelecidos os primeiros contactos formais entre os dois clubes, a ponto de o clube da Luz ter enviado um faxe para Old Trafford, dando conta das condições pretendidas para uma eventual transferência de Miguel para o futebol inglês.

O montante pedido pelo Benfica poderá ter travado o avanço imediato para a contratação, mas a verdade é que o Manchester não se dá por vencido, como se viu, recentemente, nos jogos como F. C. Porto e Roserborg, na Luz, em que o Manchester voltou a enviar emissários a Lisboa, para seguir atentamente a prestação do internacional português.

Frank how good Miguel, who does he compare to?

Rosenborg striker Azar Karadas has been heavily linked with a move to Benfica. Rosenborg are willing to negotiate for the player, with a price tag of about 2 million Euros rumored to be on his head.



The tall Norwegian striker has been heavily linked with a move to Benfica in recent days, and Rosenborg officials have confirmed that they have "talked" to SLB regarding Karadas, however they insist nothing is official. Even though Rosenborg declined an offer of 1 million Euros from Serie A side Siena, RBK has expressed their willingness to offload the impressive youngster, for a fee rumored to be around 2 million Euros.



Karadas did speak about a transfer to Benfica, and was ecstatic with the possibility. "Benfica plays high quality football, very technical and I love the way they play. They have a great team, with many world class players. The Portuguese league is very good, with teams such as Benfica, Sporting and Porto, which are top European clubs. The league is much more competitive and technical than the Norwegian league, and I would like to experiment in Portugal. If they are interested in me, I am also very interested and am available to discuss a transfer." Karadas told Portuguese sports paper Record. The player also confessed that he had another reason to want to play for Benfica. "I spent 3 years in Lisbon, and have went back with my family for vacation. I adore the city. When I came back to face Benfica, I was amazed with the Estadio da Luz."



This transfer looks as it may very well happen, considering that Benfica are in need of another striker after the tragic death of Miki Fehér. Karadas fits what Benfica need perfectly; a good technical tall player that is extremely dangerous in the air, and that has tons of potential. He has impressed so far this season, scoring a hat-trick against Dynamo Kiev, and of course scoring on our very own Moreira.

miguel is fast that about it. he's not that great a defender. his skill is average for the portuguese league and he gets happy feet when the play is run at him. but he fast and exposive on the counter attack.

Os mais novos marcadores

É o segundo jogador mais novo de sempre a marcar pelo Benfica. Grande honra e notável façanha para Manuel Fernandes, autor do segundo e decisivo golo dos «encarnados», ontem, em Barcelos.


Data de nascimento: 5-2-1986. Dezoito aninhos e 31 dias. Sê bem-vindo ao mundo dos grandes, miúdo! E não é que entraste com o pé esquerdo? O prodigioso Fernando Chalana, hoje treinador do Oriental, é o jogador mais novo de sempre a marcar pelo Benfica. Com 17 anos e 226 dias, tão novinho e no entanto já tão genial, o esquerdino saltou para o patamar de excepção dos «encarnados» e levou a palma a António Simões, que também aos 18 anos começou a aparecer imensamente e fez o seu primeiro golo dentro da idade maior... e mais 59 dias.

António Simões esquerdino, Chalana esquerdino, percebe-se o encantamento momentâneo provocado por Manuel Fernandes, em Barcelos, ao apontar o primeiro golo da sua carreira no campeonato com o pé esquerdo. Que dia de sonho, colado a Chalana e Simões!

Foi a 15.ª vitória do Benfica na SuperLiga, o 48.º golo dos «encarnados» na competição, a quarta citação de Simão como melhor em campo, o terceiro golo de Geovanni no campeonato. E, no entanto, o dia foi todo de Manuel Fernandes.Tem nome de jogador! Com 18 anos e 31 dias, seja muito bem-vindo ao mundo dos grandes!

[Lemmy]

The biggest problem with Benfica is that theyspent too much money on mediocre players.

[tyrus]
