ex Benfica players/coach's thread

[Daniel24]

I'm actually surprised to not see any other team's interested in him.He could easily be a player that could be worth tens of millions.If Benfica uses him wisely this season then next season we could be getting offers from Chelsea,Lyon or even Barca.

That is true.In time Maybe Manchester United will offer for him.

[Daniel24]

Yeah Simao as you said Fonte is a good CB and if Anderson leaves we should bring him in as a current-replacement.

[Marcelo]

Fonte could actually take Andersons spot.

Miccoli tem «princípio de acordo» com o Benfica
O empresário do avançado italiano afirmou que, apesar de o jogador querer permanecer em Itália por motivos pessoais, «existem negociações visando o regresso do Miccoli ao Benfica e penso que até podemos falar num princípio de acordo. Empréstimo ou venda são duas possibilidades que continuam a ser estudadas». Francesco Caliandro, declarou que o Benfica «é um clube que lhe ficou no coração», pelo que o seu regresso a Portugal nomeadamente ao clube encarnado é a possibilidade «mais forte».

O interesse do FC Porto não foi confirmado pelo empresário do jogador, mas a possibilidade de ingresso nos campeões nacionais parece agora muito remota.

Hopefully he can follow in the footsteps of Nani and Anderson.

[Marcelo]

Maybe you never know.

Anything is still possible BenficaUnited.Edgar was official until Porto stole him from under our hands.

[Marcelo]

I don't think that will happen again.

cardoza is much more experienced in playing big games and has proven to find the net... same goes for Bergessio who's also a good playmaker.

I agree with United, what exactly has Edgar proved?

lol, I just find it to be very odd, because Benfica have a 150 million depth and are spending 11m € without having received Berardo's cash..

Pffft, Baia was shit on that match, but he is a legend anyway.

[Evertonscouser]

I can't see Utd or Chelsea going for him in the near future, he just wouldn't be first choice and at his age he needs to be to develop. Only one of the 'big 4' teams in England I could se going for him is Arsenal. Wouldn't be surprised if I saw Spurs to make a big effort for him. Still grapsing onto hope he stays at Everton though.

[simaozinho200]

yes he was kahn he let that ball go right under him when any good goal kepper would catch that shot

[simaozinho200]

i think manchester really doesn't need him because look they have hargreves who is decent and anderson and carrick why would they need another midfield
