BRAVO!

Thank you Soares Franco. You are doing the job I wanted to see you do this term.

Sporting look good. Now Z-man has a reason to be excited.

jec1, atm im happy with Sporting

hopefully noone leaves.

they did what i wanted, got another keeper... i wanted a reliable one they got another younger keeper but hopefully him and patricio can handle the goalkeeping.

hopefully noone major leaves the club this summer, otherwise I will lose my excitement.

I dont rememebr the last time I was this excited about the upcoming season for SCP.. they seem to be building a solid squad!

Forca Sporting!! Vamos ser os campeoes!!

however, it will take alot to dethrone Porto so im not claiming anything just yet.

Baptista was born in Setubal....

"It was a big surprise, I was not expecting. Sporting are the club I support since I was little. My representative took care of everything but I did not think twice. This is the happiest day of my career," he said during his official presentation.

"My goal is to work to guarantee the coach quality in the team. It is normal that I think about being a starter, anyone wants to be it. I know Patrício from the Portugal squad he is an excellent person and an excellent goalkeeper, but I will work for the spot. Here no one has an advantage, we are a team and we have to support whoever the coach picks," he noted.
