Nope seen him play plenty of times for porto, never saw him at Barca though. Seems like a very talented but highly erratic player. Nani is younger and shows more promise imo, just a ridiculous amount of money to pay.

No one is getting to grips with the current market fees it seems, Bentley will no doubt go for 20 odd million so surely it isn't an odd fee nowdays paying 27million for Quaresma?

I dont hate him but I agree with the low price sentiment
 
Hate how managers say they want to be at the club longer than their contract, i.e. Redknapp: anything could happen in those 3 years that could make him want to leave, stupid comment which could proberbly be a stain on his shoe if he leaves before the contract.

I can understand Kaka if Lampard goes but Ribery!!


I dont think he is a good player at all, people say he was meant to be the new Zidane for France at this years Euro and I thought he was naff.

lol this Ronaldo saga is pathetic now

First he'll earn 300k a week, then he'll be on 150k, then he'll supposedly have to take a paycut, now he'll earn 20m a year

At this rate, all he'll end up earning is a couple of broken legs from people sick of his antics
