Benfica Thread

Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

rodriguez is gone
he's an excellent player but he wanted money that we couldn't give and now he'll probably head for porto. but i think rui costa made a good decision, rodriguez didn't show any intention of staying unless unless we paid him money that he probably doesn't deserve
i'm not a hipocrit so i won't wish him any luck if he goes to porto but if i were a porto supporter i'd be very happy with this signing

So right! :)

But there is no confirmation yet, so I'll wait and see.
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

Rodriguez is a good sign for Porto, but that would mean that Quaresma is leaving...
Looks like Rui Costa is starting to fail...:))
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

Nah. It would mean Lucho leaving, not Quaresma, although I'm having a feeling it will be both leaving. :((
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

Obviously Rodriguez or his agent had struck a deal with Porto a long time ago, maybe he was only waiting for the Champions League matter to be resolved.

Then, the way to go to Porto is to ask an insane amount of money from Benfica, Benfica refuses and there you go, he pretends that's the reason why he's going to Porto.

According to Benfica sources he made a lot of last minute demands, obviously knowing Benfica would say no.

Not long ago this mercenary said "In Portugal I'll only play for Benfica"...

Good ridance...
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

Football is filled with mercenaries.

I learned that a long time ago. All I want is that as long is they are at the club they give their best.

Love for the shirt is, unfortunaly, a thing of the past. :|

Jorge Costa, Rui Costa, Baia... oh well, it's a handfull maybe.
If someones comes around and gives twice for Lucho, he will leave, but at least he always gave is best when wearing the shirt.

What a fucking prick. :))

I can see this season being just as shitty as last year's to be honest.
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

What a loser, never liked him that much. Stupid south americans only play for the glory and the money never for the shirt or for the sport, if he wants to leave then just go away, hope you have Derleis fate you worthless mercenary.
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

What a fucking mercenarie.
I know he is a professional but he said: "In Portugal only Benfica".

The honor word doesn't count?

Is Derlei's fate so that bad?:?

Well lets say, been in porto (his best years), been to benfica (worst then 0), been to sporting (even worst, injured almost full season, then just comes to the matches to get cards and try to wrestle with the refs), you think that is a good career?
Well, excuse me..

:LOL:

At least after his recovery, he was still in time of winning a Cup, and of course, scoring against Benfica, do you remember that? ;))
Did he won anything at Benfica?

I guess not...
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

Yeah, its going to be an important week for us. Rui Costa is going to have to finish the deal with Aimar, continue the negotiations with Real for Codina and Trying to get us miccoli back home.

Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

i'm happy that we signed a portuguese player with great potential. on the other hand i'm suspicious about his attitude, hope that he has changed or that he'll change during his stay at benfica but i think he'll good addition to our squad.
hope time doesn't proove me wrong
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

Seems like Miccoli might be going back to Lisbon!

No, he won't, unfortunately. Palermo's president basically gave Benfica the finger. :((

God, I miss that little guy so much! He was one of the best FW we've had in recent years; so dedicated, so intense. The fans just loved him! His name echoed throughout the entire stadium ("Mi-Mi-Miccoli! Mi-Mi-Miccoli!Mi-Mi-Miccoli!" :applaud:).

Oh well... it's a shame.
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

Italian media says that Rui Costa managed to get Aimar to say 'yes' to Benfica. All he needs to do is sign the contract!

Wooohooo if this is true!

Yup, that's pretty much a confirmed transfer... Well, almost. :LOL:

I'm curious to see what Aimar can actually bring. He's not the same he was 3 or 4 years ago.
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

DAMN!!! I could never imagine that Quiques uncle was Di Stefano, that was Totally unexpected! Flores just got 100 points just for having an Historical player in his family! xD

Di Stefano is not really his uncle, just his baptism's godfather.

Nevertheless, that'd be a HUGE honor for anyone! Hope he does well.
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

Maybe Rui can see himself in Aimar, so possibly play the role Rui Costa had in his career!
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

this aimar story seems neverending
zaragoza are trying to make as much money as they can and noone can blame them for that
benfica doesn't have more money so i don't know if we'll be buy him
what i know is that the press knows nothing about and unless i see the officila confirmation of the transfer i won't believe in it
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

What!?
No really thrilled about that.

I like our midfield. Would only like that to happen if Lucho where to leave. :(
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

It seems pretty obvious to me that Aimar will not sign for Benfica.

It's been far too long, and these deals don't usually take this amount of time to be made.

And if he actually goes to Porto... Well, I just stopped caring.

Zaragoza are simply trying to 'milk the cow', and, honestly, I don't think Aimar is worth the 8 million euros.

Why bother and spend so much money on a player that has made just a couple of good games last season? Benfica should focus on other more important things and aim at other players (is Aimar the only good OMF in the world?!). What about right back defenders? What about a good FW?

Benfica is wasting precious time...
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - The thread of "Encarnados"

You're right mate. Benfica is wasting precious time with Aimar. Wake up Rui Costa! Aimar will never be a Benfica player! Instead of wasting your time with that guy you should go to Brazil and catch the Fluminense young talents Thiago Silva and Thiago Neves, and I think they are cheaper than Aimar.
I remember Simão deal: 20M€ + 2 players. Where they are? Rui Costa should go there and bring Seitaridis and Luis Garcia.
 
Re: SL Benfica thread - JUAN PABLO AIMAR OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED!

Juan Pablo AIMAR will sign it's official contract tomorrow, confirmed by Real Zaragoza. :D

Next Stop: FABRIZIO MICCOLI! IL PICCOLO BOMBER!
