Possebon to Santos
Signed for Santos apparently. Can someone translate this?

Santos FC contrata o meio campista Rodrigo Possebon (ex-Manchester United-ING)
Santos official site with a picture of him holding up the shirt, seems pretty official. |

Not been the same since that nasty gash he took on his leg (from the little I've seen I might add) looked like a real prospect before then, oh well.
Good luck to the lad, hope he has a good career. |

Probably Joe Cole and United share the other 65% though. |

Persnoally I just believe he had a down turn in form coming back from that injury and never came out of it. A loan at Braga was unsucessful and I don't know the full story but he played 1 possibly 2 games after apparantly falling out with or going out of favour of their manager. He returned to us, played a bit for our reserves and has now signed for Santos. I think being back in his native country at a slower paced football will do him a world of good, he's got a classy style on the ball that is easy to appreciate and he always came over as a good lad so I wish him all the best. |

Nothing to do with the injury. I can't believe how everybody is overrating him. He has always been a very average midfielder, from the looks of his outings in the reserves and limited first team appearances. I never felt he would make it for us or any top teams in the league.

I won't say most people were overrating him.
Certainly if you caught glimpses of him in the reserve, you'd notice that he was playing above reserve level. His touches and techniques were good quality and he had a good passing range. But yeah, after that tackles he's been rushing things and stopped his runs and just didn't improve. Selling him will only benefit his career and both us and Santos. Ganso and Neymar still look great potentially. Wouldn't mind a sneaky bid for Ganso, Neymar is too expensive. |

He is a good passer and packs a decent shot and that is it. He's a bit like an slightly inferior version of Gibson. I'm not totally convinced of the both of them, due to their lack of pace and mobility, and their constant dwelling on the ball, only to lose it easily. A good midfielder has to have a high speed of thinking and awareness and this quality is not found in either of them.

A bit awkward to compare him to Gibson imo.
Different style, Gibson will never be as technical as Possebon imo. Possebon will never have enough power to shoot as hard as Gibson. |

Sold for a first option on one of Santos's players? That should get the transfer muppets' juices flowing

It can't be a free transfer though.. If it were a free transfer there would be no reports of Santos owning only 35%.. If he was free they could have owned him 100% unless I am getting my ownership of players idea wrong.. |
