Good Craig got his c'nuppins
We'll struggle to move him on to be honest. I reckon he's better off returning to Brazil.
Would a Brazilian team take him for a small fee?We'll struggle to move him on to be honest. I reckon he's better off returning to Brazil.
I reckon they would, there appears to be more money in the Brazilian game nowadays too.Would a Brazilian team take him for a small fee?
That's the problem with giving players new deals to "maintain" their value. Nobody will offer him even close to that, we can't force him to go away so either pay him off most of his contract or supplement his wages to leave on loan. Disaster. Hope Nani doesn't end up a similar case.Has there ever been a confirmation of his wages? 75k? 90?
I have to agree.He's made an absolute fortune out of literally being a tag along at United for the past eight years and now he'll feck off to sunny Brazil and live the rest of his life in luxury with little to no expectation on his shoulders. Just the way he'd want it I'd imagine.
Why SAF gave him so many chances, I simply don't know. Waste of space of a footballer.
How long does his contract run for? he might be able to squeeze out a 10 year testimonial game from us.Might fit into LVG's system. Never know. Could be like a new signing. He's only been here 7 years so we should give him a chance.
Would you even want him?I suppose that loaning him to us and paying his wages is out of question is it?
Careful what you wish for.I suppose that loaning him to us and paying his wages is out of question is it?
On United´s form, no. On Porto form absolutely (with dreads and without the beer belly)Would you even want him?
Careful what you wish for.
You really wouldn't want that. Seriously. He'd cost more than the wages in added canteen staff alone.
Oh, your greed knows no bound . But what about you loaning him and paying at least half his wages. I am sure we would be happy with thatI suppose that loaning him to us and paying his wages is out of question is it?
We could include him in the Carvalho deal, i suppose.I suppose that loaning him to us and paying his wages is out of question is it?

Next year mate, next year.We could include him in the Carvalho deal, i suppose.
Are you saying this in hindsight or were you really unhappy at that time. I thought that you guys got a great deal at that time(2003) where 12 million was a really significant amount for a teenager. I mean weren't Arsenal offering 5 million or something? In hindsight, 12 million is absolute peanuts for him but I don't think even Porto were selling their youth prospects for that much during that era or were they? I remember Quaresma going for 5 or 6 million to barca when he was thought of to be the more talented player than Ronaldo. Right now a 18 year Ronaldo would easily command 25-30 million pounds tbh. Does Sporting regularly include sell-on clauses in their deals though?
Although i have a soft spot for United, i´ve always resented the fact that you got Ronaldo for peanuts. Peanuts if you compare to other business Porto has done and even our Nani deal. But this Rojo deal has left me extremely pleased, so were good now.
No. I was unhappy. Unhappy for two reasons. First of all (the one that matters me the most) everyone could see that Ronaldo was a very talented player that would definitely help us achieve our campaign objectives. It was a bad deal period. If he was to play for us in Champions League, i have no doubt that we would sell for the double. That´s what i want us to do with Carvalho. I won´t have any problem if he leaves us next year. Porto was already doing big business at the time. And that´s because they have a very competent board in what concerns transfer deals. Our boards were the opposite. Until Bruno de Carvalho got appointed, i can´t remember a good deal besides Nani (which was a good deal by Soares Franco).Are you saying this in hindsight or were you really unhappy at that time.

Just tells you how sucking up is actually working in any job.he's such a lovable useless player
