Simao Done Deal �15m?

[Guest Super Jari]

Maybe a dodgy source but found this. A spanish link:

And the Dodgy translation is.............

 

Flavorful Simao will play the next season in the Liverpool or, at least, therefore it confirms the Sport newspaper that aims that an authorized source of the English club would have revealed that the draftee of Simao by the Liverpool already is done. Reds will pay 15 million euros to the Benfica to take to Simao until Anfield Road and Benítez will see fulfilled the request that took doing a long time ago. The forward luso, on the other hand, will put aim, this way, to his stage in a Benfica in which he has shone with own light during these last six seasons.

( if true ) oh dear

I was rather hoping we would be in for "better " wingers than that

[Falconhoof]

decent value at that price, doubt its true though.

Would you prefer him if he scored a lot less goals but done some more stepovers?

[Gally]

Wouldn't be suprised by this.. he is a very Rafa style player.. should improve our set pieces for one thing..

[Gomez]

The return of the Simao stories make me think that Simao is the first choice out of himself and Alves. And now we have the money, Rafa will get his first choice.

 

From the little I've seen of them both, Alves looks the better player.

I saw Rick Parry at a Nandos the other day..

Leading goalscorer in the Portugese league. Not bad for a winger

f*** me you are moaning a lot lately

[Guest Snorky]

Simao I don't think this is true.

[Logic]

Leading goalscorer in the Porugese league. Not bad for a winger

81 goals in 213 games for Benfica as well (according to Wikipedia). Pretty good I'd say.

sabrosa to be nailed on.

Heres the original source by the look of it

From that dodgy translation aren't they saying that the sports newspaper that is an authorised source for LFC said it, ie the echo

 

So its all b'ollocks because the echo have said no such thing

boy are you trying to be inflamatory - I just wanted a winger that has balance, pace, skill and scores lots of goals - Simao when I've seen him has lacked most of these qualities

Have you actually ever seen him play?

 

There seems to be this thing that unless you do a billion stepovers everytime you get the ball then you cant be skillful. He's got balance, he can beat players, he's quick enough without being Cisse/Bellamy like and most importantly scores and sets up f***ing loads. I really dont see peoples problem.

 

Fair enough not everyone will rate him but some of the reasoning is laughable.

He doesn't lack those qualities.

 

I'd suggest watching him more might be the way to go.

I'm glad you're not a scout. Or maybe you are and are out of work DUE TO HAVING NO IDEA

[Romario]

If he can take a good corner he's pricless

[ManxRed]

I saw Rick Parry at a Nandos the other day..

 

Please let this be true.

He's just not been that impressive on the few occassions I've seen him, I'm more than happy to revise my opinion given more opportunities to watch him play

He's delighted that you are willing to give him such grace.

[fred milne]

Do people think his game is suited to English football? Admittedly I've not seen much of him but he looks physically very slight and maybe not blessed with blinding pace to compensate.

So, should that info be correct, how much less is that to what Benfica changed their mind and determined wasn't enough last time?
