Islam Slimani

[ealingfox]

Bet half the people telling us how much better Slimani is than Ulloa have never seen Slimani play apart from maybe a couple of World Cup games 2 years ago.

Not sure if relevant, but G-LCFC was in Paris last week, landing in Boulogne-Billancourt a french suburb. Maybe Bologne, Italy, is actually Boulogne-Billancourt, Paris.

Any leads on Preki's whereabouts?

Yep. And it won't come off. He's going to have a fox painted on his face for the rest of his life like the fella from Phoenix Nights.

 

Maybe now every time he looks in the mirror he'll be reminded of what he did.

That would be impossible because all good Sporting CP players have an annual wage that's 30-50% of the season budget of smaller teams and thats not including a transfer fee.

Only benfica and Porto can pay the wage of a good Sporting CP player. And benfica and Porto are going to the ucl.

 

But if one good SCP player moves to Porto it's very very bad.

It happened some years ago when J. Moutinho moved from SCP to Porto for a 11M fee. Moutinho was called 'maça podre' aka rotten apple.

 

If it was to benfica at this moment it was even worse, because they are the biggest rivals - from Lisbon too - and we are in a war because we steal from them our manager Jorge Jesus one year ago and in return they took Carrilo from us - this player was ending is contract and he didn't sign a new contract because benfica was behind and made a very big offer for him.

On a sidenote, how would you rate the Primeira Liga and its teams? Is it really that boring with just three, maybe four major teams competing against each other for the title each season (Sporting, Benfica, Porto and maybe Braga)?

 

Also, what's your take on Belenenses?

 

Loved my trips to Lisbon, got yourself a really beautiful city there.

Sporting didn't even win the league, and they are both in Europe, try Boavista for an equivalent.

I don't know enough about mid-table and relegation clubs in the EPL to adequately do this, but what I do know is that Leicester is definitely NOT like boavista. They went deep into dept to win that title, and wouldn't have managed it if they president wasn't also the president of our League. There were a lot of dubious games in that season (and many more before and since) that went badly for the other contenders, and good for them.

In fact, I'd say that what happened last season is nigh on impossible anywhere else. Spain, Italy, Germany, France, etc, I cannot see anything like that happening.

Doyen was behind it, and Casaretto was also delighted in screwing Bruno de Carvalho. Remember it was pinto da costa that broke the news he was going to benfica, so casaretto, for all his talk, just wanted to screw us as badly as possible.

That's nothing. Our manager, his manager, calls him Sulimane.

Sporting produced 2 of Portugal's greatest ever players. No other player who has come through Benfica and Porto can compare to Figo and Ronaldo. Although I still loved Rui Costa personally.

There is only a late afternoon direct flight to Rome from Algiers so you have a point there babs.

 

however, I'm not convinced by the back room  Italians argument - it's a medical which is down to our medical team.(and our insurance co).

 

if it was down to me to book a medical in Europe then I would also have booked Italy without checking there was a morning direct service from Algiers. Amazing that there isn't.

 

 

I'm sure they did look. If they wanted it doing in Italy... they just chose the best route to get there. Andrea Azzalin is on the Sports science staff and we could have sent our Rennie or anyone else we needed.

In this case Leicester are Sporting, best team in the league great fans and play great football.

 

Chelsea are Boavista, scummy club that finished midtable last season, corrupt and morally bankrupt, would you still  love Slimani if he left Sporting for Boavista?

The only other clubs here that could afford him would be porto and benfica, but no, not likely.

Don't think he came through the ranks at Benfica though, he joined them when he was 18.

Didn't a helpful Portuguese fan just say they own 80% of each?

 

Only way it could help is saving face of not selling Silva for less than 45m

I read about 50 pages of the Silva thread on their forum yesterday and it seemed they came to the conclusion that it was 100% of Silva they owned, after reclaiming the remaining portion recenlty
