Fez of Mahrez Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 When it says end of the year do you think it means end of this calendar year or end of the football year. I presume end of this calendar year but it could be construed differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Nibblington Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 When it says end of the year do you think it means end of this calendar year or end of the football year. I presume end of this calendar year but it could be construed differently. I assume calender year, else they would have said season long / end of season a la Fulop.

Joe. Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 Well he sounds decent enough. Let's just hope he's the answer on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 Pretty pleased with this. Thought it was taking a long time to happen. Nice to see us signing International players from Benfica. I get the impression he is more of a right sided player but I'm hoping he'll play on the left for us.I assume the rumoured clause about an option to buy at the end of the season didn't happen????? I hope he plays where he belongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume end of this calendar year but it could be construed differently. According to this Sky Sports article it is until June 2008 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11712_2667615,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flynny Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 Not bad at all by the sound of it. Hopefully he'll play on the right, not the left, if he's predominantly a right-winger. Anything beats Newton. It'd explain Gradel's loan being extended, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bareknucklefoxer. Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 I hope he plays where he belongs. I've read somewhere that Portuguese players are trained hard on both sides, especially wide playing players, so I presume that this guy can play anywhere on the flanks, be it at the back or in midfield. I think he's going to be one of our better signings, he has good pedigree and is only29. We all have to wait and see with our own eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breadandcheese Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 It'll be interesting to see where Milan plays him. At the moment, it seems like we've now got 2 right wingers in Kaebi and Ferreira. Not too sure his pedigree is as good as people think. It's certainly a mixed bag with 4 international caps, yet also an odd exile in Japan. Looking at wikipeda and his stats, he's never played that many games in a season, averaging around 20 games a season. Could be great but equally could be appalling. Still, his name sounds a bit like Ferrari and he's foreign... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo, Queresma and Nani are the three Portuguese wingers in the national team atm and are all right footers equally adept at playing left or right wing, as was the great Luis Figo.

Ozwin Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 One of our better signings by the looks of things. He must be a left winger because that's the main position that's needed looking at and as the website states he's here to fill that position.

Telf Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 Really hope he is a left winger and a good one. Hopefully he can sort are problem out on the left and i also think we have a option to buy him at the end of the season for around 500k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Ferreira - he played 23 games in the season Porto won the Champions League, says he picked up the UEFA Cup too.....wow!
