VLC86 Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 whoops Breaking News: Alan Shearer has signed for Newcastle!
Alf Bentley Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 Sounds like it might be more a case of Cardozo wanting a move or a contract extension (as he is 31, has had recent injuries, spent half the 13/14 season on the bench and doesn't have long left on his contract, apparently)...maybe Benfica wanting rid, too. The more that I read, the less this sounds like a Pearson signing - and the more I prefer the prospect of Ulloa. Maybe I'll be wrong and Cardozo will be parading in blue with NP tomorrow! Portuguese sports web site (today): http://www.multidesportos.com/benfica-oscar-cardozo-apresenta-se-amanha-seixal-mas-ainda-pode-sair/ Translation: "Oscar Cardozo presenting himself at Benfica training ground tomorrow, but could still leave Pedro Aldave, the representative of the Paraguayan player Oscar Cardozo today revealed that the striker will present himself tomorrow at Benfica's Seixal training complex for the first day of Benfica's 2014/15 season. However, his stay with the Reds is still no fait accompli, as there are clubs interested in "Big Cane" ( *) and if the bids are good for the player and for the club, there will be news. In statements made to the Antena 1 radio station, Aldave commented that 'leaving is an option until the end of August, but I still can't talk about anyone specific; on the other hand, there is the option to stay at Benfica; I know nothing. I still have to talk to Cardozo'. 'We are all quite calm, as Cardozo has a contract so he isn't going to end up without a club, whether it is in Portugal or in England. Let us see what develops over the coming days', Aldave added. Readers will recall that Leicester City has been mentioned as Cardozo's next club; however, Benfica admit that no official bid whatever has yet been received at the Stadium of Light**". * Some would translate "Tacuara" as "Bamboo", but others use "Big Cane", which is better, surely!? ** Pedantry corner: Lisbon's ground should really translate as "Luz Stadium" as it is named after a district of Lisbon called Luz (which means "light")....or should "Liverpool" in French be "Piscine de Foie"?!
chapero82 Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 Berty, is this transfer happening?! He would probably say yes just, to make people cum in there pants to let them down
VLC86 Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 Benfica's Seixal training complex Sexual training complex? He will be disappointed if he does come here.
pazzerfox Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 I thought the Mercury reported that we were not in for Cardozo?
ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 I thought the Mercury reported that we were not in for Cardozo? They probaby know about as much as we do!
Mark_w Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 Berty, is this transfer happening?! It doesn't take Bert to work out this isn't happening.

chapero82 Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 Rob tanner says no, @RobTannerMerc: @BlueFox_LCFC am told not.
Robin JD Popley Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 Rob tanner says no, @RobTannerMerc: @BlueFox_LCFC am told not. Thanks for sharing this mate; I just don't get his agent's fixation with us if it isn't true? As much as I would love him here, I think Ulloa is the one to go for. The more I think about it, the more I genuinely want it to happen.
Alf Bentley Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 Always referred to as the stadium of light in English. I'm aware of that. That's why I used "Stadium of Light" in my translation and prefaced that comment with the words "Pedantry Corner", among other things. The comment was intended to be a bit of tongue-in-cheek silliness, not a serious suggestion that everyone should start calling Benfica's ground "Luz Stadium" now.....they should have done that in the first place! Thanks for sharing your wisdom and knowledge, though.
Buzzell Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 It doesn't take Bert to work out this isn't happening. Hey we're a massive club now, anything can happen!
kingfox Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 Saw him again today in town, enquiring about when the King Richard III visitor centre was going to be open.
Robin JD Popley Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 Saw him again today in town, enquiring about when the King Richard III visitor centre was going to be open. I hope you promptly pointed him in the direction of a Council car park?
Narborough_fox Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 The thought of this just makes me happy. God knows what I'd be like if we actually signed him.
chapero82 Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 Thanks for sharing this mate; I just don't get his agent's fixation with us if it isn't true? As much as I would love him here, I think Ulloa is the one to go for. The more I think about it, the more I genuinely want it to happen. No worries mate I try to help as much as I can when I see info from the right sources I can't see this happening myself either tbh
CosbehFox Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 Saw him again today in town, enquiring about when the King Richard III visitor centre was going to be open. Was he wearing an Algeria shirt with Mahrez on the back ?
Robin JD Popley Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 Was he wearing an Algeria shirt with Mahrez on the back ? I'm sure because he comes over as quite a classy player; he would have been parading around in one of those 'LES-TAH' shirts... There all the craze now with people apparently.
Haydos Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 I've had time to reconsider this. Been thinking about Ricky Van Wolfswinkel and his move to Norwich. He seemed to be pretty well know to English fans and was for whatever reason rated and they generally thought it was a strong signing. Cardozo seems to be similarly rated due to a solid scoring record for Benfica (and being a ledge on FM). Their fans don't seem to bothered though, could he have gone off the boil in the last couple of years and could he be a similar signing to RVW?
dpjfox Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 pictures of him on twitter today apparently at Lisbon Airport, probably getting a flight to Moscow!
