Re: Summer Transfers - IN
Benfica try Soldado
Benfica has been busy looking at potential transfers and striker Roberto Soldado has been one of talked ones. The Real Madrid forward was a Benfica target last season but a hefty price tag and lack of interest from the player shook off any possibility.
Although new manager Quique Flores worked with Soldado at Real Madrid Castilla (youth rank) and the Spaniard could be up for a reunion.
"I would like to work with Quique Flores, he's a manager that knows me well and knows exactly what I can give to the team."
Rui Costa has been given the green light for negotiations and a €7m package may be needed to prize him away from Real, with a reported €2m/€3m per annum salary.
€7m?!
thats it?! i thought his price was goin to be double that. Lets pick him up!!
If we purchase this guy im definitly gettin his name on the back of my next Benfica jersey

Miccoli desejado
ENCARNADOS TENTAM TRAZER O "BOMBARDEIRO" DE VOLTA À LUZ
ENCARNADOS TENTAM TRAZER O "BOMBARDEIRO" DE VOLTA À LUZ
Os adeptos do Benfica podem sonhar com o regresso de Fabrizio Miccoli à Luz, caso os responsáveis encarnados consigam concretizar o desejo de voltar a ver o italiano vestir de águia ao peito.
O avançado que esta temporada jogou noPalermo, da Serie A, é um dos alvos de Rui Costa para reforçar a próxima temporada, não só porque o futebol de Miccoli tem características apreciadas no seio do clube, mas também pela empatia que o jogador sempre conseguiu ter com os adeptos, nas duas épocas (2005/06 e 2006/07) que esteve em Lisboa.
O Benfica está a tentar tudo para trazer o “bombardeiro” de volta, embora a missão não seja fácil. Recorde-se que Miccoli saiu da Luz por uma questão financeira, já que os responsáveis encarnados acharam elevado o valor de 5 milhões de euros que a Juventus pediu para libertar o jogador a título definitivo.

Carlos Martins and Pongolle cloe to Benfica
record.pt wrote:Carlos Martins e Pongolle por um fio
DUPLA DO RECREATIVO MUITO PERTO DA LUZ
O Benfica prepara-se para pescar em águas de Huelva, mantendo negociações bastante adiantadas por dois dos mais influentes jogadores do Recreativo – o avançado francês Sinama-Pongolle, prioridade máxima da lista deixada por Quique Flores, e o português Carlos Martins, paixão antiga do director desportivo Rui Costa.
As transferências não estão fechadas mas para lá caminham a passos largos (negócios estão 90 por cento “feitos”), existindo um princípio de acordo relativamente às compensações monetárias a conceder pelo luso (40 por cento da verba irá para o Sporting) e o gaulês, o qual, diga-se de passagem, encontra-se de férias no Dubai... emirado de onde chegaram ontem a meio da manhã Luís Filipe Vieira e Rui Costa.
Record are normally quite accurate when they say something is close to being accepted. These 2 player's are very good and both are quite young. On Abola it says we have offered for this Damian Escudero (An attacking mid that plays for Velez in Argentina. He's 21 years old aswell). So hopefully he would be our primary attacking mid, because as much as I like Martins I just don't think he cut's it to be our #10, although i wouldn't mind him in a more centre midfield role, possibly like the Portugal tactic we use.
I wan't to see how this new's progress's though. Normally it's like, we are linked with a player one day then linked with 58 other players the next day

Re: Summer Transfers - IN
to be honest with you guys, i kinda have my hopes up hoping we do sign Martins. I think he would make an absolute great addition, he's Portuguese(possibly a future Portuguese international) so him comin to us/to Portugal would be more possibe, and he already stated the he wanted to leave Huelva and that goin back to Lisboa for Benfica would be a great and smart move.
c'mon over Martins please
c'mon over Martins please

Re: Summer Transfers - IN
I would like Martins to join us, but to become our #10 then it's a bit worrying. He's not the sort of #10 we need, although he would be quality to play in a more box to box role (Katsouranis sort of role).
Re: Summer Transfers - IN
I just found out that Jorge Ribeiro is in fact property of Benfica!
they were talkin about him and his preformance on the Fox Sports channel this morning over here

Re: Summer Transfers - IN
^^^ Tbh i really do not want him to join us now. He's gnna end up being a Luis Felipe, just like all the other player's we ahve signed from Portuguese sides....Makukula, Manduca, Paulo Jorge, etc. 

Re: Summer Transfers - IN
Negócio fechado
PONGOLLE E CARLOS MARTINS APRESENTADOS HOJE OU AMANHÃ
Fechado! Sinama-Pongolle e Carlos Martins já são quase reforços do Benfica, devendo ser apresentados ainda hoje ou amanhã. Os dois jogadores do Recreativo rumam à Luz a troco de 10 milhões de euros, sendo que 40 por cento do valor da transferência do internacional português é canalizada para o Sporting.
Quique Flores vê assim satisfeito o pedido efectuado durante as reuniões com Rui Costa. Ao elaborar a lista de potenciais reforços, o treinador espanhol colocou o nome de Sinama-Pongolle no topo das prioridades, surgindo numa posição de menor destaque o nome de Fabrizio Miccoli.
O novo director desportivo do Benfica não quis defraudar as expectativas do técnico e pôs imediatamente mãos à obra, conseguindo resgatar o internacional francês ao Huelva, emblema que o blindara com uma cláusula de 10 milhões.
O jogador, esse, encontrava-se então de férias no Dubai, emirado por onde passaram ainda na semana transacta… Luís Filipe Vieira e Rui Costa.
O antigo atacante do Liverpool, onde coincidiu com o actual preparador físico do Benfica, Pako Ayestaran, irá reencontrar-se na Luz também com Yebda, jogador que fez parte da equipa francesa que se sagrou campeã mundial de sub-17.
Carlos Martins, esse, é também um jogador muito desejado pelo técnico e…. pelo director desportivo. Rui Costa jamais escondeu o paixão que sentia pelo futebol do antigo leão, jogador que se revelou fundamental na manutenção do Recreativo (cláusula de rescisão ascendia aos 15 milhões) no escalão principal de Espanha.
YESSSSS!

we just signed Carlos Martins and Pongolle!! They will be presented tomorrow
Im pretty darn happy we signed Carlos Martins!!
And im not 100% sure who Pongolle is but if im not mistaken, out of the good few times i've watched a Recreativo game last season, im pretty sure i seen Pongolle play acouple times..and if its him who i seen, he aint bad at all!
He's an attacking midfielder i believe?

Re: Summer Transfers - IN
I still don't think Martins is the #10.
Pongolle is a striker, or even support striker. Would do a good job with Cardozo i think.
Even though it has been unofficially anounced on Record I'm gnna bide my time and wait till Benfica announce it, or when they are both in a Benfica top.
