David Luiz is close to sign with Chelsea for about £25.5m + a young player (Bruma, Aanholt, Matic or Rajkovic)

After the loss (3-2) yesterday against Paços de Ferreira, the chairman of Sporting has left the club.

the first and third goals of Paços were great.

Btw, Diogo Salomão of Sporting, is being called here the new Nani. They have a similar style, and were at the same club before signing with Sporting (Real Massamá).

Why is Coentrao going to Madrid? What about Di Maria? Sign him up Houllier. PLEASE! If we sign ADM, I will hug a bluenose.

Coentrão is going to compete with Marcelo as a left back.

linked with quite a few left backs.

Also im sure the Benfica forum transfer threads are just as busy as Villatalk

The right and lef backs are the main problem in Benfica. Maxi Pereira and Coentrão are the main guys, but we don't have hane back up. And since Coentrão is going to Real Madrid next season...

Oh you don't wanna go there

Well, half of the season is done, so i'll do a little update on the Portuguese League, Portuguese Cup and League Cup. 8)

On the Europa League:

Rangers vs Sporting

Lech Poznan vs Sp. Braga

Sevilla vs Porto

Benfica vs Stuttgart

Besiktas is about to sign Simão Sabrosa, Hugo Almeida and Manuel Fernandes

How i Padraig Amond doing for Pacos? He was on fire here before he left for Portugal.

His girlfriend is fine as well

8 games and only 1 goal scored (for the league cup)

http://videos.sapo.pt/z60gr63uqZUHiNSM1PSa

He scored the 1st goal. He usually plays the last 15/20 minutes, so i don't have and opinion on him yet. There's a lot of competition in their squad. They Have 3 very good young players Nélson Oliveira (on loan from Benfica), Caetano (former young player of Porto) and Pizz (on loan from Braga).

Let me do a little update on this topic

And the 4th Round of the Portuguese Cup

Timo Hildebrand signed with Sporting CP and Makukula went to Manisaspor for 3 years.

Hleb was rumoured to sign with Benfica, but it seems that he's going to Birmingham... :c

Sporting CP is cleaning their house.

Pongolle -> Zaragoza (loan)

Stojkovic -> Partizan (loan)

Tonel -> Dinamo Zagreb (2 years)

And Meireles is close to sign with Liverpool for 13M€.

Aleksandr Hleb was linked today, by the spanish press, to Benfica. Doni (Because Roberto is being a flop...), yesterday. And Wendel 3 days ago

FC Porto have signed Argentine centre-back Nicolas Otamendi (22) from Velez Sarsfield for approximately 4 million Euros on a four-year deal.

Benfica is close to sign Salvio on loan from Atl. Madrid. Armand Traoré could be next.

Porto wants Otamendi and Sporting CP, Corradi.

Traoré rejected the offer that Benfica made, so Benfica canceled the deal.

http://www.slbenfica.pt/Informacao/Futebol/Noticias/noticiasfutebol_futinformacaotraore_200810_65428.asp

Remy signed with Marseille, Salvio with Benfica (on loan), WBA signed Tioté (ex-Twente).

Benfica is close to sign Salvio on loan from Atl. Madrid. Armand Traoré could be next.

Porto wants Otamendi and Sporting CP, Corradi.

Marc MOTM what a game!

who?

http://www.zerozerofootball.com/player/halliche/current/profile/0/default/53403/?search=1

This guy. He was at the World Cup. He is a CB.

Halliche is close to sign with Fulham.

United fans are excited. As Bebe was homeless they think he'll be a great box to box player.

Epic.

That sign... wow. Never saw him play. But some friends told me that he is a good player, but a little bit trouble maker. He is a winger or a #10.

Btw Bebe = Baby

Paulo Bento!

Zenit is building a really good team this season.
