why need this thread?
So here we are on a winning streak in all competitions but people are still looking for negativism... it`s like they are unable to live with positive thoughts and enjoy the precious present that we live in
It's hard to remember all the fantastic players Ausilio, Branca and Moratti himself brought us here:
- Silvestre
- Pereira
- Mudingayi
- Zarate
- Melo
- Osvaldo
- Castaignos
- Mariga
- Forlan
- Santon
...
Excuse me but Osvlado was AWESOME. If he would have kept up to being a pro, he would still be a monster. Santon was great piece of business, as mentioned by Il Drago.
Dodô was not ready but at least we got some of the money back from Sampdoria. Now he`s contantly playing with the "Gabigol" flop @ Santos on loan.
From my point of view the
worst transfer DONE post treble has to be João Mário - we wasted €40m + Kia fees + signing on fee and he doesn`t even give a shit. He is on high wage, not playing and we struggle to offload him. His value decreased to €20m now and still there is no buyer for this lousy guy.
Barbosa is close second with his value dropping from €29.5m to only €8m, but a striker has a higher potential re-sale value. However, still young and could get his shit together, at least in theory. He must have some kind of pride in him, unlike that turd JM. Barbosa did not have many chances over here to be honest and it was a mess back then. He was tried as a winger and he was clearly unprepared for that role. As , the problem is the loss he generates year by year + wage being payed by Inter [at least the largest portion of it]. From a business point of view, we need to bring him back to Europe and try to integrate him. He can still be good, but Spalletti must think of a system in which he uses both Icardi and Lautaro/Gabi.
Gabigol has scored 15 goals in 35 appearances in all competitions for Santos since his arrival and Santos President José Carlos Peres would certainly like to keep him for another season.
“Bringing him back here the first time was difficult,” Peres told GloboEsporte. “Now that he’s doing well and scoring goals, Inter could stiffen their position.
“We want a new annual loan. We have already contacted Inter and we know it will be difficult. They bought the player on a four-year deal, so they would be practically giving us half his contract, and this is where things get complicated.
“They paid $88M dollars, which works out at 22m a year. If he remains with us for another 12 months, then that’s another 22m lost.”
And of course Santos are not paying anything near the resonable loan fee, because Gabi loves them
They pay €1.5m for 1 year. We need to stop this retartadion and impose ourselves.
