Vitor Roque (loaned to Real Betis)

Good news

Taking an initial 10m+ loss if that is true.

Whomever sanctioned this fucked with our finances as well as the player. Sad.

My bet is on Laporta. Smells like something he would do, probably convinced by the sweet tongue of that agent Tim Curry about the great quality of Roque.

Curry took him to a rodizio and said "Joan, the secret is to avoid the first cuts and only take the last ones, those are the best"

Ever since then Curry had his trust. The Roque deal was never in doubt.

Great move for Vitor and Sporting.

Don't care about this finished club anymore.

Another reason to watch Sporting atleast.

Maybe Deco includes Fort in the deal and comes back with Fresneda

 

[Barcaman]

He is probably better than Ferran but alas. Wrong nationality.

I am not a fan of his ability but he was definitely treated unfairly.

A Brazilian forward that can't dribble, is no Brazilian, then him back home.

Yep, already enjoyed watching Sporting a lot last year because of Amorim, my boy Trincao, Gyokeres and Diomande.

Would say they're my new favorite team alongside Brighton.

Horrid business.

It is what it is. When you take unproven players from South America... this can happen. Not like the guy had many games for his senior national team either to see him perform at a higher level.

 

[vuji_31]

I am satisfied with this deal.

20mil is more then enough for what he showed.

He is terrible.

 

[Messi983]

He'll be a 70m player within two years

 

[serghei]

I'm sure we will put in a buy-back of some sort if we sell him for just 20m. In case he turns out great.

Seems fishy that there's now 2 managers that don't rate him well enough to get even decent minutes. Chances are, he has a lot of improving to do and Barca, who are required to win now, can't give him enough time.

Can't take the deals if you don't have the backing for them.

Savinho couldn't get a game at PSV
Gabriel Moscardo is going on loan for experience.
Etc

Roque probably won't end up a Reinier, but we are as desperate as a virgin on the last day of earth.
