Yes, let's put this here also.

Gazzetta say he has done his medical already. I assume it's a loan since Valencia was willing to loan him to Sporting (but they couldn't agree the salary payment).

edit. I must say I don't remember hardly anything from this guy. Hopefully this is a loan. That way everything is saved and we haven't committed to anything permanent!

 

[pazzainteramala]

wow this came out of no where shocked

 

[jayjay]

I think this was The MR X suprise that someone has mentioned

 

[Pajo]

Really? This is the same guy who was playing in Porstmouth and Everton.. The black guy from portugal NT?

Yeah, i like him.. If this is true, than we don'r need ledesma.. And i hope it's permanent deal not just a loan. I like his workrate, and he has good passing as well, stamina, speed, he is great player, for now and for the future as well, he is 23 as far as i know..

Anyone seen him play?? Any comments would be good.

 

[Black&Blue]

Good player

 

[jayjay]

Not -

He's very creative. Fantastic dribbler of the ball, pretty quick. A very technical player. Good in defense too.

 

[Pajo]

I haven't seen him in valencia to be honest, but he was great in EPL.. Has good tehnique and great passing, high work rate and speed. It's rare to see player in his position and to be fast..

I have liked him since he played in Everton, i still do.. I just didn;t expect him, we have never been linked with him.. I think he would do great IMO, even better than ledesma, and he is still only 23 if im not mistaken..

 

[jayjay]

Which is Young which is great

Recalcti's Inter Site says this:

Closed temporarily on Ledesma, the new piece in the midfield for the champions of Italy, Manuel Fernandes of Valencia. The Portuguese midfielder, born in '86, should arrive tomorrow morning where it will make visits to Appiano medical ritual. Fernandes would come in the form of a loan, where they were not sent any technical counterparts, assuming they will be. We will try to give you more details in the evening.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Loan deal is perfect. We won't commit ourselves to anything. We will get this guy "on trial" and he's pretty cheap I think. Half of his salaries cost 600k€, according to Portuguese media, when they talked about his potential loan move to Sporting.

 

[Pajo]

loan would be great.. But i would also like an option to buy, if he proves himself, why not buy him? And I think he is perfect for serie a, we'll see though...

 

[jayjay]

Thats what i was thinking

 

[sakana]

Have read that he's good with the ball at his feet -- does he regularly go at people and beat them? That would be nice.

 

[maxw]

I am a member in another site, and the Sporting Portugal forum in there have some inside connections with Sporting team/management. They released this rumour about three hours ago. Nice if he is a technical player, but is he a good passer?

 

[Luka]

This is a... shocker. Wasn't he linked with this Veloso beat, moving to Sporting ?

One question: why is he leaving Valencia ?

...

Loan is a good move indeed.

Ledesma must be pretty pissed at Lolito right now. If this guy will be good enough, Ledesma can kiss his future at Inter goodbye.

 

[sakana]

One question: why is he leaving Valencia ?

Apparently his relationship with their coach has never been good, and he wants playing time ahead of the WC.
