It seems there is a good chance Zé Roberto (the former Portuguesa, Flamengo and Brazil's national team one) returns to Santos in May, when his contract in the Mideast expires

.

how old is he,.. like 36.

by biggiejay Thu Jan 26, 2012 10:19 pm

He's actually 37 but he still runs like hes 27. I love that guy, he's a wonderful footballer. I wish Cruzeiro could sign a player like him Crying or Very sad

noo ze roberto is too old................. why, santos? we don't need him. rather save up and get diego from atletico madrid ..

Leonardo (ex-Portuguesa) has already left PAOK to join Grêmio Barueri.

Rumors has it that Coutinho will join Espanyol on loan.

I particularly think it to be a smart move in terms of his development and only natural to be honest. Great players like Dinho, Rivaldo, Ronaldo had to proven themselves playing in minor leagues/clubs before they moved to big clubs. Moving so young to a top side is like skipping some crucial stages and Italians clubs, mainly Inter, aren't exactly known for youth development. Razz

espanyol?he should come back to brazil,not disappear in spain like Wellington silva

R.I.P. Coutinho's career. He is looking more and more average each passing year. I doubt he even gets called-up for the Olympics. At this rate I can name 6-7 players that are better than him ready to suit up for Brazil.

Little overreacting, no?

It's not official yet, though. I dunno if Calciomercato is completely trustworthy http://www.calciomercato.it/news/144605/Mercato-Inter-Coutinho-finisce-a-Barcellona.html

No... His development has been stagnant for almost 2 years now....

I think players like Roberto Firmino, Oscar, Leandro, and Lucas Moura will have people forgetting who he is soon.

Portuguesa signed Ricardo Jesus, who had a very good Série B last year playing for Ponte Preta.

Henrique to Granada on a six month loan. With an option to buy.

São Paulo announced that for now they won't try to sign Nilmar anymore, largely because his agent is demanding too high wages for Nilmar.

And Internacional are close to signing striker Jajá, who plays in Mideast.

Well then...

im watching Casemiro right now...wtf happened to him?used to be a beast.wont have a spot for the Olympics if he keeps this shetty form up

by Catracho Thu Feb 02, 2012 10:01 pm

word is that Casemiro has a huge ego. He thinks he's much better than what he actually is... He needs a reality check and fast.

btw Botafogo just signed Fellype Gabriel, who was playing for Antlers in Japan.

Douglas from Grêmio has joined Corinthians on a 3 year deal for R$ 3 million. Afro

Ganso is back. Great performance yesterday, despite our mere draw against Oeste (which really is understandable as they are much more prepared than the Santos players were.. it was their first match and they started their pre-season later than everyone else this year). I hope it stays like this, and I hope he doesn't get injured.

by Yeezus Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:33 pm

How Marcos Assuncao at 35 is behind every Palmeiras goal is amazing. You can't even replace him now.

Send him to the Olympics or 2014 Smile

fantastic player.

by Catracho Fri Feb 03, 2012 6:29 pm

...what.

He's a set piece king.. annnddd thats about it. his crossing and passing is absurd.. but i don't expect much more from him.

by Catracho Fri Feb 03, 2012 8:49 pm

Rádio Gaúcha claims that Grêmio are trying to sign André Dias (Lazio), Enzo Pérez (Benfica) and Facundo Bertoglio (Dynamo Kyiv).

I don't think they sign any of them.

it doesnt look like that at all. the colors on the sleeve are much thicker and uglier. there's no balance.

by Sir Psycho Sat Feb 04, 2012 1:45 am

Those jersey's are crisp, better than the one w/ futuristic numbering and a "random" bar in the middle. I'll purchase a Ganso one no doubt.
