Portugal 2011/12

[Deslandes]

Either this: http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/english-football/58507-confirmed-transfers-thread-2011-2012-a-11.html (I know it's in the England board, but Worldwide transfers are posted there) or this thread: http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/rest/76194-portugal-2011-12-a.html will suffice for transfers in Portugal.

Maybe BBC Sports threads could be moved (or even deleted) as well... Dozens of threads with 0 replies and few views are kept, but a thread which has even more interaction is moved to other. But I guess you're right

The Venezuela-born Spain Under-21 forward has reportedly left Barca's pre-season tour of the United States in order to finalise the transfer, believed to be worth around five million euros.
Jeffren looks set to undergo a medical in Portugal before signing a five-year contract.
He told Portuguese newspaper A Bola: "It is almost all right.
"I go with high hopes. Sporting is a great club where I can play with the regularity that does not happen in Barcelona and also where I can fight for titles.
"I will chase these targets, not only in Portugal but I think in the Europa League we can also have good results.''
Jeffren passed up the chance to move to Udinese last month as part of the deal which saw the European champions sign Chile winger Alexis Sanchez, with Barca instead affording the 23-year-old the chance to find a club that best suited him as he sought regular first-team football.
Barca coach Pep Guardiola told El Pais: ``This was a mutual decision between the player and me. I told him if he wanted to play more, the best thing was for him to leave.
"For his age, he has to play. There could be three years without participating. The best thing for him is to leave, so that he can play more.
"His behaviour has been exemplary. I wish him all the luck in the world.
"He came through with us to the first team and has really helped us in everything. We appreciate everything he has done.''

Any thoughts? Is this a good transfer for Sporting Lisbon?

Jeffren a good deal? .. No, an excellent deal... ~~ If he will show his potential, we do not know...

Too many wingers at the wrong side of Lisbon I reckon. That said, I know we have too many CM's, shut it

All Good things come to an End.

It is with sadness but hope that I announce that this thread has ended, just as my work at FM Base. I thought I could keep up with school but I really don't have the time, so there's no use in leaving this thread alive. This year I have my last year at high school, English classes, as I'm taking the CAE in English at the end of the year, German classes, swimming lessons and driving lessons.

I'll stay around FMBase, obviously, but can't really keep this thread updated. I'm proud of this thread, which was the reason to the creation of many others like this (Spain, Germany, Italy, etc). I'm proud of my work, and know I did my best. The only thing that disappoints me is the fact that sometimes, I'd just leave this for dead. And, obviously, having to give up on a work which I put so much effort at.

I encourage anyone who's interested in reviving the portuguese football in this forum, starting a new thread. You can use everything I have in here, the concept, layout and info. All I can do is to thank you for that.

Keep our football alive, portuguese lads!
Trust it is better than it is said to be, everyone else!

BENFICA FOREVER ​
