Rui Costa, Presidente do Sport Lisboa e Benfica

[Innuendo]

Tem ainda 55 dias para colmatar o plantel.

Idealmente já o deveria ter feito para começar a pre-epoca com os novos jogadores, e terem a adaptação feita no início da época.

O que deve acontecer, Último dia do mercado.

Temos um joker. Não há pressa.

Ele faz as laterais, o meio campo e até vai a baliza se for caso disso

Os alvos estão identificados, Rui ?

Ao tempo. Todos identificados. Só não se consegue contratá-los.

Há mais de uma ano, o mercado corre a nosso favor, e a favor dos dispensados do PSG.

[AntiAzeitona]

Duvido que conseguisse negociar uma camisola do Galatasaray num bazar em Istanbul quanto mais arranjar uma forma razoavel e viavel de trazer o Felix. Basta ver a razoabilidade do negocio Jurassek

A compra de gelados para a testa dos chalupas também já viu melhores dias.

Its frightening how similar Benfica are to Celtic. You guys have a great youth academy though and we are run to have zero debt/stash money. If you go on Celtic forums you'll see identical stuff aimed at our chairman Peter Lawell in transfer threads etc. Similar hatred.

Yes, but does that Peter fellow start his days at noon, though?

Honestly he's probably at home penny pinching before he goes in the office. Will probably phone Rui Costa on the last day of the window in desperation asking for a loan favour from one of your B squad/fringe players.

He appointed his son as sporting director last year claiming no one else could do it better. then we had a shambolic 2 transfer windows and got fired. No idea how we are targeting players now.

When asked why they don't spend money despite sitting on vast amounts of money from champions league and the Jota sale he said he didn't want us to be Everton lol.

We are massive underachievers in Europe because our board have decided the extent of our ambition should be just to be a point ahead of Rangers no matter how bad they are. No ambition.

Why spend 8 million on a very good player or 4 million on 2 good players when you can sign 4 players at 2 million each and hope you luck out that even one is good is their approach most of the time.

I think there was close to a revolution by fans in the covid season but a super lucky gamble on ange Postecoglou saved their jobs for now.

Maybe his son was a mean Football Manager player, who knows.

It always gives me a feeling of hopelessness reading about clubs owned by somebody. You just have to accept how it is and support regardless.

Then I look at a clube like Benfica and see a supporter-appointed board of directors doing everything they can to perpetuate themselves in power and attempt to sell parts of the club and realize we are not too far away from that reality.

The hopelessness is almost the same by now.

Anyway, the prospect you want this year is Henrique Araújo. You can't call him a prospect for too long anymore, you guys are our only hope to turn him around. Amazing talent.

His son was a chief scout at Man City I think but it's more due to nepotism than anything else.

Even the market thread on here is really similar to Celtic ones. Loads of people posting and hoping on potential targets only to be let down.

Will keep an eye out on the player you mention. After Jota and potentially Bernardo, Portugal will likely become a hunting ground for us to find diamonds in the rough.

[Faroleiro]

Começar amigáveis a dia 12 com o plantel ainda carente de posições que já se viu que no ano passado faltava jogadores..... incompetência ou sabotagem???

Daria j€ito ao Cadeira de Sonho e à porcalhada serem campeões esta época.

[Faroleiro]

Acordou agora da sesta

Acordou para quê!?

Se continua tudo na mesma do Benfica, nem sei para que é que decidiu acordar da sesta.
