Guest Peter.Sthlm Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 The only thing we have to offer him that Porto can't match is the wagebill. He will end up in a more sucessful club and probably one in La Liga or Serie A. Haven't seen him more then 2-3 times but my sisters bf is Portuguese (Sporting fan) and he doesn't belive he is made for the Premiership. Btw I think Inter are really keen on signing him.

Lagerstedt Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 If I'm not mistaken, Queresma was considered to be the bigger talant when people compared him and C.Ronaldo... Always liked him, just a shame he didn't make it or even got a proper chance at Barca Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Maxi Rodriguez would be a better bet if were talking about a big midfield signing. Not as much flair as Quaresma, but far more consistency, especially when it comes to putting the ball in the back of the net. Built for the Premiership too.

Guest exilim Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I think you gotta be dreaming lol! He rejected bayern and inter saying that he's happy at porto, what makes u think he will come to newcastle, such a big club it is now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 If that shot against Chelsea went in he'd be at a top club next month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 The last he joined a club outside of Portugal he was a roaring success he was only 18 or 19 when he joined Barca and just had the likes of Luis Figo (who was at his peak) and Luis Enrique ahead of him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SLK Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Highly rated in the past but now seemingly off the boil. Just the type of player Sam gets and utitilises their potential Anyone remember the last "off the boil" player Sam signed from Portugal? Mario Jardel. That one went well... PS: Not that this counts for much compared to all the people who actually pay attention to football on the continent...but I saw Quaresma once upon a time. Would have been 4 years ago or so when Barca came to City. Didn't look owt special to me - By which I mean, he did f*** all - and he would have been up against Michael Tarnat who wasn't much of a defender. Then again Ronaldinho did f*** all either and he's no bad... Maybe both had BLUE DOWN ARROWS against their names that day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Liverpool are apparently close to snaring him. Benítez is also in the hunt for a new winger, possibly two, and the indications from Portugal last night were that Ricardo Quaresma, of FC Porto, could fit the bill. Liverpool are said to have had a £13.5 million bid for the 23-year-old Portugal winger turned playmaker rejected, although a slightly improved offer could be enough to persuade the Portuguese club to sell. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premiership/liverpool/article2028699.ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very exciting and dynamic player in the Ronaldo mould who would do well in the premiership. Yeah it would be pretty depressing ... He's improved so much over the last few seasons, has got almost as many skills as Ronaldo and has the physical demands for the Premiership, i think he'd be quality in England.

toontownman Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Just goes to show, even with the best investment and signings we have made in years, and we will still end up further behind the top four! Good to see Liverpool board are getting the cheque book out at last, if they want to challenge Chelsea and Manure they need to buy big, to top the solid squad they already have.

Guest SLK Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I would have been satisfied with Quaresma + Tevez + one new left back + one more CB on top of what we have already signed...That would have been it for this summer shopping...If only dreams come true...

toontownman Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 We dont particularly need Quaresma. If we get a big money signing its likely to be a big name playmaker or Center half , imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliemort Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 No doubt hes quality but hard to know how he would get on in the premiership!also think we should get rb and lb first! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 The only thing we have to offer him that Porto can't match is the wagebill. We have potential to offer him as well. Porto are a good club with an excellent history, but they will always have the limit of playing in the Portugese league. With a new manager and new billionaire owner we have the potential to be a top Premiership side, all we need to do is sell that too the player. Hate it when people say "great player but he'd never come here" this kind of negativity really pisses me off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate it when people say "great player but he'd never come here" this kind of negativity really pisses me off. I think it's more a case of people not expecting him to give up the lifestyle he currently has now as much as anything else. He's a big fish in a smallish pond and he may be quite content with that. I take your point though, if his decision was purely based on football reasons, he'd be better of challenging himself in a better league such as ours.

Teasy Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 he wouldnt join Newcastle United would he? hes at a higher rated club already Co-Efficient you mean?.. Newcastle are a few places ahead of Port last time I checked. Not that its really relivant of course. Anyway currently he's at a very good club who have been a lot more successful then us in winning trophies, no doubt about that. They have a very good history. But they really have a fixed ceiling on how well they can do. They're the sort of club who will win a major European trophy and then sell off there best players to bigger clubs and disapear for a while as they rebuild. They just don't have the financial base or pull to big players to go any further then that, mainly because they play in a league which is considered to be B level (compared to the Premiership, Serie A and La Liga). Being a Premiership club gives us a major advantage, and with a new billionaire owner and new manager we only need to sell the idea of big things happening here and future Premiership success and we do have a chance of signing these kind of players IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
