Polen

If you don''t mind, I will appear here now and then, to check the inside performance of the club.You''ve got a portuguese fan...ps - in case someone coming to Portugal in vacations, if you need anything (except money :p ), don''t hesitate

lol.I don''t think so...as this board will probably be put aside on a Club''s extraordinary meeting for the associates. (here the club belongs to their associates and not a specific guy like glazer...) so I dont believe you will buy him now.also, we did not get any striker...even BBC mentioned that in their news. We bought a striker (niculae), it was posted in the club site and today, upon on his arrival, supporters and the journos put the issue that he already have played for 2 different teams this season so he could not play for us...basically the club staff made a lot of sh%$

unfortunately we only have RvW.Its false that he went to Spain.I know this thread is useless now has the market closed but in fact there was an offer made, which was not enough + the issue of the player rights being divided by 3 entities (funds).I also would like to thanks who went to our forum and I hope you have enjoy our discussions regarding RvWCheers

[quote user="Nick"]Are we buying this guy or what?[/quote]   The interest was there. But I believe the offer was not enough to satisfy the 3 entities. My personal opinion is that you may close this, as I don''t believe we will exit in 12 hours or so...

[quote user="cityislife"]Kinda dead this one now. Cant see it happening in the next 24 hours. Poland - you seem very keen for your club to shift this player out why so? I would be gutted it your shoes.[/quote]   That''s the issue...we don''t :) He is not Marco van Basten, but at age of 24 is one of the best strikers we have in the last 10 years. Until yesterday, he was the only striker in the squad (now he sign Niculae, a former player of the club with 31 years but I believe for the bench) Why I believe that he could be out? Because at the current moment, almost all the players are at sale, due to a Incompetent Board and a financial crisis. Because along with rui Patricio (PT GK) he is one of the most valuable assets. Why the business did not go forward? my guess is that, as I mentioned, the player rights are divided by the Club and 2 funds (one related to Kenyon from chelsea). In england a club must have 100% of the rights so, for that you need to settle with 3 entities, apart the fact that is value is from 10 to 11 million pounds.

[quote user="willo"]Hi Polen, Good to have some sensible people on here. You say price is 11m? my questions is, do you think he would want to come here? What is the feeling, is he genuinely interested? [/quote] Yes. Why? 1- Sporting is having a lousy season. 2- the salary will be higher 3- its EPL 4- wo offense, with a good season he can aspire a bigger club that could fight for CL qualifying + better contract.

ThThe issue is that im at work and now its difficult to say everything. When i was saying to search its because in our forum its possible by hitting the nickname, to check the users public messages... I thought you had this...

If you want, you can search what i wrote about this buss. I have like 30 posts discussing and changing opinions about this. Ps. You guys should really format the forum...

[quote user="Jammy Yellow"]RVW Interest is over Portuguese media set to release soon regarding Norwich City having no further interest in RVW after their initial enquiry. Sporting are believed to have wanted in the excess of £7m (plus all the other fees for his 2nd and 3rd party ownership)[/quote] Im at ease to deny that. Do you honest believe that 100% value is 20M £??? 10 to 11M pounds for 100% and its yours...

[quote user="splutcho"]Apparently Van Wolfie is off to Fiorentina.[/quote]Bates said the same thing in our forum.I really believed the interest was/is real.the problem is that Norwich needs to have 100% ownership and that makes the business around 10M pounds which is huge. At least for us, we''ve never made a bid like that...

[quote user="Michael Bates"]I must say, Sporting''s forum puts this to shame! But then again their support is a lot greater than ours and they seem to mostly post on that forum alone and no other competitor forums...[/quote]usually yes.sometimes there are blacksheeps from each side (Porto vs Benfica vs Sporting) but we do some operations like "Thunderstorm in Chicken Farm", special ops in order to kick intruders but it''s not that often.Regarding Bates, Im glad he went there and saw the discussions (even if does not understand &$&4).it''s easier for us to look on your forums then the other way around...most of the times google translator will not work.Ps- there are other Sporting forums, but that one is probably the biggest one and best of all...unofficial (this way it''s not censored by the Board and things like that)

[quote user="Joanna Grey"]You were doing so well until you got to "on tv". Boom! Boom! ...look at me jumping on the train to negativevibesville.[/quote]didn''t understood what you want to say...

[quote user="ricardo"] A word of warning Mario, we seldom win when on TV[/quote]Ricardo (typical portuguese name by the way), did you saw our stats this season?we have more draws then wins :p it''s being a shi&%y season for us.Regarding PL, I don''t have a favorite team, I like the game by itself so I watch almost every game of Chelsea; United; Tottenham,etc...Maybe, while discussing with you guys, I got curious and will start supporting NC.PS - I liked Halifax Town because it was my team in CM01/02...conference division :p

[quote user="Excited Canary"]It''s be very easy to go onto a Sporting forum and copy a username to make yourself seem legitimate! Reminds me too much of that French imposter last year... Either way, he isn''t doing any harm.[/quote]my nick here is not the same as the forum so that don''t work.but you have my email here, so, you can use google + if you want...you can even ask "Bates" to confirm this.If you check my records/post, you will see that regarding Sporting and RvW, I know what I''m talking about...Even if you go to our forum, you will see that we have an International Lounge, that it''s used mainly when we have Uefa games... usually foreigns go there to get tips about the city, flights, trains, what to eat and discuss the upcoming games...

lol.to be honest, i''m regular here since yesterday in order to figure if there is any relevant news in Norfolk area regarding this business.I appeared here from the "air", while searching for info about RvW.When I start posting here, a guy with the nick Desert Fox, start messing with me, because he thought I was trolling or something like that.I tried to prove him he was wrong. even gave the FB mail so he could send me a pm via face.I also invited people from here to visit our forum, which happen. At least that I know, Bates was the first, looking for some notes and thoughts about this possible business.  Also I tried to explain some users, the deals, the rumors and situations of my club and the business.Basically I liked the debate.PS - to be honest I''m thinking in start to watch Norwich City. We have a very good sport channel (called Sporttv)here in Portugal but only transmits the top 5/6 teams.

that rumor did not arrive here in Portugal...that''s for sure...

his portuguese I don''t know, but mine is OK...I guess..

I will guess that is gross salary is around 80k euros. Net around 50K...per month.

[quote user="Baracouda"]I understand you done a deal with Porto about a loan agreement for lending players, is this aimed at clearing some debt and making up numbers from Porto?.[/quote] Nop. Mainly we are lowering our pants and giving our #$" to them...it''s one more stupid decision of the board.They are smart and know that we have good values in the club, so they basically fish here...and we let them.In the current squad, they have 4 ex- Sporting players.The worst is that they are our rivals.Incredible, hein.

The news is correct. at least the newspapers give the deal already done.The issue is that we need another striker. We only had RvW, so 1 out. 1 in. It is still missing another one...Regarding the percentage, as mentioned, is 35%. The fund is basically supported by the bank so the club will see 0 from the 15%.Thats why the constant news related to England, thanks to Peter Kenyon.Bear in mind that, and don''t take this offensively, for RvW the move is good under 3 perspectives:Salary which maybe 2 times more.It''s Premier League for God sakeNorwich can be a step for clubs with more "cash" and that fight for titles or at least Champions qualifications.PS - where is my friend Desert Fox? I would like to address him some few words...

[quote user="Javier''s Deaf Translator"]So lisbon only owns 10%?[/quote?? didn''t understood...The club (Sporting Portugal) holds 35% of the "card"/pass/economic rights

I''ve posted in our forum, and I believe this escaped a lot of us...RvW "card" (don''t know the correct name) belongs:50% - Ireland "XXX" Fund which is held in partnership by Jorge Mendes (the famous agent) and Peter Kenyon (Chelsea guy).35% - Sporting Clube Portugal (please dont right Sporting Lisbon)15% - ESAF - a fund created by the club itself in partnership with a PT bank (called BES)So, as per my understanding, you need to have 100% according to PL rules. So you need to negociate with these 3 entities

[quote user="shefcanary"]New York Canaries on twitter has just posted an argentinian tweet that says Maxi Urruti of Newell''s Old Boys (an Argentinian team, he is a forward) is heading to Sporting Lisbon on loan for the rest of the season. It may be something or nothing, but is this in preparation for RVW''s departure?[/quote] it is not suppose to. because currently we are looking for another striker. If Ricky leaves we need to search 2 strikers. currently we only have RvW for that position. ps- that argentine guy is shitty player...to come, is only for the comission of some guys in the club staff.

you need to understand that it''s not that easy to negotiate with so many sides. it envolves the club, the agent, the player, in this case a Fund... also, remember that portuguese football culture is a little bit different. here we don''t have the custom of saying: "Yes, we have an offer for X player or we made a bid for Y player" You only know the business via normal lines, when the business was already done 5 hours ago :p We have a simbolical phrase here in portugal: In football, what today is true...tomorrow is a lie...
