Mourinho Hapy With McDonald Mariga Signing

February 5, 2010

At the press conference for McDonald Marige, Mourinho has some interesting things to say about his new signing:

Mariga has millions of neurones and he can only improve by training with Javier Zanetti, Esteban Cambiasso and Marco Materazzi,. He reminds me of Juventus’ Momo Sissoko, but Mariga has more margins to improve on a technical and tactical level as he is young.”

Just go Patrick

October 4, 2009

vieraI am fed up reading that Patrick Viera wants to go back to the Premier League and play for Arsenal or Spurs. Just shut up and go!

Viera had a chance to leave earlier this summer but did not. He decided to stay at Inter, even when it was apparent that he was no longer good enough to start for Inter in the big games. In other words, he would be a role player.

So it was not a big surprise this week when France coach Raymond Domenech did not include Viera in his squad for this month’s World Cup qualifiers against the Faroe Islands and Austria. Virera was not happy at this and told sports daily L’Equipe:

Eto’o has apparently requested a share of the transfer from the Catalan giants but as yet his request had not had a response. It is understood now that if the two parties do not come to a settlement the matter could go before the courts.

Transfer market finished

September 1, 2009

Transfer market is now finished, no more signings.

Yesterday and today was talking about Quaresma and Mancini, loan in english or italian club, but in the end Kerlon left us.

Young talented Brazilian foward, Kerlon, left us and join Ajax on loan. He was expecting to become wonderkid, but he got injury already after joining us from Brazilian team on loan at Chievo (where he managed to play only 4 games).

We wish him the best, that he come back on the end of season in very good form, and help us in foward.
