Hi i am barca fan but i heard a lot of things about Mantorras please can u give me all the information u know about this player ,specially his numbers(goals and matchs played)
and i heard that he may be transfered to barca is that true?

 

[manuel]

Rumours are that he will go to Barca in the summer but im not sure if there is any waight behind this. His season so far has been up and down. In the early parts of the season he looked awesome and was taking people on and beating them most of the time as well as scoring the goals. It went down hill slightly and he was struggling to find the net and got a bit greedy for my liking and he got injured and is only beggining to regain his starting place now. Potentially he is very good but i think he would benefit from staying in Portugal getting first team football until he about 22-23 before moving to a big club.

Ive just read that Mantorras will depart to Juve for E16m.

Yeah, I read this too

 

[Alexandre]

Mantorras to Barça, that's a rumor from the summer, (when Barça have try to exchange Simao for Mantorras)

 

[manuel]

Benfica should still try to exchange Mantorras for Simao.

Simao belongs to Benfica, he's no more a property of Barça

 

[manuel]

I think Barca still own some of the rights to him or something.

 

[Alexandre]

Coco and Simao transfers are similar, we don't if there are at loan or sold

 

[Bier]

Isn't Mantorras a rumour with every big club since he joined Benfica?
I don't wanna see him leave yet ... he still needs to develop ... and he belongs to Benfica! :stuckup:

 

[LuisPedroCat]

and Alverca, too.

 

[Bier]

Yes ... he scored some goals for Benfica (9 ... I know ) ... but for me Eusebio does not belong to Beira Mar IMO ... so ...

 

[manuel]

Dont Alverca still own half the rights for him?

 

[LuisPedroCat]

Sure, 50% in future sell. What happens is that if Mantorras is sold for a fee higher than €20M that percentage is modified, but nobody explained that clearly. Same story for Ednilson.

 

[manuel]

I hate these kind of deals they seem to make transfering him poinless as Benfica will hardly make any profit.

 

[Bier]

So we should not sell em ... not only for financial sakes

 

[manuel]

Would be good but i cant see it. Its best for him to stay at Benfica and play but he will move if given the chance i would wager.

 

[LuisPedroCat]

Many and high player exchanges only benefit agents.

 

[manuel]

Yeah. But if thats the case why do we continue to sell them? If were not gaining anything why offload a good player for peanuts?

 

[LuisPedroCat]

Agents directly connected with clubs only get percentages and fees when players are sold (José Veiga didn't receive any € with arrivals at SLB, he only gets 10% or more when player leaves - of course their value is increasing when at SLB, for ex). Clubs don't need to pay quick and absolute large fees to get the players, then. With the appearance of PLC's/SAD's these situations happen more frequently because these guys are new administrators of those PLC's. The example of FC Porto is more flagrant: Pinto da Costa is now only 9% owner of the club when before PLC he was quite 100%.
