Liverpool Missed Ricardo Quaresma Opportunity – Ex-Red Steve McManaman
Former Liverpool star ‘Macca’ wants wingers at Anfield, and rues Quaresma moving to Chelsea…
Will always contend that Liverpool missed the boat by not signing Simao first off. For crying out loud what else did he have to prove to them? The player single handily knocked out Liverpool from the Champions League in 2006, a year after they won the crown. The same could of been said about Quaresma who could of given Liverpool a short term jolt for a team in desperate need of one.
Roberto Mancini Could Take Over At Napoli Next Season – Report
Azzurri boss Edy Reja looks set to take up an executive position at the end of the campaign, and President De Laurentiis has set his sights on replacing him with Mancini.
The only way Mancini would consider going to Napoli which quite frankly is a step back from Inter Milan would be if De Laurentiis opens up the vault. Taking into account Napoli’s rise from Serie B to the top half in Serie A it wouldn’t be out of the question for De Laurentiis to pour even more money into the team.
Queiroz calls on Manchester United pair
Manchester United pair Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani have both been named by Carlos Queiroz in his Portugal squad to face Finland in a friendly next Wednesday.
Portugal squad:
Goalkeepers: Daniel Fernandes (Bochum), Eduardo Carvalho (Braga).
Defenders: Bruno Alves (Porto), Goncalo Brandao (Siena), Pepe (Real Madrid), Rolando (Porto), Miguel (Valencia), Paulo Ferreira (Chelsea).
Midfielders: Deco (Chelsea), Joao Moutinho (Sporting), Maniche (Atletico Madrid), Raul Meireles (Porto), Duda (Malaga), Tiago (Juventus), Eliseu (Malaga).
Forwards: Danny (FC Zenit), Hugo Almeida (Werder Bremen), Nani (Manchester United), Orlando Sa (Braga), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United).
Mark my words Portugal will win 3-0 when it doesn’t matter against Finland and tense up when World Cup qualifiers start up again next month. Orlando Sa you are my next great hope for even a half decent Portuguese striker.
