Besiktas Signs Ricardo Quaresma

This first thing which occurred to me when I read about Ricardo Quaresma signing for Tuskish Giants Besiktas is when in the world did former Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster take over and why didn’t I get wind of this last week when it was announced? Kinda interesting to see Schuster lock heads again with former Barcelona and now Galatasaray coach Frank Rijkaard.

Turkey is along ways away from the eyes of the Portuguese media for Ricardo Quaresma but on the flip side Besiktas could do what Sporting and Porto weren’t able to do and that is pay him pretty close if not the same as he was making at Inter.

Moves like this bug me. It’s a great move for Besiktas but you don’t go from an 18 million dollar player to a 6 million dollar player overnight. Either you are in a wrong team for your style of play or your a head case. Quaresma may be alittle of both but I’d still side with Inter being a team ill suited to his style of football. Another top club should of taken a flyer on Quaresma as this was a classic case of buying low with the ability to sell high down the road.

    Quaresma is a good player, Mourinho is not the coach for him, but he needs to also learn to play some defense and know when it is necessary should I say not necessary to play with ball and constantly kick with the outside of his boot
