FORZA STEAUA

 

[theo]

hey what do you think about our transfers so far?

 

[RuiCosta_10]

Tiago Gomes is really good, i like him a lot, great signing for you guys.

 

[Tosiek]

He was one year at Zagłębie Lubin and I have to admit that he's quite slow.

 

[$teauA]

How is he at simply just taking the ball and playing it through midfield to the forwards? From what I understand that's pretty much his game.

 

[$teauA]

hey what do you think about our transfers so far?

I really like the additions of Tiago, Székely, Stancu and the new Brazilian giant we just got Arthuro (you just know he's gonna be good for 15-20 goals this season) but why even bother bringing in Ionescu and Neagoe? It's not like they're gonna get any time. I'm also really excited that Ochirosii is back . It should be an exciting season which will end up with us lifting a trophy at the end if Becali doesn't go bezerk again and decide to fire the coach three different times....

If Laca stays on for the whole season we WILL win something, I guarantee that.

PS: I wish we could of kept Pepe Moreno but it looks less and less likely now

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Stancu is awesome. At least, he is in my FM game.

 

[$teauA]

Stancu is awesome. At least, he is in my FM game.

Yeah he's a beast in FM, I'm hoping that will transpire into reality this season.

 

[$teauA]

Possible opponents in the 3rd qualifying round for CL

Atletico Madrid (Spania)

Sparta Praga (Cehia)

Dinamo Kiev (Ucraina)

Slavia Praga (Cehia)

Galatasaray (Turcia)

Partizan Belgrad (Serbia)

Vitoria Guimaraes (Portugalia)

Dinamo Zagreb (Croaţia)

Wisla Cracovia (Polonia)

Standard Liege (Belgia)

FC Twente (Olanda)

Artmedia Bratislava (Slovacia)

AaB Aalborg (Danemarca)

Brann Bergen (Norvegia)

Rapid Viena (Austria)


That's not a gimme list right there, we gotta get our s*it together or we might miss out on the groups this season.

 

[theo]

He was one year at Zagłębie Lubin and I have to admit that he's quite slow.

that's a different guy, a defender, whilist this Tiago Gomes is an attacking midfielder. he's only played in Portugal so far.


so can you give us more info on him Rui?

 

[Tosiek]

that's a different guy, a defender, whilist this Tiago Gomes is an attacking midfielder. he's only played in Portugal so far.

My bad. There are so many Tiagos nowadays...

 

[theo]

Dica will most likely get sold this weekend to Catania for 2mil.

 

[$teauA]

Dica will most likely get sold this weekend to Catania for 2mil.

I think it's time for him to go but now that I think about Steaua without him I'm gonna miss him

95 appearances and 45 goals in Liga 1 at a club like Steaua is a hell of an accomplishment.

 

[RuiCosta_10]

Well, about Tiago he has a pretty good technique, passing and receiving is really good and he has a good vision. He is a typical box-to-box player in my opinion, since his main abilities are attacking but he also helps the team a lot because of his spirit, he runs a lot and is pretty much a team player that can make the difference sometimes.

Well, that's my opinion though, whenever I saw him playing I always liked him a lot, and I actually wanted him to come to Benfica, maybe not to be a starter but he could be a really good back up, most of people don't agree with me, but hey, only time will tell who's right.

He's still young so he can become a lot better.

Btw, he started playing on Benfica youths, and his idol and reference is Rui Costa, as most of the players of his generation playing in that position.

Good luck to him and to Steaua, I will definitely be paying more attention to you guys.

PS: The other Tiago Gomes, the left back, he is definitely not slow, he can be everything but slow. He still belongs to Benfica btw, but I don't like him as a player.

Cya!

 

[theo]

thanks a lot man, hopefully he adapts well and we get to keep him after the loan.

 

[4ndr3i]

I wish you guys the " best of luck " in next season

 

[Fallen]

Why did we let Mendoza go?
He had incredible crosses. he was one of our top guys this season

Becali is an idiot... but hmm, this statement is already known by everybody here...

 

[theo]

http://gsp.ro/stire/tiago-i-a-incintat-pe-stelisti-va-fi-titular-din-primul-meci-84733.html


he looks really promising, and we just have to pay 700k to get him at the end of the loan period.

 

[Pizarro14]

WTF? Mendoza left? gawd damn it was it his temper or his attitude on the field? I could of swore that he was doing well for Steaua.....confused lol



Best of luck this season.

 

[yoyo913]

I noticed that happens with foreigners... I think it may be money or an already arranged deal (only play 1 year).
