Thank you Sandro Raniere

[Samson]

If anyone one has any inside info or knowledge on this please let us know, because this seems very weird to me.

Benitez stated that we were asking for too much money for Sandro (here) and then we sell him to a club in the same league for (Allegedly) only £6M. If I remember correctly, Benitez was trying to haggle from £12M+ to £8M.

Leads me to believe that either:

a)Levy attempted to play hardball, failed, and sold on the cheap at the last moment.

b)Medical failed at Napoli, we know of serious injury and sold to the only club that buys players on a whim without basic due dilligence (QPR/Redknapp; for case study see Christopher Samba/Joey Barton/Adel Taarabt/Oh my god this list could go on forever)

c)The true deal is a lot more than £6M, and is actually "Levied up" with clauses, we will either get more money based on personal or team performances, or we have a cheap buy back deal that effectively makes it a loan, so if Sandro picks up his form and fitness we can get him back at little extra cost.

If anyone has any info or ITK on this please let me know, the only other alternative is that Sandro refused champions league to play for QPR, which is quite frankly ridiculous.;

Or Napoli have no money.

• Of the 100 or so games he played for us, he'd been named MOTM by SC around 20 times, that is a better ratio than any other player who has played for us over the last 5 years including the likes of Bale, Modric and VDV. Given that he was having standout performances in a side that had far more talented individuals than him (or than we have now) speaks volumes to the actual level of his performances.

Not sure I would use that as a measurement,again he has been a fan favourite,just look at how many people voted for Lamela on Sunday.The kids just love him.
I can gaurantee you that he will get plenty more MOTM awards here for no apparent reason.

As for Sandro.....he was absolutely brilliant the first season here and if he had continued in that vein,I have no doubt he would have been one of the first names in the Brazil team and our most important player.
However,injuries have taken their toll and unfortunately he has been a liability for quite a while.

Players come and go. What we need to stop doing is having managers/coaches coming and going all the time. Good luck to Sandro. Looked like he'd stick only a little while back. Now the talk of Inter and Juve and the likes seems a distant memory. Weird how it works out sometimes.

Hopefully the age of individuals at this club is coming to an end and we can get ourselves a team established over the next few yrs.

Or, more likely, we'll be searching for a new HC in under 2 yrs from now.

Farewell, Beast.

No he wasn't. Other than the Milan gave her is was bang average first season. His 3rd was bay far his best for us.

Just don't get the love for Sandro. Can't say I'm sorry to see him gone.

Nebbbbyyyyyy come onnn

 

[Nebby]

Nebbbbyyyyyy come onnn

The fact he is now playing for the mighty QPR speaks volumes. An incredibly average player who seemed to gain massive popularity by being a bit of a character off the pitch. Won't be missed.

 

[Nebby]

This feels worse than when vdv left

Seriously? That's like comparing King with Vega!

Come again?

Had he not had knees as bad as Ledley he'd still be in our XI today IMO.

And Kaboul may well have been partnering Toby on Saturday had it not been for injury

Both players were fantastic when fully fit

 

[rambu]

Best of luck Sandro

Sadly for Kaboul he lacked the composure to go with the technical skills and strength. He really could of been one of the best if he had it together mentally. Very good on the ball, quick, strong and a good leap but prone to brain farts.

he could easily have been just as good as wanyama under poch, too bad we will never know.
i'll never forget sandros goals against chelsea and united both absolute screamers, and his heroics in the champions league.
