Falcao signs autographs.
At his press conference.
With the bosses.
Showing off his new shirt.
I guess he must have thrown his shirt to a fan.

Date: 2011-08-23 12:36 am (UTC)The only what I can say: I mostly hate the transfer windows!
Not all transfers are bad.... Vélez has a new cute boy. I have read Auguste will go to Italy.... Good to have the boy who then can play in the starting eleven!
Can I have a link to the article? The translation is shitty and as always I prefer the original article.

Date: 2011-08-23 02:46 am (UTC)It's not sure now if Augusto will go to Italy but I can imagine because Gareca wanted the Uruguayan boy! As always we have to wait.
Thanks for the link *hugs*

Date: 2011-08-23 10:02 pm (UTC)I have read that Porto might go after Teo! We'll see. :/
I have read about Silva going to Fiorentina and I am still shocked about it. I cannot believe it.
And maybe Augusto will stay...I don't know what to think or believe now. :((((((((

Date: 2011-08-24 10:23 am (UTC)I think Carlos Bacca would be a better fit at Porto than Teo, and that Teo should just stay at Racing. It seems to suit him there.

Date: 2011-08-24 01:24 pm (UTC)I hope Bacca will not play for a team a cannot stand!

Date: 2011-08-24 05:10 pm (UTC)In Portugal, even rival teams do not hate each other! (It's the Portuguese way.) So you can be a card-holding Benfica supporter and yet still be in love with Porto! Or support either Benfica or Sporting and still like the other team! Strange, but true. I tell you, the next time I come there I want to take you over to Lisbon! We can spend a few days there, see some matches, maybe take the train up to Porto! I want that you should have the Portuguese experience!) :)
