Yes, Diego got lost in the shuffle. Everyone forgot about him, but he is fantastic. Diego and Kaká in the midfield in the U20 Championship was an amazing thing to see - oh yeah, Robinho up front!

He is an amazing player. Would love to see him make it to a bigger club like Bremen. Would love it more if he came to HSV though. He is solid in the middle. Great player. Pure quality

never heard of him(not uncommon with Ronnie/Ronaldo/Kaka/Robihno always front and center). perhaps in passing...you guys say he's good eh? Do you guys think he'll get a starting possition at the WC? or will he be a sub?
well the guy led Brazil to their Copa America title he was good I dont know about now he kinda just faded away at Porto

Porto offered Diego to Villarreal a while back, but the team had too many foreign players already. Argh.

Diego was a hit during his first few months in Portugal, but seems to fallen out of favor now. For the price quoted, though, I don't see why anyone wouldn't jump at the opportunity to get him. It's not that much money, especially for a player with his potential.

mambo

23-04-2006, 01:40 PM

Yep thats not that much money and it´s not clear if we will get him for 6mio. The thing is that you wont see Werder Bremen offering like 20million for one player, never ever.
We have other circumstances than i.e. Juventus. They get 150 mio. € TV-money per anno and we get only 30 mio €.
We also dont make heavy financial losses. If you look at the big teams, many of those have a loss of 100mio € in just one year up to 250mio (Chelsea) in raw cases. Other teams even pledged their spectator-incoming (Schalke04, Borussia Dortmund) to Investors like Stephen Schechter. So Schechter gets the spectator-money for the next ten years in change of 100million € at once.

We dont do this kind of business so Werder Bremen is forced to search for good players in small clubs or in difficult situations. Micoud, Ismael, Frings and many others came for none or just small money. We offer those players good sportive opportunities instead!

In example Per Mertesacker from Hannover96 is one of the upcoming young Defenders in Germany. After next Season he is free for 1.5mio but this year H96 demands 7.5mio €. Other teams wouldnt hesitate long and just give the money to H96 but Werder is just waiting until next year. Not because we couldnt pay 7.5mio but to keep the transfers on a descent level.
I think that makes us an exeption in Europe. Its the rational way ;)

23-04-2006, 02:51 PM

spectator income? i didnt know that. so whatever revenue they make from ticket sales and merchandise sales goes to the investor and they give them 100 million euros each year or just once for x amount of years? hmm....
i could understand dortmund cause they were in debt but schalke? please enlighten me

mambo

23-04-2006, 05:23 PM

You get money from Schechter once and from that point on he owns your spectator-seats for 10-30years. I think Dortmund did that before they were close to bankrupt, so thats an extra-burden for them now. They spend the €uros on Amoroso and other adventures (like the BvB-icecream *g*).
Schalke04 did that not long ago, you know they bought Kurani, Bordon, Ailton and many more.
Assauer tried to buildt a top-team with that money (85mio), thats why they are under alot of pressure to reach the Champions League now.

Half a dozen clubs of the premier League used Schechter`s Service, so we´re not the only morons ;-) If you wish more Information try google for "stephen Schechter"

jr!

25-04-2006, 01:56 AM

They ended up NOT using his services if my memory serves me correct
See this quote:"London investment banker Stephen Schechter has already broken off contact with Dortmund, claiming the Borussia management had gone back on their word." I got it from here: http://tinyurl.com/k3bjt
And also this article will tell you who actually DOES own the stadium:
http://tinyurl.com/j46un

Also, they didn't use the €uros on Amoroso, it was transfers like his that caused BVB to be in financial problems in the 1st place.
They spent €25milliion on him (& sure he scored more than a few goals for the team), but a few years after his arrival, they miss the Champions League.
His transfer came a few years before there was speculation about using somebody like Schechter

I Suggest you get your facts straight.

Speaking of Werder, has anybody heard the Metzelder for Valdes trade rumours?
Valdes has already agreed to personal terms with BVB but no transfer fee has been negotiated between the two clubs if you believe the rumours.

mambo

25-04-2006, 10:44 AM

Oh yes you are right! Thx for your attention, i was wrong about time and use of the loan.
They sold the whole Stadium!! to the financial fond "Molsiris" in 2003 for 75mio €. Thats not Schechter but thats about the same kind of business. Looks like the "Commerzbank" offered better conditions than Schechter. ;)
See, ...when i use the term "i think", it doesnt mean "i know" :p
http://www.wdr.de/themen/sport/fussball/borussia_dortmund/westfalenstadion.jhtml

And yes the transerfer rumors, but i think there wont be a transfer or change before WC2006 because both clubs have interest to get the most out of their players and it looks like both players get into the start-formation of their countries.

25-04-2006, 01:02 PM

I don't THINK that Metzelder is going anywhere either before or after the World Cup, he is probably just struggling through some fitness issues, or heck, he's being rested for the World Cup.
I do HOPE that Valdes comes over to BVB, they need somebody who can put the ball in the net & most of the forwards they have cannot do that.

Yeah, I know that the team is planning on buying the stadium back we'll see what comes of that.

Well, i revoke my statement that both players will be in the first formation.

There is a good chance that Nowotny gets Metzelders position.
Nowotny passed the latest fitness test and our team is way too youg with an average age of 22 or whatever.

Personaly i think Metzelder could be a part of the Pokerplay about Mertesacker. However, he would play Champions League in Bremen. Dortmund cant even offer any international matches ...okay friendlies ;)
If he`s horny for the european league he´ll have to leave Dortmund.

jr!

26-04-2006, 01:32 AM

And it sounds like Metzelder is making all the right noises too about the move"the offer is enticing..." etc., but we'll see.
He played the 2nd half on Saturday & apparently performed very well, so he may start the next game, we'll have to see what happens.
We have a young guy named Amedick coming next year from some 2nd division team & just locked up Dede for another 4 years, so we'll see what happens.

Looks like Werder bid 6mio. € for Diego!
I´ve to be honest, i´ve never seen a game with Diego.
What i know that he`s young and plays for the Celecao. That means he`s an outstanding player, otherwise he wouldnt be in the brasilian national-team!

He could get Le Chef`s position soon because Micoud has only 1 or 2 good seasons left.

Diego is defenitively on the market, his father who is also his agent was critical of the coach Co Adrianse for not fitting him into the starting line up on a regular basis and Diego has not been called up since.

He is one of the favourites with the fans, but being a traditional no10 does not fit in with the coaches style of play (usual porto formation is a 3-4-3 or a 3-3-4).

there has been a lot of interest in Diego as he is a quality player having represented the selecao at all junior levels. Porto wont let him go for less then 7 million euros which is what he cost. There have been a number of interested clubs such as werder, deportivo corunha and various other big names. I for one will be sad to se him go. Massive potencial.

Also look for a move by Benny McCarthy to an english PL club over the transfer season.

Schon alles klar mit dem Supertalent Diego?

BREMEN (flü) Spielmacher Diego und Werder Bremen - was läuft da wirklich? Nach einem Bericht des portugiesischen "Jornal Record" soll sich Werder mit dem brasilianischen Supertalent vom FC Porto bereits über einen Fünf-Jahres-Vertrag einig sein. "Die Bedingungen sind definiert und werden jetzt zu Papier gebracht. Diego kann Werder nicht mehr entwischen. Nach komplizierten und harten Verhandlungen haben Werder und Porto eine Lösung gefunden, die beide Seiten zufrieden gestellt hat", schreibt das Blatt. Kolportiert wird eine Ablösesumme von rund sechs Millionen Euro für den 21-Jährigen.

Dass der Coup mit Diego bereits in trockenen Tüchern ist, wollte Werders Sportchef Klaus Allofs gestern allerdings nicht bestätigen: "Dazu muss noch eine Menge Überzeugungsarbeit geleistet werden." Der 49-Jährige räumte aber ein: "Wir interessieren uns für ihn und haben die Rahmenbedingungen auch schon einmal abgeklopft."

Im Einzelnen heißt das: Kann sich das brasilianische Supertalent vom FC Porto vorstellen, in Bremen zu spielen, wie sähe ein Paket im Fall der Fälle aus, wie sind die Vertragsbedingungen in Portugal, wie ist das persönliche Befinden des 21-Jährigen bei seinem Club?

Allofs hat einige Antworten erhalten. "Diego wäre nicht abgeneigt, zu uns zu kommen", sagt der Sportdirektor. Womit eine wichtige Voraussetzung schon mal erfüllt ist. Zudem fühlt sich der Spielmacher in Porto unwohl, hat Streit mit dem Trainergespann und kommt kaum zum Zug. Die Portugiesen haben daher bereits signalisiert, dass Diego trotz eines Vertrages bis 2009 für eine bestimmte Ablösesumme gehen kann. Von daher "wäre es fahrlässig, wenn wir uns nicht um ihn kümmern würden", erklärt Werder-Trainer Thomas Schaaf: "Er ist ein sehr interessanter Mann."

"Normalerweise ist da nichts zu machen, wenn ein Spieler so lange unter Vertrag steht. Trotzdem wollten wir sehen: Wie ist da der Wasserstand, wie die Stimmung, wie die Meinungen?", berichtet Klaus Allofs: "Eine ähnliche Situation hatten wir doch damals bei Johan Micoud auch." Und da der Franzose noch unschlüssig ist, was seine Zukunft angeht, ist Diego als Nachfolger von Micoud für Werder überaus interessant; unabhängig davon, ob der 32-Jährige in diesem oder erst im nächsten Jahr geht. Nach der direkten Qualifikation für die Champions League stünden auch die Mittel zur Verfügung, einen Top-Mann wie Diego langfristig an Werder Bremen zu binden.

what can I say?

It would be great news. Micoud can spend this season teaching Diego how to adjust to our squad, how our system works, and then next season Micoud can head back to France, proud of his loyal service to Werder Bremen :)

Portugese Press reports it is a done deal!

http://www.ojogo.pt/22-86/artigo553532.htm

Diego em Bremen por quatro épocas
O internacional brasileiro vai jogar no Werder Bremen a partir da próxima temporada e o FC Porto recebe sete milhões de euros pelo negócio. "Foi um final feliz para todas as partes", disse a O JOGO Djair Ribas da Cunha, pai e empresário do jogador
PEDRO MARQUES COSTA

Djair ribas da cunha: "Foi um final feliz. Estamos aliviados. Considero que foi um bom negócio para o FC Porto".

"O negócio está feito. Há acordo entre todas as partes e o Diego vai jogar no Werder Bremen durante as próximas quatro temporadas". A revelação foi feita ontem por Djair Ribas da Cunha, empresário do jogador, que colocou, deste modo, um ponto final na atribulada saída do internacional brasileiro do FC Porto. O negócio vai render "sete milhões de euros" aos dragões, anunciou ainda o pai do médio-ofensivo em declarações a O JOGO, ou seja, a verba que a SAD azul e branca teve de pagar há dois anos ao Santos para contratar o internacional brasileiro. No entanto, a primeira proposta dos alemães encontrava-se apenas nos seis milhões de euros. "Felizmente eles subiram a parada e o negócio foi feito. Estamos felizes", afirmou Djair Ribas da Cunha, confirmando, deste modo, a notícia avançada por O JOGO.

Neste momento, falta apenas passar para o papel o acordo verbal existente entre Diego e o Werder Bremen, uma vez que entre os dois clubes está tudo tratado, conforme reconheceu o empresário do jogador. "Vamos assinar amanhã [hoje] um pré-contrato com o Werder Bremen, que se encontra representado na cidade do Porto. Depois, ficam a faltar apenas os habituais exames médico para que a transferência seja definitivamente consumada. No entanto, na prática, já está tudo fechado", afirmou.

Depois de algumas críticas à administração da SAD e a Co Adriaanse pela forma como estavam a gerir o caso de Diego, Djair Ribas da Cunha congratulou-se com o acordo celebrado, fazendo questão de referir que todas as partes ficaram satisfeitas com este desfecho: "Foi um final feliz. Estamos aliviados. Considero que foi um bom negócio para o FC Porto".

Diego deve viajar nos próximos dias para a Alemanha com o objectivo de realizar os necessários exames médicos, apresentando-se de seguida aos adeptos do Werder Bremen. O clube alemão terminou a Bundesliga no segundo lugar, logo atrás do Bayern de Munique, tendo garantido, por isso, o acesso directo à próxima edição da Liga dos Campeões. Sendo assim, Diego até pode reencontrar-se com o FC Porto já na próxima temporada...

yes!!!

i think he is jewel and bayern has done a great deal there but he has to learn even more than diego.
in my opinion, it would be the best for diego to play one season with joe micoud at his side to gain his leading mentality, the diego will be stronger in the season 07/08!

the best opportunity for the ballack-position is santa cruz, he's done a good job in the last games there, unfortunately he has an injury once again, i think

22-05-2006, 12:19 AM

next season should be exciting and i cant wait for it to start. finally some more competition for the title :p santa cruz would be an option but i think podolski is the other option there. it depends on how magath wants to use poldi (assuming he is coming to us this summer of course)

22-05-2006, 02:45 PM

when it wasn't sure that poldi wants to go bayern, i was assuming him as successor for joe micoud, seems like we had the same suggestion, right?

farfan would be great, but i think he is too expensive at the moment. i´m gettin a bit nervous about our transfer activities because we need at least two classy strikers to make it in the championsleague. i guess everything highly depends on the van buyten - bayern move. too bad barbarez left us, it´ll be difficult to replace him properly... but the transfer window is still opened a while and everything can happen.

there is plenty of time to bring in 2 strikers for HSV. Yes it hurt them to loose barbarez but i am sure someone can be found to replace him. just give it time. we have months till the next season starts.

sure you´re right, theres enough time left. first the option on ailton should be pulled - i´m not a fan of him but if he doesn´t stay we would need 3 new strikers.

I don't think Barbarez would be usefull to HSV next season. That's why they let him go easy. I just hope they can bring in some decent forwards and a playmaker. Then Bundesliga will be more interesting.

barbarez was our most valuable striker last season, he scored most goals and gave most assists, although he is 34 years old i´m sure he can play another great season. but he refused to sign for one year and leverkusen surprised everybody by offering him a two-year-contract to better conditions. i still doubt that is was planned to let him go that way, everybody in hamburg predicted that barbarez would finally give in on the hsv-offer because he just belongs to hamburg.

btw: we have decent playmaker named rafael van der vaart, his backup is piotr trochowski

24-05-2006, 03:40 AM

Yes he had a good year, and he did great in his time at AOL arena. But I just don't think HSV board and manager were really trying to keep him. I think they want to build a team that at least goes beyond group stage in CL. And more importantly, qualify to CL AGAIN. They want a team for the future, and I think that's why they let go of players like Beinlich and Barbarez. And to be honest I think Barbarez should have taken the one year deal and ended his career at HSV.

Van der Vaart? I always thought of him as more of a winger. Doesn't really matter since he is a great great player.

someone should start a HSV thread. :D

i never heard that diego talked bad about the fcp...
he even thanked the fans for the warm atmosphere they gave to him and that he didn't leave the club in anger. so i don't know exactly what you're talkin about? please advise me.

A very nice interview with Diego:
http://www.sueddeutsche.de/sport/championsleague/artikel/990/86904/

I hope you speak german :p

edit:
this is the google-translation output, dont take the translation too serious, its pretty funny at some points ...i.e. FC postage instead of FC Porto or material Madrid instead of Real Madrid *g* Just use your imagination :D

“Werder got me, because I am Diego”

Before the play against the FC Barcelona: Bremen of new Spielgestalter over Ronaldinho and the champions League, the German football and its failure with the FC postage.
Of Javier Cáceres

Sp: Senhor Diego, still remember you the Torwart with the wonderful name Danrlei de Deus Hinterholz?

Diego: Yes, surely. Why?

Sp: We remembered him, when we saw on the past weekend with the play in Hamburg the footstep of Mehdi Mahdavikia against it to knees. When they became 2002 with the FC Santos master, Danrlei said Robinho about you and their colleagues at that time, today with material Madrid: , if those continue to play in such a way, someone will come and to them the legs will break. ``

Diego: Correctly! That was after a 3:0 against its crew at that time Gremio postage Alegre. He said at that time with hot head. It felt humiliated, it believed, Robinho and I became the opponents ridiculous. That was appropriate for us really far. And I do not believe also that he means it still.

Sp: One can interpret the remark also as praise.

Diego: No, no. That was already sour. Correctly sourly.

Sp: And like Mahdavikias footstep shows: ahead-suspecting. How is their knee?

Diego: Well, it is thank God everything correct. Were err pain. We examined the hurt place, were not pulled the volumes in. Luck had.

Sp: On Wednesday you will be able to play against the FC Barcelona in the champions League?

Diego: I think.

Sp: What causes the name FC Barcelona in you?

Diego: For me Barça to time is the perhaps best crew of the world. Very well organizes, tactically very well co-ordinated. Each soccer player trachtet after such plays, after such large stages. The echo of such portions is simply enormous.

Sp: Is there a player, whom you particularly admire with the FC Barcelona?

Diego: Ronaldinho. I learned it to know at the Brazilian national team. A great person, an unusual player. It serves all as example, also me. I am only 21. I often look at it me, he play with the FC Barcelona nearly on the same position as I with Werder. Only somewhat further to the left preferred.

Sp: How does Werder have to concern the play against Barcelona from its view?

Diego: We must pay attention enormously to the details, because we play against players, who use each chance. We must put a very large concentration to the day, no areas offer - and even the gate to search. With courage and respect. Barcelona is a good crew. But that are we also.

Sp: Are you someone, which looks much football on the television?

Diego: Yes. Very much. Always already.

Sp: What was noticeable to you, if you saw plays from the federal league?

Diego: The balance. That there were always five, six crews, which have the ambition and the ability, around which titles played. The outstanding stages, the many fans. Which play, the stages are all the same always fully.

Sp: And fussballerisch?

Diego: It varies much from coach to coach, but altogether the German football pleases me. This direct, not so much play aligned to long balls. It is many faster a fast football, than in Brazil.

Sp: Werder is very well started into the season, you personally likewise. Afterwards there were four defeats and, call we it: plentifully noise. Over it and around the crew.

Diego: Defeats have the confidence of the surrounding field shrunk always, by the press, by the fans. That is normal. It concerns to turn the causes off: Inadvertence as for example from the play against Stuttgart. We are about to examine everything and what is to be improved to improve. The whole crew is responsible for it.

Sp: There was also plentifully Polemik, complaints of fellow players, who reproached to you, you the ball to for a long time would lead. A mark released Torsten Frings even at the place.

Diego: I hold for completely normal. And not everything which in the newspapers confessed, was correctly. Of Miroslav Klose and Torsten Frings…

Sp: … two players, by whom you were criticized…

Diego: … received I even very much assistance. It will always give discussions. At the place is no time, in order to say request and thanks.

Sp: How much it apply does that you do not separate from the ball?

Diego: I am a player, who is permanent in contact with the ball and must be. But not from self purpose, but due to the position. I stand between attack and defense, and that means that I also demand the balls. Much is simply only because of the tuning: To understand, where the Stürmer go, stop needs something time.

Sp: Does a role play during the debates around you that Frings, Klose or also Tim Borowski had with the WM in a system success, which stresses the individuality less? That these players perhaps also for another player types to open must?

Diego: I do not believe. The basis of the crew with Werder was not changed. I know that I mean adjustment still faster manage must. And I am ready for everything, in order to have with the crew success. My crew comrades by the way also. I am now for five years professional, and if I learned one, then this: If a crew does not win, nobody stands well there.

Sp: Did you regard once a video with becoming he plays with Johan Micoud?

Diego: No. That would have also no sense. I am simply different. Werder fetched me here, because I am Diego. And to be is.

Sp: They came from the FC postage, where you had problems and no more did not play last. What did it lie?

Diego: One never gave me a conclusive explanation. In my first year I played always, before beginning of the second season called me the coach (the CO Adriaanse dismissed now) to itself, said to me, what outstanding player I am that I correspond to its expectations, but that he would change the system. Instead of in 4-3-3 it would want to let play now in 3-4-3, in which it do not need a number 10.

Sp: And that was' s?

Diego: Afterwards I was not no more appointed. All this surprised me very much. I had made no Scherereien. Some say that I was punished for an interview, in which my father said, I want postage to leave. But it said only, after I had been segregated.

Sp: They are in the age of eleven years from at home away, in order to go into a boarding school of the FC Santos. When did you decide for itself to understand football as work?

Diego: Actually only with 16. As I mean first professional contract with Santos signed. But football was always above all a pleasure: to go on a place to step against the ball to make a trick - satisfaction provides for me. Joy. Football as work, has to do with responsibility; with the responsibility to correspond to expectations of all. I believe, if one is, where - we say times - Ronaldo or Zidane are, it unumwundener fun will become.

Sp: Who says FC Santos, Pelé says.

Diego: No matter, which says Pelé, it has enormous influence. And both over me and over Robinho he spoke always well. That helped us enormously. Us it has humility preached to be industrious because he saw the Potenzial with us to bring it far.

Diego is taking advantage of the offensive playmaking by the team and the team takes advantage of his magic passing. We scored the most goals so far and Diego played his part in the wins, but also in the draws & losses.
Without inujries coming along, he might be on the way to the player of the season.

From what I've seen of Bremen, Diego is getting fouled a lot. I hope he's strong enough to last take the beatings.
