BLUEDIGNITY 33,723 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 "If Smith cannot get enough cash together to go for Tonel he is likely to hold on to McCulloch even though Premiership outfit Stoke remain serious about taking the 30-year-old south in January." Why is Smith so against cutting his losses with this dud? erm? Perhaps because he actually DID perform well at CB, therefore, cover just a thought My view as well, one question though, is he a defender or midfielder, paper saying defender, BBC gossip column is saying he is a midfielder? Again though I think the paper is blowing some things out of proportion or adding 2+2 and making 5 seeing that Walter had already been told he has to get rid of a few players anyway. haha, i think thats the problem, based on evidence and performances, he is a defender. Kind of reminds me of that guy at school, who always wanted to play up front for the glory, but, was pish at it! Isnt Lees fault he has been played out of position his entire career Wattie always signs guys like this, nobody has a fcukin clue where they play, then those famous words come out 'he can be pushed forward in the midfield.' Players who can play in Wattie's grey area ! Thats why Smith adapted so well to the Scotland job Yes I think you are right there. He made the best of what was available, got them to do a job for him even out of position. Works at national level but not at Club where you can't get away with playing players out of position week to week, they get found out in jig time !

Muff 245 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I rate Tonel, I think he's better than Anderson Polga and Bougherra but I still reckon he'll be on his way to Real Betis. Get McCulloch and Adam in that list and get them away to fcuk! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,750 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Smith is a huge admirer of the 28-year-old centre-half who first caught his eye last season playing against Rangers for Sporting Lisbon on the Ibrox side's march to the UEFA Cup Final in Manchester. Sounds familiar ... will we get lucky again? Dailly, Mcculloch, Adam, Hemdani, Gow and Webster, theres our 6? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has lost it, he really has.... Well you must remember a lot of it is just paper talk, we don't actually know if Beasley or Burke are on their way out of the door, I would expect JCD, Hemdani, Dailly, Smith (reserve goalie), possibly McCulloch if we were to get Tonel and Webster to be likely candidates, Gow is also still officially on our books so he is another who I can see being allowed to leave. All this talk about us signing Webster, I don't think we actually had a choice in the end, just my theory, but now he could be sold. I'm also a bit wary of us managing to hold onto Bougherra, especially if Marseilles, who I think was linked with him, are still in Europe after Xmas, there is also the fear that Redknapp has been rumoured to be making an offer for Mendes, one which will be too much for us to refuse, even though I would hope that for the sake of any chance of winning the league Walter is totally resistant to letting him go, but SDM might not give him the option. Regarding Bougherra though, if we did lose him then McCulloch would remain! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get lucky again but only if we push him into the midfield like the rest of them, 2 crocks, 2 diddy's, 1 missing, possibly in the french foreign legion and 1 who is probably in the central club Blackpool pissed as a fart with the most potential of all ? !

Someone on another forum asked his Portuguese mate about Tonel and was told he was worth 3 quid, not 3 million. Tonal went for around a quarter of a million in his last transfer when he was 25 years old. Can't see how he'd be any better or worth 6 times more in the intervening couple of years.

IPA: [tu'nɛɫ]), is a Portuguese football player, who plays as a central defender for Portuguese giants Sporting Clube de Portugal. Contents [hide] 1 Club career 2 International career 3 References 4 External links [edit] Club career Coming through the youth teams of FC Porto, Tonel made his professional debut when he was loaned out to Académica de Coimbra during the 2000-01 season. Despite earning a good reputation for himself during the three-season loan spell, he was deemed surplus to requirements by his parent club and was released. He moved to C.S. MarÃtimo during the summer of 2004, as part of an exchange deal between MarÃtimo and Porto which saw Pepe arrive at the Estádio do Dragão. Tonel enjoyed a hugely successful season for the Madeira team, picking up some European experience during the club's UEFA Cup contest against Glasgow Rangers. He formed a fomidable partnership with Dutch Mitchell van der Gaag in defence and became one of the team's leading figures, playing 28 league games and scoring once, on September 25, 2004, in a 2-1 home win over Boavista F.C.. After an impressive season, Tonel signed a three-year deal with Sporting Clube de Portugal for €500,000, on July 2005.[1]The bad luck that accompanied him while at Porto did not rear its head the second time, as Tonel was an everpresent figure at Sporting's back four since his arrival, alongside Brazilian international Anderson Polga, scoring the occasional goal on set pieces. [edit] International career In a November 15, 2006, Euro 2008 qualifier against Kazakhstan in Coimbra, Tonel debuted with Portugal, playing 77 minutes in a 3-0 win.

Tonal went for around a quarter of a million in his last transfer when he was 25 years old. Can't see how he'd be any better or worth 6 times more in the intervening couple of years. Just because he's Portugese it doesn't gaurantee that he knows a great deal about him. I'm British but I couldn't tell you everything about every British footballer could I? I love this "my Portuguese mate says that...." response almost as much as when you are linked with a player from a country i.e Spain and you already have one on your books and people say "oh player X could have a word with him" As for Tonel, I know he's decent with the ball at his feet, but his real strength comes from the fact that he's a lot more rugged and almost British-like in the way that he defends. I imagine the section of Portugese fans who don't rate him don't rate him on the basis that he simply isn't enough of a footballer for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
