Danilo

Botafogo came very close to losing midfielder Danilo and attacking midfielder Montoro to Nottingham Forest today.The deal would have been closed for about 35 million euros (R$ 217 million). However, Botafogo still owes Nottingham Forest for Danilo. After deducting that debt and subtracting other costs like taxes and agents' commissions, the Alvinegro would be left with just €8 million (R$ 50 million) and would lose both players.The negotiation only didn't happen because Botafogo's fan association managed to secure a court decision today that blocks sales by the SAF.John Textor was handling these sales of Danilo and Montoro with Evangelos Marinakis, owner of Nottingham Forest.
That is f***ing wild, what does Marinakis have on Textor?
I'd be bang up for Danilo coming back though!

Danilo sure looks diffferent than the last time i saw him, full Ronaldinho grown out.
 
That’s a proper Barnet, that.
 
How's he been getting on over there since leaving us?
Had a quick look at the stats sites (Fotmob, sofascore, whoscored etc) and he doesn't feature very high up, if at all, for the season just gone.

Started this season well though, bagged a couple of goals in the first game yesterday
 
Pleased for the guy but absolutely hammers home the point that selling him for a pittance and then paying Edus future son in law a fortune to effectively perform better off the pitch than on it is pretty disgraceful. I'm not sure if Textor has even paid us what he owes us either which obviously is the crappy cherry on the crappy cake.
 
So we couldnt force him to sign a contract we never offered. Got it.
Are you being stupid or just awkward? He made it clear that he wouldn't sign a new contract as he wanted to go somewhere with a better chance of first team football. So, on the basis that you can't force a player to sign a contract there was no point in offering him one.

I don't see what choice the club had. BTW, the shit show this season is not a result of not signing up Harry Toffolo.
