Does anyone know if this guy is good? I havent seen him play and apparently he is from Portugal.

He is attracting alot of interest to.

Heres the story

You don't know Caneira? He is a regular player at the national team

BTW he is much closer to Porto than to Sporting..

I think hes just an average player. Nothing out of this world imo.

ive never seen him play for the national team though??

Marco Caneira, dammit, I wanted him at Porto

Me too, I believe he will come to us although there is a bunch of Sporting news atm...

Another player that I wanted Benfica just fucking signed him... (not Manduca btw)

record is (again) making some "quases", this time now for sporting. omg theyr saying that he is imminient at alvalade.. that means he almost signed. but the officials didnt even met until now. lol!

cmon joking me right? which player would go to sporting at this time...

well porto would welcome him.

It's a scary thought when someone who runs a website about news has never heard or seen Marco Caneira...

I guess you didn't see Portugal vs. Slovakia or vs. Estonia either.

ya i know, but i never got the chance to watch those games

Sporting garante Caneira até final da época

Está fechado o acordo entre Sporting e Valência com vista ao empréstimo de Caneira ao clube de Alvalade até final da época.

Os dois clubes acordaram os termos da cedência do defesa-central ao final do dia desta quarta-feira e Paulo Bento tem então a garantia que vai poder contar com Caneira para os últimos cinco meses da época.

Formado no Sporting Caneira vai voltar a vestir a camisola dos «leões» por empréstimo, sendo que o clube leonino não terá direito de opção de compra do passe do internacional A no final da época, já que esta foi a condição imposta pelo presidente do Valência para ceder o jogador.

O Maisfutebol sabe que Caneira vai viajar, como previsto, para Valência esta quinta-feira para assinar a documentação necessária no clube espanhol, que lhe permitirá depois rubricar contrato com os «leões», tendo previsto para sábado o início dos trabalhos com o plantel às ordens de Paulo Bento.

Depois de ter rescindido contrato com o Sporting nos primeiros anos de sénior, Caneira está agora de regresso a Alvalade e concretizou o desejo expresso ao Maisfutebol, ao início da tarde, de voltar a jogar em Portugal.

Ah.. damn. I think we'll still get Meira though...

Meira's leaving? I doubt Giovanni will let him, has there even been talks of him leaving?

Meira won't leave...

WTF NO!

Yup, there has been constant rumours since Porto's defensive problems started.. especially over the last Summer where he was really close on joining us.

I'm not sure if we will get him now, but I do believe he is going to end up in Porto very soon.

Welcome home Canaeira nice to see one of our own coming back instead of going to the other 2 teams.

Good signing, Caneira will be a good addition to the Sporting back- line.

Hey wats going on? I heard that the deal has broken down.

i've just posted a story on my site that says that a team missed out, cause the signing was made official today. check it out.

http://www.pfutebol.com/news/No%20St%20Eti...d%20Caneira.htm

You might not want to fully post that though. They are saying that Valencia cancelled the deal and that Caneira is happy in Spain.

it says this though

"French outfit AS Saint-Etienne have missed out on the signature of Valencia defender Marco Caneira, after his return to former side Sporting Lisbon was officially announced today."

That doesn't really mean anything to what I said. I'm saying that he might not even go to Sporting.

Caneira diz sentir-se bem no Valência

A transferência de Marco Caneira para o Sporting, por empréstimo até final da época, poderá não se concretizar. O defesa treinou-se hoje no Valência, diz sentir-se bem no clube espanhol e aguarda a decisão do técnico Quique Flores.

O ingresso de Marco Caneira no plantel leonino parece comprometido, a avaliar pelos últimos acontecimentos. Depois de ontem ter admitido o empréstimo até final da época, o defesa português treinou-se hoje normalmente e no final da sessão, em declarações aos jornalitas, verificou-se uma inflexão no seu discurso: «Quero saber o que pensam o treinador e o presidente. Sinto-me bem no Valência e o meu desejo não é sair, mas sim jogar com mais regularidade.»

Face à recente lesão de Ayala, é bem provável que o técnico do Valência opte por não dispensar Marco Caneira, cujo desejo é jogar com mais regularidade, naturalmente a pensar no Mundial-2006.

Bahaha, now I could really see him coming to Porto

damnit now he may not come at all!!!!?!?

this really sucks.
Now I know how all the Benfica fans felt like when Maxi Lopez, Tomasson, Robinho were supposed to come.

sucks, he would be good at SCP but we would of had to give him away at the end of the season anyways...so I guess it isn't that bad but he could of helped our defence and improve our chances at winning some trophies this season.

He choose Sporting over Valencia today.

doesnt matter if he choose Sporting the question is will Valencia want to sell him or even loan him out

Bingo^VD is right
...
Im still hoping that Porto go after him.

The clubs already made an agreement for the 6-month loan. All that was left was Caneira's acceptance.

Unless Valencia decide to back-out.

Still no agreement but he did get the chance to train with them yesterday.

Caneira heads home to Sporting
Tuesday, 3 January 2006
e-mailPrint

Valencia CF have loaned Portugal defender Marco Caneira to Sporting Clube de Portugal until the end of the season.

Much travelled
The 26-year-old began his career with Sporting and, aside from his spell in Spain, has also played in Italy and France, with Reggina Calcio and FC Girondins de Bordeaux respectively. No contract details have been disclosed but it is known that Sporting have no option to sign the player on a permanent basis.

World Cup hope
Caneira played just five times in the Primera División this season but has continued to feature regularly for his country. He will hope the return to the Portuguese Liga will boost his chances of a place in Portugal's FIFA World Cup squad. He moved to Valencia prior to the 2004/05 season and has made a total of 27 appearances for the club.

dude is there anyway I could help with your site? Sewiously?!

once it goes on uefa.com you kno its official, so looks like Caneira will help SCP out for the rest of the season.

sure, anyone can help with my site

I heard something about Caneira wanting to come back to Sporting. Apparently they can't offer him enough money . Anyone here about this?

He has always said he wanted to stay at Sporting (I can't blame him )..... But number 1 we are not going to pay Valencia what they paid for him, and number two we are not going to pay him the same salary Valencia pays him..... just basic economics even middle tier Spanish teams have way more money to pay their players then top Portuguese teams.....
