Sporting
Liedson entre os melhores avançados do Mundo
Liedson foi eleito pela Federação Internacional de História e Estatística do Futebol (IFFHS) como o nono melhor avançado do Mundo, no ano de 2005

O avançado brasileiro do Sporting surge na nona posição, numa lista encabeçada pelo seu compatriota Clémerson de Araújo Soares, que representa o Gamba Osaka, e à frente de nomes como Thierry Henry, Samuel Etoo ou Ronaldo.

Liedson surge ainda na lista dos avançados mais eficazes de 2005, ocupando igualmente o nono posto.

Liedson is Fast man Good player Best Player on Sporting lol.
Opinion's

25 goals in the Portuguese league along with a second place finishing in uefa's scoring list. I think this is well deserved if not under rating him just a bit.

Liedson is a easy scoring fast player, he proved that but I dont read portuguese but I saw the names of Eto'o, Ronaldo, Henry is he being compared to them or so?
If so that wouldnt be fair they are in a totally other level of playing...

Liedson is by far one of the best players in the world. His finishing, quickness and fearless to play anywhere in the world, Middlesbrough, AZ, Feyenoord he's done it all. He is soooo underated its unbelievable. 25 goals in his first season along with 8/9 goals in Uefa Cup, its so sad to see a talent like him not in the Champions League, Sporting are much better than those rubbish defensive Udinese they were so unlucky not to beat them. They would be much more threatening to Barca in the Champs.League.

Have u seen his heading attributes for a small guy. Absolutley amazing

Deivid is also amazing.

Liedson imo is decent. Do I want him in Porto? Personally no I wouldn't. don't like his style of play.

As for Devid being "amazing" is way over doing it, he's far from amazing, he's far from even being good.

I would love Liedson at Porto.

Thanks for the support, hopefully next year SCP can make it to the CL. But we still have half a season to go, hopefully we get better, and we will have to if we want to reach the CL.

Liedson is a very good player last season he was top notch, he seems to be starting to come into gear this season in recent matches as well. LIEDSON RESOLVE

^^^^^
Liedson Best Player...I Think hes better then Quaresma Liedson will get top spt in goals soon youll see it lol soon it will be Liedson resolve.

LOL WHAT A JOKE... Liedson -> forward

Ricardo -> winger

and omg who has got the most skills?! RICARDO!!! STFU!! omg

You can't compare Liedson and Quaresmas positions.

Sporting needs him, and its good to see him re-affirm his position with the club.

The way he is going to, he may just as well win the scoring race again this year.

Liedson is a quality scorer in my opinion

Bull, once he gets an good offer he'll leave. He was close to leaving already a couple times.

Bull............. yeah just like Lucho Gonzalez will stay at Porto forever

yeah I like it that Liedson said that, but I dont believe it- just hope he stays for now Sporting without Liedson right now = complete disaster

if Sporting didnt have Liedson they would probably be 10 points worse then they are now

Sporting Clube de Portugal striker Liedson has signed a new contract, committing his future to the Portuguese title chasers until the summer of 2010.

Liedson delight
Liedson has scored 52 goals in 81 Liga games for the Lisbon club – including 12 in 20 so far this season. Originally tied to Sporting until June this year, he was delighted to agree the new deal. "I am very happy – Sporting mean everything to me, they have opened so many doors for me," said the 28-year-old Brazilian, who joined Sporting from SC Corinthians Paulista in 2003.

uefa.com

This made my day, yesterday when i got home. 8.5m over 4 years is well deserved. He was working in a grocery store at the age of 22, 5 years later he was playing in Uefa cup final. How things change.

While it was a good move renewing his contract I'm not sure if it was that wise staying with Liedson on a such high salary until he is 32.

8.5 million in four seasons wow . I'm not sure but if he is not the highest payed player in Portugal he must be pretty close.

Sporting Lisbon have been handed a massive boost with the news that prolific striker Liedson has signed a new contract to remain with the Portuguese giants.

The quick-footed Brazilian had been involved in lengthy discussions over his future, but he has finally quelled Sporting fans' worries by signing a new deal that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2009/10 season.

The 28-year-old expressed his delight at the new deal, and has huge ambitions for the Lisbon club.

"I'm extremely happy," the free-scoring Brazilian said.

"I always expressed my wish to renew my contract with Sporting and I'd like to thank Sporting and the club president for the faith they've shown in me.

"Now I want to continue to work hard, like I have done since I arrived on the first day in 2003.

"I want to repay the faith and confidence shown in me with goals and titles.

"I want titles, titles and more titles."

The deal will be seen as a significant coup for Sporting, tying down one of the hottest talents in the Portuguese top-flight.

With Liedson's initial contract due to expire at the end of the season, speculation of a move to a host of clubs had continued for several months.

There was speculation at one point that he may even join bitter city rivals Benfica; a claim which the striker dismissed outright.

"There is no way that I could ever play in another shirt that wasn't Sporting's in Portugal," he added.

Liedson was top scorer in last season's Super Liga with 25 goals, and he has netted 12 so far this campaign.

Great move, Keeping Liedson will be great for Sporting
he is a great player
He will be top scorer again this season no doubt
already has 12 in the bag.

That is quite the salary. Really am surprise that he extended his contract because i really thought he was gonna decide to leave after this season except dedicating himself

I only saw him a few times. I lived in a country that do not boardcast Portugese soccer. I am confused with his style. Is he an attacking midfielder or striker? He seemed to play behind the main striker, right?

Pretty much the best striker in the league. He's good in the air, always a constant threat.

The thing that really annoys me is that he's a baby. He dives so much. Sometimes he tends to miss the easiest of chances, but still he is the best striker, and will most likely get the most goals in Portugal this season.

Another thing about him is that, he sucks at penalties lol. But overall a good striker.

Best striker in Portugal by far

strong in the air and has good ball control and is a great finisher. also plays for the best team

he went through a rough patch this season sorting out contract issues
but hes back and ready to score goals he also has the tendency to rise to the occasion in most of the big games.

? Liedson doesn't play for Porto.

Well, is he a front man or the withdrawn striker type? He seemed to be both.

Haha
Liedson is a very dangerous striker. He deserves to play with the BIG TEAMS.

no guys you have to addmit sporting is a BIG TEAM.
but we are the best team in the league NOW A DAYS.

I'm not saying sporting is a small team, There are huge teams out there that are striving for strikers like liverpool for instance.

I would rate Liedson 9/10 just because he needs to hit the gym, he is too skinny in my opinion. Either than that he is a world class player, he can shoot well, score from headers, he has good technical ability and has great timing. He is an excellent striker.

There was about 5 Liedson topics on this page, so I merged them into one Liedson thread

SCP Guy, you will be happy now.

What is everyone thinking of Liedson so far this season? I think the season you made UEFA Cup final was his best

Thanks Paixão

He has been fair this year.... has not scored as many goals in the league as I would like but he has scored a few in the CL which is nice to see him playing well on the "big stage". He is the only striker I can think of that commits 10X more fouls then he draws

I think it is kind of funny I never really hear to much noise about teams looking to buy Liedson after all the success he has had in Portugal over the last few years. I hear Sporting throw around numbers like 20 million Euros for his rights that may scare away teams as a 30 year old striker only has a few years left of soccer and has no resale value..... I would be very happy to see him play in the green and white for a few more years

I don't think he will be leaving either. At 30, no team will pay that money for him

Agree....we will keep him for a few more years until he slows down then he will go finish his career in Brazil IMO

Liedson suffered a knee injury when he scored the 3rd goal in the SCP win over Dinamo.... He was taken off the field on a stretcher late in the game and did not come back into the game. His knee was wrapped and he was taken straight to the locker room.... It is feared the injury may be serious....

If Liedson is seriously injured it'll completely ruin the 3-0 victory for us. It was a meaningless game anyhow and to have him get injured in it...

Im just praying it is not serious and he will be back in action very soon

Just listened to an interview with Gomes Pereira the SCP team doctor... and he said after his examination the knee seems stable and he does not suspect any ligament damage. He said Liedson is still experiencing pain in the knee and he will be re-examined tomorrow.....

I guess time will tell maybe an MRI tomorrow will clear up any question around the knee injury

Topic Merged.

This is very bad news for Sporting. Why would you play your best striker in a meaningless CL game?

No such thing as a meaningless CL game...big money on the line for a win (600,000 Euros)
Plus he was sat last game

What other strikers could they play?

Oh yeah, I forgot it was Sporting involved here. 600,000 Euros means the world to them

A team with such quality youth academies should be able to field a team of kids

Thanks for adding nothing to this topic other then dumb comments.....

Looks like Levzinho may be out this week vs Maritimo..... but the news on the severity of the injury continues to be positive!

He did manage to play the entire game vs Maritimo (he is a tough little bugger) He was not at 100% as his level of activity around the field was down a notch ... but he was still better then any other option SCP had

Happy Birthday to Liedson

He is getting old now

Any news on him and his apparent Portuguese citizenship?

Yup the BIG 3 0 .....

I have not gotten wind of any news with his regards to Portuguese citizenship

Apparently some Spanish interest in Liedson. He is currently unhappy at Sporting, would be a massive blow if he was to leave

With the way he's playing, I wouldn't call it a MASSIVE blow lol.
