Thats not what I want to hear Sporting lol.
I just hope he is crap for Chelsea
Quaresma has never impressed me when I have seen him play. He plays like Ronaldo
did when he was 17/18. Thats his problem. He never developed and improved.
He is a year older than Ronaldo right? Just seems to have little end product (bit like Nani really)
what do you think of Quaresma?
Well, now, with him closer, you'll get to see more of him, so you guys can tell if he's all smoke and no fire, or if he does have the goods.
What do I think of him...
well 1st, I know for a fact that he's 100% Sporting fan. That, at least, earns him a special place

I know he hanged around with Juve Leo, one of our organized supporter groups.
2nd, he's got gipsy blood. He's hot tempered. In fact, at some times, he's downright mean and vindictive, although you seldom see that side of him.
3rd, he's got the skills. I think that, a bit like simão (and, dare i say it, Nani), he left too soon. Like simão, he didn't deliver what was expected of him, so after one year, they let him go, just like simão. I kinda think that they were after a new Figo, but Figo left Sporting at 22 or 23, simão and quaresma left at like 19, 20. There's a difference in the level of maturity, which they then got in benfica and porto, so now, they're off again, and let's see if there's time for them to prove themselves. simão is doing ok in atletico madrid, quaresma...
So in part I agree, while ronaldo had a lot of potential even at 17, his 1st year in the senior squad, we've seen that often, around these parts

. To me, it's a question of mental and personal progress, not just professional. In fact, I'd say that the failed experiments in Barça we're quite possibly due to their young age, in a very big club, in a very big city. Manchester, on the other hand, is cold, dark, in comparison to Barcelona and pretty much all the Iberian peninsula, so, no beaches to stalk girls, no amazing night life, with scantly dressed spanish chicks dying to make it with a football player, etc. etc.
