A friend of mine once said “don’t be impressed by intelligence: there’s a limit to how smart any single person can be. Now, stupidity is fascinating in its endlessness.” Wesley This morning, Werder Bremen issued a press release on their website (screendump to your right), stating that the transfer of Wesley to Palmeiras was a [...]

Living history
Posted in Administration, Players, tagged badge, luan, symbol, valdir, wesley on February 15, 2012 | 4 Comments »
Less than a week ago, Mr Valdir Joaquim de Morais, one of the most respected living legends of Palmeiras, announced that he will no longer work at the club. The former goalkeeper, at the age of 80, alleged personal motifs for leaving his position as consultant. Mr Valdir was born in Porto Alegre in 1931 [...]
Separating the wheat from the chaff

A short but very to-the-point piece caught my attention a few days back at the 3VV. Written by Alberto Cunio, the text elaborates on the recent and premature exit of the Palmeiras sub-19 team from the São Paulo Cup, the largest Cup for junior players in the country. Yes, Palmeiras were eliminated. Again. This time [...]

Unable to watch the game in its integrity, my comments will be limited to a few, short observations: Valdivia, again, played well and seems at ease. His interview earlier this week also points in that direction. Maikon Leite is a game changer when he comes on. If only his speed could be matched by ability, [...]
Deterioration of the Palmeiras brand

While the signing of Carlos Alberto on Sunday took an unexpected turn, then crashed and burned (officially the player’s salary demands were incompatible with Palmeiras’ offer but it’s widely known that a possible/probable chronic injury was confirmed in his pelvic region) we yesterday had the first glimpses of Daniel Carvalho in Verdão’s training gear (to [...]

Everything shrinks in proportion to Marcos’ announcing his retirement. Still, a few things from the last two weeks that went by are worth noticing. Kassab visits the New Arena São Paulo mayor Gilberto Kassab visited the New Arena construction site in late December together with Palmeiras president Arnaldo Tirone and representatives from the construction firm [...]
Bye bye 2011 – not a minute too early

. 2011 proved bad on the pitch and even worse off it. Spit it out and embrace 2012. Not that the near future’s looking that much brighter, but at least it’s a new year. With new opportunities to make things a little more difficult for those doing their best to drag Palmeiras in the mud. [...]

Transfer market Palmeiras supporters can add one more week of disappointment as not a single player has been officially announced. On the contrary: media report on several frustrated attempts of “nearly there” with the player ending up going to a rival. The day before yesterday, manager of the football department Cesar Sampaio said that Palmeiras [...]

End of the year is all about the transfer market and competition is fierce. Again, Palmeiras seem rather out of the loop, with players leaving but no one entering the squad. Left-winger Gabriel Silva is soon to join former Palmeiras players Danilo and Pablo Armero at Udinese, current top dogs in the Italian championship. The [...]
