“When I first came over to sign, all I wanted to do was to get started here with Spurs as quickly as possible,” said new boy Sandro… “It is a pleasure just to be here and I’m happy to be given the opportunity to join a club like Spurs.
“It is a club that holds a good deal of renown back home in Brazil, where televised English football is very popular. I already knew that they are one of the well-established and biggest clubs in England and in Europe because of their history, and you can feel that great footballing tradition by just walking into the stadium.
“I followed the club’s progress closely last season, cheering them on from home and hoping that they would take that fourth place in the league. When it happened, it was an absolutely fantastic moment.
“I know that the club has everything it needs to go on to further success and I will do everything I can to help. The Premier League is the best league in the world. It is a strong league played at great pace and I think my style of play will adapt quickly to this kind of football.”
Sandro who won his 3rd cap for Brazil on Monday night in a 2-0 friendly win over Ukraine, and he admits that his arrival at Tottenham has been aided by the presence of his countryman Heurelho Gomes.
“It really makes me feel a lot more at home knowing that someone like Gomes is here,” said Sandro. “Apart from Gomes I didn’t know anyone here on arrival but I am getting to know the players more and more each day, and they have been very welcoming.”
“He’s a good, young player who can do a great job for us,” said Gomes… “It may take him time to adapt because football is so different here but he is a quality player and will soon show how good he is. I’ve seen a lot of him in Brazil and I like his style. It’s a style that will suit Spurs well and I predict great things from him.”
Quotes from Hotspur magazine.
That’s an ungodly amount of red he’s wearing in that pic above. Hopefully it’s old and he’s got it out of his system.
Nah, it’s a new pic Seppo. He took the international break as an opportunity to don his old colours and pose outside the Internacional team bus. :-p :shocked2:
sandro,we actually have a proper up and coming brasilian central midfielder,it can only get better,well done whoever signed him,probably levy like VDV :ninja: when he joined forces with internacional
nearly there for fulham away,i have to miss it.. :angry:,let shope vdv can put on a show and harry doesn’t try and mix and match because of inter,just get the tree points saggydrops,
no one mentioned his england vision,if the fa don’t know he wants the job,they never will ;-)
A proper central DEFENSIVE midfielder. Something that some people think Huddlestone is supposed to be, when he’s a central midfielder.
We bought Sandro so Palacios could “step up” and move to his dream club Real Madrid. :lol:
i haven’t seen enough of him yet,but i reckon he’ll get forward too when he wants too,looked that way anyway,
i could actually see them selling wilson to get some money back,not that i would
:blink: :pinch:
You cant beat a proppa brazilian Koj :shifty:
hasn’t bentley been injured this season,i mean he has only just got back
bentley and krank are the best bets to play the vdv role in inter if you ask me,give them a half each and see what happens
nothing like experimenting in the san siro :blink:
I was thinking that, don’t think the Mrs will be up for it though :ermm:
Who is the C U N T in the red track suit :-p
Your m u m! :-p
Sorry greeky. Old school humour catching up with me there. Actually, I’m glad this isn;t a playground otherwise you’d probably give me a nasty look and then someone would start chanting “fight fight fight!!!” Then some other lot would all steam in going “RUCKS!” and then the bell would go and we’ll all have to start again the next breaktime.
We used to say bundle
Sandro should definitley start at Fulham tomorrow.
Not much point hyping him up if all he does is shop for mor red tracksuits !!!
Start him tomorrow and lets see what he can do.
