They'll definitely be contributing a significant chunk, and therefore it's better than us terminating his contract and recognising the full loss of his net book value as well as the compensation we'd owe if we did. There was a lot of media rumours that he's taken a significant pay cut to go to Vasco and that they are paying 100% of his reduced wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Cheers for that. And if that be the case then it's a great result for us. A year with no loss to us. By the end of the season he'll only have a NBV of about 4m. We might even be able to sell him for a couple of mill to reduce the loss if he does something good at vasco. Or maybe trade him for a youth prospect of theirs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Probably the best move for all involved. I hope he is able to rediscover some of his form back home in Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After taking a pay cut to join us his salary has plummeted in recent years. Obviously he’ll just about manage and I applaud him for valuing playing and being happy than just taking the dough. But makes you wonder how bad that injury really was. Yard of pace lost has wiped millions of his net worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted July 11 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11 If he halved his salary to join us and then cut them again, he might've been better off financially seeing out his Barca contract. Fair play for him for trying to play football still, on less (albeit still shit loads of) money for a longer time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was paid 300k a week not playing for Barcelona, had it halved to 150k a week to not play in the Pl, and then further cut to 100k a week to play in my home country of Brasil.... Seriously though, you're right. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. Probably says more about the state of the game that he's one of about 3 people in world football that would do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Don_Simon Posted July 16 Popular Post Share Posted July 16 Him coming to Vasco is a massive deal out here in Rio. His presentation to fans on Saturday was a big event, there were parties outside the stadium with fireworks, it's crazy! (My son wore his Villa shirt to the Vasco game last Tuesday, the locals were loving it!) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a biblical storm after the game, I cannot believe the infrastructure survives weather like that. As for Phil, quality of football is not good here. He'll be a cut above everyone.
