3 arrivals, a negotiation and 1 injury

By: André | July 29th, 2008

What a busy day today at Gávea. For those who didn’t play the whole 90 minutes yesterday, there was training. For the board, there were meetings at Curitiba and Greece. The first one was to try to announce two new players’ transfers, and the other to receive the payment from Souza’s transfer.

Yesterday during the game, ex-Flamengo advanced midfielder Felipe affirmed that between Flamengo and him everything is ready for him to come back. He only needs to reach an agreement with his team, Al-Saad. He said he is not joining the team at Switzerland for its pre-season.

Kleberson is out for two weeks at least. He fell over his right shoulder during the training session this morning. He had recovered from an injury just a few days ago and now is out for a long time. The doctors said in best hypothesis he will be out for two or three weeks, but it will probably take more time for him to recover.

Later, the board announced they are bringing Vandinho, Eltinho and Éverton. The first is a 21 year-old striker, as I already explained.

Eltinho is a left winger who already worked with Caio Jr when he was coaching Paraná as well as Vandinho. He was at Cruzeiro, but wasn’t playing. He was only recovering from an injury since last year and came to be Juan’s substitute when needed.

Éverton is playing for Paraná and is one of Brazilian Second Division best players. He will be joining Flamengo on January 2009, but the board is working to bring him right now. He is a midfielder who fits on the team.
