    CFG Expansion | Başakşehir to join? (p70)

    nice one, with good information. let me highlight this passage on the last paragraph: "Of all CFG’s clubs it has never taken on a club this historic or with such a large fanbase since it bought City". when Soriano came here, last week, he made clear that our fanbase was one of the main assets...

    CFG Expansion | Başakşehir to join? (p70)

    a few of the brazilian players on contract with CFG teams are already here, but they came mostly for the main squad, and had mixed results. Kayky, for instance, from Man City, didn't start the season well and currently sits on the bench. the same is true for both Arthur Sales and Diego Souza...

    I'm a Bahia supporter. I would say that our academy has a lot of room for improvement. Our youth facilities are one of the best of the country, but we currently don't have a lot of talent in the squad. Our two best prospects at the moment are André, a right-back that has been called up to...

    CFG will definitely do that in Bahia. The first step is trying to hire João Paulo Sampaio as Head of Youth Development. He is the guy who has built such a conveyor belt in Palmeiras to discover talented kids like Endrick and others. CFG has already opened talks with Sampaio, but signing him...

    yes, there will be a "transition phase" of about three to four months before everything is finalized. the reason for that is that up to last year, no brazilian clubs were actual companies, they were considered non-profit associations instead. so, Bahia will need to establish a company first...

    well, Grêmio actually play in sky blue (plus black and white) :-) Bahia's blue is a somewhat darker shade. Bragantino was a much smaller club before RB bought them, but rised up the ranks pretty fast.

    I totally get that from a Man City fan standpoint, LOL. but if there's too much red in our three-coloured kit for you, maybe you will like our home kits better, which are pretty similar to the England national team kit, with a white shirt and blue shorts :-D

    it is a beautiful stadium, indeed. just some trivia on the lake that you've mentioned. it is actually a man-made lake, it was built by the Dutch when they seized the city from the Portuguese during the colonial times, back in the 17th century. after the being expelled from the region just a...

    hey there, lads! I am a Bahia supporter and I've just found out this forum when searching for information about the purchase of my club by CFG. first of all, these are not official numbers just yet. the deal is not yet finalized and, for now, all we have on the terms of the deal is sheer...
