Congrats on Promotion.  Although I don't like our rival having more money to throw around at my transfer targets (at least I keep my 2.5M). 
And how did Costa end up on that list? No way.

If Machado's wage stays within a reasonable frame, we're very interested in him.
Sanz would be a fitting rider for your regional focus in a possible swap, but I would first need some interest in him to even renew his contract though.
Oh, and congratulations on your late promotion of course

This last time our DS was on the highest grade of the Man-Game he managed to get a hold of talented Spanish all-rounder, named  Luis Leon Sanchez Gil. With the Spaniard about to leave his current team, some say this could be the chance for them to reunite.
You are reading my blog 
Looking forward to race against you once more. Also, Machado looks like an interesting rider.

Thanks everyone.
I'll be glad to initiate negotiations with all of you when the transfer season starts. Until then I'm happy to take note of the interest on Machado.
@Mre: I'm confident you know you can count on my constant nagging
EDIT: @alex: ahah I knew you would like to read my transfer plans it's just an interest though.

Congratulations on your promotion, though I fear that it will bring troubles ..
Bruno Santos du demonstrated its usefulness in PTC, so it may be an interesting rider ... Rafael Reis seems to be very interested in continuing his career in the Adira team

This kind of trouble is always welcome
We'll have a look at Santos when the time comes then. Thanks for taking Reis in this season, but this year I was more inclined to keep him. We'll have a talk when things get clearer

As Aeropostal looks for a cobbled leadet, Machado might interest us. |

AMEpc sees an opportunity to help both of our teams. A loan of Rui Pedro Vinhas to AMEX would give him an opportunity to level up, play a leadership role and best of all the Volta a Portugal is already on our schedule.
What better way to have Rui come back to the PT next year.

We're glad to learn about your interest in Vinhas. However we're not in a position where we could compromise to anything. Let's wait and see what's the situation after renewals are done with.

Machado may leave, but only if the right offer knocks on the door.

Congrats on a great season last year. That is some going to achieve 5/5 goals well worth the promotion to the WT.
I am not sure I believe the team won't try and sign Tiago Machado though!
It would be great of Prio - Porto to help out their fellow Portuguese speaking team in Bonsucro with some deals down the line.
Bonsucro have their eyes on Pedro Nicácio and would give him a great home but are weary of the price tag! Nascimento is also a target as is one of the younger Portuguese sprinters. Once the transfer period begins I expect us to do some talking. |

As we've done in previous years, we intend to work alongside our neighbouring teams to help each other achieve common goals. You can rest assured Bonsucro has caught our sympathy. We are eager to work with and aid in the development of brazilian cycling.
On the other hand you can also count on a friendly rivalry from our side as well

Ruben Plaza looking for a new team?
Ruben Plaza's connection with the portuguese team Prio - Porto seems to be close to its end. The spanish rider has conceded an interview with a local paper stating that after last year's surprise promotion his position as team leader has been compromised. 2013 was a transition year for Plaza, who as started declining, which led him to step down to the PCT. However with his current team climbing back to the PT he's decided to leave.
I know I'm not getting any younger, but I'm still good enough to lead a PCT or a CT team. Especially with the new wave of South American teams, I think I could have a shot at serving as a mentor and leading one of those to higher grounds. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Last year the spaniard went on to grab 3 overall top5s and 2 stage-wins. Meanwhile he proved to be competitive at the highest level with an outstanding 12th place in the Vuelta a España. However his best results were saved for his last race, Volta a Portugal, where he finished 3rd despite leading for most of the race.

Plaza is a very good rider and always a safe bet to bring home a good amount of points. You should get a good deal on him. Great to see he helped you get back in the PT

CSC-Orbea would like to express interest in  Rubén Plaza and Francisco Ventoso. Also the names of Daniel Allonca and  Ricardo Ferreira have surfaced as the team is looking for some help on the cobbles.
Rumors also have it that Rui Costa wants a change of scenery and out of CSC to ride for a PT team. So by connecting the dots, it's rather safe to assume this is the place where he wants to end up.
The Spanish headlines in the paper this afternoon read,
Can they play nice? Rivals CSC-Orbea and Prio-Porto have given each other headaches in past, but experts say it could be different this time.

Well, since I'm forced to race the cobbled classics I think it wouldn't be a good managerial decision to let go of Allonca or Ferreira.
However, I have to admit I'm extremely satisfied to hear you mention all the other names.
I'm expecting to associate your name with good news this transfer season
