Pedro Mendes: “Sporting are a great team, but no contact has been made”

Portugal international comments on transfer speculation

Pedro MendesPortugal midfielder Pedro Mendes has reacted to the intense speculation linking him to Sporting. The Glasgow Rangers player did not hold back on his praise of the Lisbon outfit, but made a point of stating that “absolutely nothing” has been discussed regarding a possible transfer back to his homeland.
 
Speaking to Portuguese radio station, TSF, Mendes said, “Sporting are a huge club who fight to win trophies. But there is absolutely nothing and I think it is important to define that no contact has been made. I’m not saying that I want or I don’t want the move, but it’s important to clarify matters.”
 

Clarification

“I couldn’t let a situation like this (intense transfer speculation) go by without giving a response. Sporting are a great team, a young team. As with any offer, I would have to analyse it and decide what is best for me and for the clubs in question.”
 
Mendes has been out of action for over two months after suffering a knee ligament injury in the Champions League match against Unirea Urziceni. He is expected to make his first-team comeback within a fortnight.

Umm Pedro I think you should reanalyse that comment of Rangers being a far superior team than sporting. They and the rest of the scottish league have become no better than Sporting Braga...Scottish Football is in a serious decline and If Pedro Mendes wants to get back to the national squad it would be wise to hook up with lisbon giants sporting

I think Pedro should stay with Rangers,Rangers are a far superior team than Sporting,with a lot more superior players.Also i think he has a better chance of making the national squad for South Africa (which i think he should) with the international television coverage Glasgow Rangers are getting at the moment.

It would be a good move for Sporting and for Pedro Mendes. Rangers is a good club but the competition is not the same in Portugal. Liga is obviously stronger and I think everyone would like to see Pedro Mendes back in Portugal.
