Just to get the message across, the Youth Fenerbahce Association’s European branch also put on a soddin’ welcoming ceremony for the Uruguayan centre-half in the middle of Charles de Gaulle airport when he touched down at the other end!

    I have never seen fans carry the player on their shoulders to the security checkpoint at the airport when the player is leaving their team. AMAZING !!!

  2. tony low says:

    this indeed is amazing, for a moment I thought they were Atletico de Madrid fans!

  3. Chris says:

    Anyone have any idea what they’re singing?

  4. United Fan says:

    I’m surprised a Premier League big hitter did’nt go for Lugano. Looks like a top player.

    Arsenal spent 12M for Mertesacker and were thinking about something close for Cahill and Jagielka
    PSG got Lugano for 3M.
    That’s what QPR are paying for that useless mackem Anton Ferdinand

    lugano is world class and has been world class for years. one of the best and most underrated defenders if not the most underrated. on the same level as vidic IMHO.

  7. AussieVillan says:

    That it how you rightly thank a player who has given years to your club, not burning their shirts!

  8. bucci says:

    thats fucking beautiful

  9. bcy says:

    fans are singing “we’re proud of you”
    lugano has left Fenerbahce as the match-fixing scandals hit the club; so they are deeply in need of cash these days. that explains the fans’ reaction.

    chris, it’s Ataturk airport in Istanbul.

  11. Cemal says:
