i found this article on our new norwegian signing azar karadas. it was originally in portuguese which obviously i can't understand, however google helpfully translated it into english, which i'm sure you'll agree is much easier to understand:

"Karadas bad luck is the new tip of spear of the Benfica. The transference already was confirmed by the Rosenborg, through its official small farm , but it does not inform the duration of the bond, nor the values of the business, that, according to the Norwegian press, will be fixed in 1,5 million euros, or either, the mount of money that the Benfica was made use to offer for the player.

Karadas, that is known by the nickname of ' La Family ', will complete 23 years the 9 of August, already it will not be used in the departure of today to the end of the afternoon between Rosenborg and Sheriff Tiraspol, what it will allow to new the advanced one of ' fleshes-color ' to actuar for the Benfica in 3ªpré eliminatory of Liga of the Champions.

It is mentioned that this season is not to run in the best way to the player, who after an excellent exhibition front to the Benfica in Goblet the UEFA, it fell of production and it exactly arrived to lose the title. Its savings of 3 golos, in 15 games, seems short for a Nordic championship, but, in the truth, this old central defense, that the Rosenborg discovered in the Brann, in 2002, never marked more than 5 golos for time in the Norwegian champion, being that its personal maximum is fixed in the 7 golos, reached in 2002, still to the service of the Brann."
