Ah damn, James Rodriguez just got injured. That worries me. Not the same position as Moutinho, but losing a player like James and Moutinho would be crippling for Porto.

Looks like a bit of a knock, nothing too serious. Aren't they getting that Russian fella in anyway who plays AM?

Who has also been injured pretty much non-stop. Marat Izmailov.

That seems like a strange signing for Porto. Are they trying to replicate Spurs 11/12 season by signing injury-prone, wrong side of 30 footballers in January, so that they'll fall away towards the end of the season and gift the title to Benfica?

I was really confused by the move as well.

I thought Hector Herrera would be the linchpin for a Moutinho move as he screams the type of signing they would make. Around 8m and he's got that deep-lying playmaker skill set. They love going with youth and pretty much investing their future in them.

No offence to the lad but he looks like Gollum.

In a good way? :cautious:

64th minute. 100% the commentator said the words Moutinho, Spurs and Izmailov (Porto's supposed replacement/new signing) in the same sentence. Hopefully it was about Moutinho going to Spurs and being replaced by Izmailov

every damn corner lands in the same spot. my oh my.

Don't you worry, 2 weeks at Tottenham will teach him how to pick out the first defender almost every time - for variety we'll also teach him to kick the ball out for a throw in.
