    Transfer Rumors 2013 – Manchester United Want Alex Sandro & Leighton Baines

    There are going to be quite a few changes with Manchester United this summer, as a lot of veterans and old players will make way for a younger and probably better import, as the left back position, occupied by Patrice Evra for quite some time, will probably be given to either Leighton Baines from Everton or Alex Sandro from Porto.

  • Transfer Rumors 2013 – Manchester United Still After James Rodriguez

    Transfer Rumors 2013 – Manchester United Still After James Rodriguez

    Great players never last very long with Porto, and although things have been mostly quiet on the James Rodriguez front for quite some time, Manchester United haven’t lost interest in the Colombian player, enjoying an excellent season in Portugal, which also might be his last for the club.

    European Football Leagues Are Boring in 2012-2013

    With Manchester United clearly winning the Premier League, and the same goes for Barcelona in Spain, Bayern Munich in Germany and Juventus in Italy, it’s official – 2012-2013 is one of the more boring seasons in memory, at least when it comes to the local leagues, with the drama this time saved for the Champions League and the Europa League.

    Transfer Rumors 2013 – Manchester United Interested in Eliaquim Mangala

    The destiny of every Porto player, eventually, is to become a profit margin, and travel to a bigger, better league & club while Porto make double or triple the amount invested in him. Eliaquim Mangala will probably be one of those players, with Manchester United chasing the French centre back, although Manchester City, Bayern Munich and AC Milan are also on his trail.

  • FC Porto – Perfect, Except for the Goals

    FC Porto – Perfect, Except for the Goals

    There wasn’t any doubt heading out of the Dragao Stadium in Porto who was the better side in the first leg. Porto won only 1-0 with a goal from João Moutinho, but it was one of the more one-sided affairs we’ve seen in the Champions League this season.

  • Champions League – Porto vs Malaga Predictions

    Champions League – Porto vs Malaga Predictions

    Two of the more enjoyable teams to watch this season come together in the knockout stage, one more surprising than the other. Most expected Porto, the Portuguese champions, to make it at least this far in the competitions, but few thought cash-strapped Malaga would do this well on all fronts this season, including the Champions League.

  • Still Neck and Neck (Benfica vs Porto)

    Still Neck and Neck (Benfica vs Porto)

    The best rivalry in Portugal for the last 10 years is Benfica and Porto, while the decline and decay of Sporting continues. The O Clássico always produces great matches, and this season, with the title race going neck and neck, both teams being inseprable, it produced the most incredible 17 minutes right from the start.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Nani to Porto, James Rodriguez to Manchester United

    Transfer Rumors 2012 – Nani to Porto, James Rodriguez to Manchester United

    The question is pretty simple. How badly do Alex Ferguson and Manchester United want Nani gone, and/or how much are they willing to spend to sing the Colombian James Rodriguez from FC Porto.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Manchester United Chasing James Rodriguez

    The Colombian youngster, James Rodriguez, isn’t exactly your classic winger type, but it isn’t stopping from Manchester United and Alex Ferguson to take a close look at the Porto player as a possible replacement for Nani, who looks more and more like a man who has overstayed his welcome.

  • No one Does Business like FC Porto

    Another season in which FC Porto needs to sell their biggest star isn’t a surprise to anyone. Maybe the price, something around €60 million paid by Zenit for Brazilian forward Hulk, is somewhat of a surprise, and the destination, instead of the Premier League, could be surprising as well.
