Swear I'm as unbiased as it can get, but he is not Liverpool standard. At all
Better than Jardel and Sidnei.

Talk of Varela possibly a transfer target for some big clubs too. It would be nice to see more of James Rodriguez, and Iturbe is a ready made replacement. It's looking good for Porto though, as Hulk is near guaranteed to stay and Falcao wants to prolong his stay too. Rolando is the most likely to leave, and will need replacing, but I think it would need to be a big offer for Fernando to leave. I wouldn't be surprised if there was interest in Alvaro Pereira too, he's been quality in every game I have seen this season.
Unfortunately, I don't think the club are in a position to refuse £25+ mil bids, so it may be in the hands of the respective players
Today, there was some news about Varela, saying that Man City are interested in him.

Man City are interested in everyone...
If we get 25m bids ME, MYSELF, am going to the president and tell him: SELL THEM. We can get new players with enough quality for 25m -.- ... The thing is.. Doubt 25m bids come for our defenders. A.Pereira won't leave , he loves Porto, and wants to play CL with us. the only 2 guys that might leave are Rolando and Fernando. If they do, we have Maicon to replace Rolando, we just need a new player to replace Fernando. If Varela leaves... Wich i truely doubt, We have James Rodriguez, and now IturbePrevious post was at 11:13 PM
Souza? Nah! Not as good as Fernando! Souza attacks more then Fernando. Fernando is a truely DM , Souza looks like a fake DM, he attacks tooo much.

Man City are interested in 99% of the players that score 1 goal.
I meant the £25m + for Hulk or Falcao. The others wouldn't demand such a high fee, and as such I think you will be able to keep them. You can't guarantee that players won't leave because they 'love the club'. There are countless examples of players that have had their heads turned by money and greedy agents
I really doubt Porto would accept 25m for Hulk or Falcao when they already declined a 35m offer for Hulk but...
Porto president Pinto da Costa has just said that the money from the Bruno Alves deal to Zenit at the start of the season (20m) only came now. Everything is good, president said NO PLAYER WILL LEAVE. And asked by the media about Villas Boas... he just said "The big european teams want him? WE ARE A BIG EUROPEAN TEAM and we have him , so it's okay."
Believe me guys, i know you find it hard to believe, like me , but no players will really leave... Money is flowing in Porto at the moment, success, next sunday we will play the portuguese cup final against Guimaraes... Next season exciting Iturbe is coming... CL football again... couldn't ask for more!
I hope you're right, I really do. It's easy for the chairman to say that now though. If Man City want a player, they will more than likely get them (judging by the figures being branded around at the moment)
This is Moutinho and Otamendi 1st season at Porto. None of them will leave. Try again
Most probable replacement for Boas at Porto is...Pacienca, and as for big players leaving I can see Ruben Micael considering leaving and possibly Maicon moving to Spain/Italy.
