Porto chairman Pinto da Costa today revealed
Jesualdo Ferreira's repalcement to be Englishman Stuart Bennie. Bennie has stated his intension to retain the Liga Sagres title and make a real statement on the European scene.

Bennie also announce that Bruno Alves would continue as club captain with Raúl Meireles vice-captain.


 
I suggest a better OP but other than that,good luck mate.
 
Transfers

Have decided to go for youth but hope Tinga from Ponte Preta and Rodrigo Dantas from Botafogo can step up and make a contribution.

Tried to sell Nuno as I had three goalkeepers but went out on loan, there is a clause for a permanent transfer.

Porto 1 - 0 Nacional da Madeira

Varela (20)
M.O.M = Silvestre Varela

Naval 0 - 2 Porto
Hulk (69), Varela (90+1)

Varela

Not the best start, should have won aginst P. Ferreira seeing that I beat them in the Super Cup. Must be doing something right if the man of the match was their defender.
Only dropped 2 out of a possible 9 points.

Silvestre Varela looks to be great attacking threat on the right wing.

Stadio Artemio Franchi with a point a great result.

Going really well so far. I have played 14 competitive fixtures and am yet to be beaten.
Didn't drop any points in the league so am keeping up with Sporting CP and Benfica.
In the cup I went Wenger style and fielded a team of youngster including all 6 summer signings and got a good reult.
Beating Unirea Urziceni at home was expected but to get 4 goals is good should it gome down to goal difference.
Good to see Tinga and Rodrigo Dantas stepping up in all competitions and putting in good performances.

Porto 3 - 1 Rio Ave
Carlos (16 OG), Hulk (19), Valeri (34) - Fogaca (7)
M.O.M = Diego Valeri

Finally beaten in a competitive match with 1 - 0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.
From a possible 6 points 2 were dropped, meaing Sporting CP are more than three points clear.
The Portuguese Cup 4th Round was convincingly won with a second string lineup, and once again young members of the squad produced pleasing performances.
Player of the Month = Hulk
