Paulo Da Silva
Starting XI
Porto have just bought the other 50% of Lucho rights for little over 6 million euros. Great move, great great move.
Now our starting line-up looks absolutely brilliant. I really think that if we play to our full potential we can easily win the league.
Some more rumours. Edgar to Leiria. Does that mean Postiga will stay with the team?
Starting Line-up according to what i saw in preseason.
===============Helton===================
Bosingwa=====Stepanov=Alves===========Fucile
==============Bollatti==================== Assuncao (Back-up)
========Lucho========Meireles=============
Quaresma==========================Gonzalez
==============Adriano=================== Farias once he gets used to things.
Leandro Lima should also get a serious look in. with Benfica and Sporting looing very caca this preseason we should be fine.
For the Sporting game JF should put Bruno Alves in the box on free kicks cuz sporting have suffered there this year.

great news about Lucho 
Pedro Emanuel should be the main starter in what concerns our CBs, in my opinion of course.
between Alves, JP and Stepanov, I can't really choose right now. Jesualdo will surely pick the best one...
the rest of the formation is ok by me, the truth is we have many and good alternatives in the squad

ok the shirt numbers have been decided, here's the list:
1 Helton
2 Bruno Alves
3 Pedro Emanuel
4 Stepanov
5 Marek Cech
6 Paulo Assunção
7 Quaresma
8 Lucho
9 Lisandro
11 Mariano
12 Bosingwa
13 Fucile
14 João Paulo
15 Lino
16 Raul Meireles
17 Tarik
18 Bolatti
19 Farías
20 Leandro Lima
21 Luís Aguiar
24 Ventura
25 KAZ!
26 Castro
28 Adriano
29 Edgar
30 Rui Pedro
33 Nuno Espírito Santo
Postiga didn't get a number which means he's most likely out of the squad, plus no #10 has been given which may indicate that some other player is coming for the attack
also, Tarik grabbed a spot! well deserved for him
this leaves us with 27 players, if that #10 comes makes it 28...but considering that Ventura, Castro and Rui Pedro are gonna be part of the squad mostly to gain experience, 28 players will be fine by me.

you guys would know more than anybody else... is there any chance Quaresma might leave this summer? the italian press has linked him with Fiorentina, have the Portuguese media mentioned this?
don't think so Mikey, our president gave an interview yesterday where he said that Quaresma is not leaving as of yet.
and yeah the news about a Fiorentina interest got here, but wasn't even considered by the board.
Anthony bro, seems like KAZ! is gonna start against Sporting
so the first official match of the season is coming within hours, here is the list of players called up:
Goalkeepers
Helton, Nuno
Defenders
Bosingwa, Bruno Alves, Mareck Cech, Fucile, João Paulo, Pedro Emanuel
Midfielders
Bolatti, KAZ!, Leandro Lima, Paulo Assunção, Raul Meireles
Forwards
Adriano, Edgar, Lisandro, Mariano Gonzalez, Quaresma, Tarik
likely line-up:
----------------Helton----------------
Bosingwa-Bruno Alves-P. Emanuel-Fucile
-------------P. Assunção--------------
---------R. Meireles----KAZ!-----------
Lisandro----------------------Quaresma
---------------Adriano-----------------
I'm predicting 2-0 for us, Adriano and Lima to score

we lost 1-0 with a great goal by Izmailov, but how ******* unfair was this result man.
we hit the post 2 or 3 times, got a clear penalty in our favour not called, and Sporting scored in just about their dangerous go at goal.
we didn't play well, but Sporting didn't do any better...the match was sh't.
oh well, hope we start better in the League...

Ive seen Quaresma a couple times in the past, and was pretty impressed, and he looks amazing in all the compilation videos, but is he really that good week in week out?
im only curious because hes one player ive hoped to see land in Serie A for a long time

well today he really sucked ass, nothing went his way 
but last season for example, he was very important for us in several periods...when the team wasn't delivering, he always came forward for us and won us some matches.
in the last couple of years he improved his consistency a lot and is now a more complete player.
he just needs to work on his cockiness

nevertheless he still had some good moments. remember that freekick off the post in the first half?
he didn't play bad, but he also was far from what he can do usually...
anyway, IMO FC Porto had a miserable game. and Jesualdo waited to damn long to do something about it. Kaz was in just moments before Sporting's goal...
KAZ! that shot off the post would've been a really great goal. the bend on the ball was incredible, we're used to watch only Quaresma pull those out of nothing
and IMHO Quaresma was our worst player yesterday, if we consider what he didn't do for the team.
he lost a sh'tload of balls and ****ed up too many of our attacks...you may think that I'm being too harsh, but the truth is that if I was Jesualdo he would've been the first player subbed out.
in the end we were unlucky, we didn't play well but it was more than enough to deserve at least the draw.
like I said before, lets look forward to the Liga Betadine.
we have a very good squad and as soon as the new players are fully integrated in the group I'm sure we'll perform better.

oh he does manage to get on my nerves from time to time...for example yesterday, I really wished someone would just kick his gay ass out of the field. it's like he wasn't even trying...
and I can't stand his excessive whinning when he thinks he's been fouled, it's true that he gets a lot of pau but many times he just behaves like a spoiled (gypsy) brat.
...there you go Fili
