Benfica is after Marcos Angeleri
http://www.eldia.com.ar/edis/20081025/deportes12.htm
In the last market, in the beginning of the season, Angeleri was mentioned, and seems that Benfica never put him aside. We need a right-back like him, so i hope that in January this rumor comes true.

FC Porto lost 3 points in Matosinhos against Leixões. So if we win today, we'll be in 2nd place.
Yebda recovered from his injury, so maybe he will play today against Naval, he's an important piece of our team.
Today's line-up maybe will be this:
------------------Quim-------------------
-----------Luisão----------Sidnei---------
-Maxi-----------------------------Ribeiro-
-----------------------------------------
--------------Yebda-----C. Martins-------
-Di Maria---------------------------Reyes-
------------------------------------------
---------------Nuno Gomes---------------
------------------------------Suazo------
C. Martins --> Katsouranis

Reyes is really working hard, he's an amazing player.
Yebda just came from an injury, so maybe that's why he wasn't totally fit.
I personally wouldn't field Jorge Ribeiro instead of Léo. I don't know what happened but there clearly is a problem between Léo and Quique, in their relation, it's not about the player's ability.
Imo, Jorge Ribeiro is a very good crosser of the ball and has a more accurate and powerful shot than Léo. However those are the only things in which he's better, in everything else and despite Léo's age, he is the better player. I mean, defensively Ribeiro is very limited and because he isn't by any means a very fast player (he can't recover his position very quickly) this exposes the defense on many occasions, e.g. Naval scored by exploiting the left side of defense and of course Luisão was sleeping, well most of the team was but anyway they attacked much more from Ribeiro's side, and so did Hertha.
Regarding Sidnei, he's a wonderkid. Seriously after watching his matches this season can you believe he's still only 19? The way he anticipates the play, the tackling, positioning and aerial ability make him an excellent defender already. If he continues to improve he has a great career in front of him.
More can't be asked to Cardozo, he entered well in the match playing well and was rewarded with a goal.
Still, we won and deservedly so but this team should know how to control the game when winning, they just totally slacked off, somehow thought the match was won and that almost cost us the win. They still have a lot to improve, but still glad we won of course.
Sorry 'bout the long post

In Leo's case, i heard that in the trainings he doesnt make what Quique wants, so he put Jorge for Leo to see him.. ( I think that in Valencia, he did the same with Ayala, and it worked )
I prefer Leo than Jorge, but in this game, i give credit to him, because he tried a lot.
Reyes is improving a lot, i hope that he can recover his "vicious" mind.
There are some rumors about Marcos Angeleri in January, and if this really comes true, our defence and attack will highly improve.

I don't think that's the issue, Léo is very experienced and a dedicated professional. He always gives his all, he has much more tactical knowledge and positioning sense then Jorge Ribeiro, but for some reason Quique doesn't like him. (I'm guessing it has to do with his age)
But yeah he did do something like this with Ayala and doing it with Léo is a mistake imo. I can see he's trying to get more of Léo, but apparently he didn't watch him in previous seasons, where Léo was probably our best player and produced on a regular basis. People are different, just because it worked with one individual don't mean it's gonna work with the other, but hey he's the coach.
Also you could see in the match against Penafiel that Léo was really unhappy playing, instead of working hard to win his spot back.
On that other topic I don't know Marcos Angeleri but we need another RB, not that Miguel Victor does a bad job when he plays there, it's just that his natural position is CB and we need someone to give more depth in the right flank, like you said.

Suazo is incredible fast... poor Academica defence 
Now we have to win against Olympiakos... Quique didnt use some players in Academica that probably will play, so maybe the tactic we'll use is:
---------------------Quim----------------------
----------Luisão----------------Sidnei----------
M. Pereira---------------------------J. Ribeiro---
---------------------Yebda---------------------
------------------------------------------------
R. Amorim----------------------------Reyes-----
---------------------Aimar----------------------
------------------------------------------------
----------N. Gomes------------Suazo------------
If he plays in 442 Diamond... but i think he may play in 442 classic.

The transfer rumors appeared:
- Marcos Angeleri - Estudiantes de la Plata[Old Rumor, but not forgotten]
- Daniel Carvalho - Internacional
- Albin - Getafe
- Soldado - Getafe
- Uche - Getafe
If we win today's game, we reach to the 1º place, because Leixoes lost points in Naval [1-1]. Luisão, Nuno Gomes and Pablo Aimar are injuried, so our team maybe will be this:
-----------------Quim------------------
---------M. Vitor--------Sidnei----------
-M. Pereira----------------------D. Luiz-
----------------------------------------
---------C. Martins----Yebda------------
----------------------------------------
-R. Amorim-----------------------Reyes-
