Villas Boas may sign for 5 years with Villa. He will lead an ambicious project.

FC Porto is the new portuguese champion.

The 4 Benfica's center back (Luisão, Garay, Jardel and Miguel Vitor) are injured ahaha. We are doomed.

Good game. Benfica had 5 points ahead 2 games ago (lost with Guimaraes and got a 0-0 with Academica).

Today Benfica will face Porto.

League Cup:

The Portuguese Cup final will be Sporting Vs. Académica.

Sporting CP signed Elias from Atletico until 2015 for 8.85M€

still cheaper than Andy Carroll though for a team thats broke and had to sell Kun, Atletico magically find money

And they signed Silvio, Arda Turan, Falcao, Micael and Osvaldo... they've found a gold mine under theirs stadium

It's official

Falcao -> Atletico (40M€ - this is the biggest transf. made by a portuguese club. And it can get to 47M);

Ruben Micael -> Atletico (5M€, but he can be loaned to Zaragoza).

Ruben Micael and Falcao are close to sign with Atletico for 40/50M€ both.

Jorge Ribeiro signed with Granada (he is the brother of Maniche).

Carlos Martins, Júlio César went on loan to Granada too, Jara and Yebda may be the next to go on loan.

Balboa signed with Beira-Mar for 1 year.

Lima (Sp. Braga) is the next FW of Besiktas.

Simon Vukcevic is close to sign with Blackburn.

Mangala and Defour from Liege may sign with Porto for 6 and 7M€.

Freddy Adu signed with Philadelphia Union.

They have a lot of foreigners in their team that are good like Skolnik and Mihelič. João Aurélio, is a decent right ringer and Candeias is a good left winger. Felipe Lopes is the defence's boss, was linked to Porto this summer. I don't know how is Birmingham now without Martins, Foster, Larsson and Ferguson, but i believe that Nacional may win the game at Choupana.

Benfica 2-1 Arsenal - Highlights

Later this month i'll do the same thing i did 2 seasons ago, in this thread.

Porto 2-1 V.Guimarães - Portuguese Supercup

MM what's happened to adrien? And that other kid at sporting who's good on fm figueirdo (sp?)

Adrien is on loan at Académica. Tobias Figueiredo is at the Sporting's Youth Team (he's only 17). Never saw him play, but i've heard he i really good.

Capdevilla is a Benfica player.

2 left backs?

Yes. We currently only have Carole, but he is too young yet, he probably will go to another team to play more.
