FC Porto Thread [2005-2006]

[Goo Goo boy]

Meh, Diego was my favourite player on earth when he played at Santos...and quite honestly I may be the only porto fan that was quite happy with him.



Last year, when the ship was sinking with Couceiro and Fernandez he played well in every single game i saw and he looked like he was wiling to fight for porto just like any good portista would. He was man marked in every single game and even though his grades in the match reports were good, journalists always found a way to blame him only because porto didn't win. Journalists focus too much on the number 10, and they forget there has to be a very well structured and dynamic team to support him. Well, no one in that squad knew each other in the start of the season, and the group kept constantly changing and becoming more and more decadent.

This year i liked his performances. Although he started the season injured, he always fought hard to return to the team and kept struggling throughout the whole season. He was professional.

The thing is: Co Adriaanse started to play in a 3-3-4. Diego can't play as a second forward neither as the two box-to-box positions that RMeireles, Ibson, Cech and Lucho performed so well.

I'm glad he went to a good club and everyone got along just fine. But I honestly believe he had no responsability for his lack of glory in here, he was just unlucky with the circumstances. He came in a hang-over year and in the next season we signed a coach that uses one of the few tactics that don't include a nr 10. Bad luck.



Farewell Diego, i'd be glad to see you back, at the right time.

And get ready to learn german.

And get ready to learn german.

 

[Jannes]

german is not easy. i hope he dont speak german like ailton.

 

[MaSsiVe]

german is not easy. i hope he dont speak german like ailton.

there's quite a few brazilians in the Bundesliga so he might learn it quicker with the help of some of his countrymen I guess, especially Bremen's Naldo of course.

 

[Paulo Da Silva]

if there was one good thing about the Euro U-21 it was the play of Raul Meireles. This man is the most inform DM in Portugal.

Lucho González já tinha vincado que só pensa apresentar-se no FC Porto na nova época. Marcelo Simonian, empresário do jogador, reitera esse facto. “Não sai. Não há nenhuma possibilidade de sair”, expressou convicta e repetidamente, não deixando quaisquer dúvidas.

“O Lucho está muito feliz e muito agradecido ao clube. Vai ficar no FC Porto”, afirmou, categoricamente. Em vésperas de Mundial, os adeptos dos dragões não têm por que temer a exposição do médio que se revelou goleador na Invicta.
E quanto às notícias que deram conta do interesse de emblemas europeus, não houve nada de concreto.

“Nem com o Inter nem com qualquer outro clube. E o Lucho não quer sair. Vai ficar no FC Porto, é uma certeza.” O camisola 22 da alviceleste estreia-se no Mundial no dia 10 (sábado).

great news

 

[Paulo Da Silva]

It seems Porto are looking hard for a new Striker.

So far the names have been: Hesellink and Carew.

None if these guys are proven goal scorers

It seems Cisse and Frei are in the market. We should get oneof those 2.

 

[MaSsiVe]

I definitely don't want Venegoor or Carew.

Frei I don't know much about but Cissé would be awesome


I still think we don't need another Hugo Almeida/Adriano//Benni kind of forward, we need like another Lisandro you know?
someone quick and sudden to play just behind one of those strikers.

I've been wishing Miccoli to join us for a long time now, I think he's just the kind of player we need.

Empoli's Tavano would be great too dispite his age (28 I guess), but we don't usually search the Italian market

 

[Paulo Da Silva]

Miccolli would be great in more ways then just fitting into the system...

I like the main kit, but the orange.. hmm... gotta get used to it.. it's strange!

 

[MaSsiVe]

I like the main kit, but the orange.. hmm... gotta get used to it.. it's strange!

the f'cking PT logo is too damn big...apart from that I love the home one.

the orange is not as bad as it seemed from the early drawn pics, I actually kind of fancy it...got to seem them during play to be sure though.

who knows maybe it'll bring us luck, at least orange is my favourite colour

 

[smoove]

I gotta say I like your new kits, especially the home ones...better than our new ones anyway...

 

[NightCrawler]

I like the main kit, but the orange.. hmm... gotta get used to it.. it's strange!

Medo.....
Those faces looking at me... it seems they're gonna take their Ford Transits with counterfeit clothes and run me over...

That second kit reminds me of those guys who stop traffic for little kids to cross the road outside of schools! Or maybe a road construction worker... Can't decide between both...

 

[INFESTA]

I like them!

The PT logo is crap, but at least it's all blue, white and orange, so it matches our shirts. The white stripe on the home kit is a tad too large for my liking as well, but apart from that they look great.

The only thing I dislike is our gk's kit.

 

[bmpv666]

i like them both as well, and i'm definitely going to buy the home asap

 

[MaSsiVe]

so what you guys think about Ezequias to Porto?

huge surprise for me but I reckon he's a good player.
like Peixoto he can play in all the left wing spots, the difference is that Ezequias has tremendous pace.
But the thing is that he'll have to prove himself useful for a team like Porto, playing at a higher level....

I prefer to wait and see, but at least he knows our League well and surely was a bargain too.

 

[K3nzo]

Major clubs was following him but he's ours!!!! YEAH!! EZEQUIAS!!!!




now serioulsy...

1.80m and 69 Kg? kinda skinny?


Only know him by name, dont remenber to see him play so i cant say sh1t! Papers say it was a Co Ad choice, let's see it, if it's as good as Sonkaya...
