Looking at the weekend soccer games of Benfica and FC Porto this morning, 2 things surprised me:
FC Porto lost, at home against Celtic- FC Porto 0-1 Celtic
Benfica lost again, by 2 goals! Poor new coach Quique Sanchez Flores. Benfica 0-2 Sporting.
How's the transfer talk of Joao Moutinho going?
Here's where the hoopla began:
A Bola:
July 28, 2008,
Top Right, "Moutinho and Sporting, twisting of the arm involing euros"
- Joao Moutinho said that he did want to leave Sporting this season.
Well, Sporting manager Paolo Bento didn't appreciate that comment. The club has to respond by saying that they did reject an offer by Everton.
Teammates Tonel and Derlei already said they think that Moutinho will be a loss to the club.
People wanted to know if Moutinho would then come to the game, Benfica-Sporting.
-Sporting coach Paolo Bento didn't even put him in the call-up list but he was still present on the bench.

-Official reason: injured, a muscular problem on the right thigh, "um problema muscular na coxa direita" It was caused after the pre-season friendly against Blackburn Rovers
-Media and fans believe: his head is elsewhere and not in Sporting. I believe so too.
- Do you think Joao Moutinho is moving to Everton THIS season?
