We have to play a CDM with moutinho.

witsel is a very much complete midfielder who can do a number of roles. will be expensive as hell though. reminds me of ballack slightly (miss him so much)

Portugal's leading paper O' jogo claims Chelsea are favourites to land Fc Porto's midfield general Joao Moutinho for £20m. #CFC

Yess!!!!!!Please let this be true please please!!

[Beepu 1,714]

20m is definitely reasonable compared to those crazy prices porto kept giving us.

A.Song (homegrown) + Moutinho sounds great to me for our double pivot

[bababoom 4,478]

Why is everyone raving on about A.Song? he isn't that much better than Mikel...

[mediator 2,026]

Troll spotted

Alex Song is a joke of a DM. No positional awareness at all. I'd rather play Mikel.

[lucio 5,418]

Why is everyone raving on about A.Song? he isn't that much better than Mikel...

he wins on average twice as many tackles as mikel per game , is more mobile and is vision is 40000 times better

They are a total joke of a Newspaper, but I am ready to jump at any bandwagon when it comes to Moutinho!

[Leif 6,006]

Is he even a playmaker? From what I see, although he's a good passer, he's much more like a robust, slower, more decisive Ramires. He's constantly running backwards and forward in pretty much a straight line, winning the ball and also playing neat passes; but I've never seen him as a player who dictates play.

Who are you referring to Song or Moutinho?

[Hutcho 8,443]

For 20 mil, not a bad choice. Don't believe it tbh. That report will probably cause a ripple effect and we will see the same report reprinted throughout.

[Pizy 18,453]

Think he'll definetly be a Spuds player next season.

O'Jogo? The link below says A' Bola.

Porto midfielder Joao Moutinho has been a transfer target of Chelsea and Tottenham during previous summers and it is now reported that he will be allowed to leave the club.

On many occasions have clubs tried to claw Porto’s prize asset away from their grasp and they will be able to this summer.

According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, Moutinho has held talks with Porto about his desire to leave the club at the end of the season.

Porto owner Pinta da Costa has rejected numerous bids for Moutinho over the past few years, but recently admitted he may be powerless to let his star player leave at the end of the season.

"It is hard to resist," said Da Costa. "We know that there are clubs with millionaires who have no limitations [in terms of] money, [such] as Chelsea and PSG."

Moutinho is thought to be valued by his club at £20m.

[Milan 17,862]

I guess there is not only one newspaper agency in Portugal

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

20m would be a steal for Moutinho. His buy out clause is 40m €

Problem is, he is 26 and not getting any better (even though quite good already) and no worldclass. Also he is only 1,71. Constantly downgrading the average height of our squad only results in weakening our defence of crosses, freekicks, corners.
