Originally posted by paranoik0 we bought: Diego - awesome player with loads of potential, too individiualist though and the team is already too dependent on him, when he plays bad the effect is evident on the team Luis Fabiano - suposedly one of the hottest strikers around, i don't think he has scored a goal since he got to Porto, clearly missing.. luck Postiga - i've always liked postiga a lot but currently he is just playing like shit, a shadow of what he was 2 seasons ago Quaresma - seemed such an amazing player 2 years ago at sporting, turned into a twat that won't pass the ball to anyone, seems also to lack the ability to cross. can solve a game on his own once in a while though Seitaridis - world class right back on euro 2004, while becoming imediately a first team player in Porto, he isn't playing at the level he was doing it for Greece Pepe - another young promising centre back, fast and deadly on corners, is at low form too plus Areias, a pretty decent left back that somehow stays on the bench while Ricardo Costa plays to sum it up, all the new signings while very promising have been mostly on bad form, add that the fact that Maniche, Costinha and Derlei are neither playing like last year and you get a nervous team, unable to make 3 consecutive correct passes, with a midfield that isn't working at all

basically give them a year or two to gel and they'll be right back up there but it's agonizing for a fan like yourself to wait for them to do so
