Would he leave Monaco? They won't finish above P$G anytime soon and looks like his mate Falcao is off. Obviously he is being paid a shit load of money but one can dream.
I am loving Colombia btw. I've been supporting them for the off and my mate in work (artist on the side) mocked me up a hand made Colombia shirt. I'll get a few pics of it. We bought a plain yellow t-shirt for €2.50 and he created the replica shirt using just markers and tipex. No way was I actually buying an official shirt or anything mainstream like that. #hipster.

He is the absolute fucking business.
Yep agree with all the above. Had him in my fantasy team from the start of the tournament and got Colombia backed to reach to semi-finals. Marvellous player! He'd cost well over £40 million though, didn't Monaco buy him for that last year?! If he is valued at £40 million, which I very much doubt, we should use the Lallana and Moreno funds and make a proper signing to state our title ambitions.
I would have liked quintero when he was at pescara. He was inconsistent, but the talent was there
Porto just take the piss with their scouting. Their climate and culture does make it easier for young South Americans to adapt but it's still insane the players they churn out.
Monaco paid 45 million Euros for him, after the world cup he is having he will be worth probably 75 million and the only potential places I could even see him going would be PSG, City, Barca, or Real.
There was definitely something fishy about that transfer though. Monaco signed Moutinho and Rodrigues at the same time for a combined fee. A larger % of the combined fee was assigned to Rodrigues as Porto owed money to Moutinho's previous club due to a sell on clause.
Does that make sense? I don't think I've made that up. Ha.

Considering how many great players come out of Porto, I'm not so sure it's purely down to having fantastic scouts, they clearly have a fantastic set up which makes these players the players they are. If we got them before Porto they'd probably just go Pacheco on us.
It's easier for the young players to settle and acclimatise to European Football at Porto. The culture is some what similar to their home countries, the standard of football isn't as competitive and they are under less pressure to perform immediately.
I think they can utilise 3rd party ownership or part owenrship there too. They wouldn't have to pay out an absolute fortune buying stars in South America if that's the case. They must have a deal with one of those South American companies who basically own players. It's ludicrous the players that pass through there.
Nice! Sexy finish too.
Awesome. His profile is the type of player we need to go after: 20-23 from a top club in a midtier euro league who will cost 20-30m.
Don't let facts get in the way @Whirly
