Moutinho Jo?o Filipe Iria Santos Moutinho, or simply Jo?o Moutinho born on September 8, 1986 in Barreiro) is a promising star of the Portuguese football (soccer) playing for Sporting Clube de Portugal. After showing great promise as a boy playing for his hometown club, Portimonense, as soon as Joao Moutinho turned 13 he had the chance to sign for one of Portugal?s big three to continue his football education. His sports-fanatic parents encouraged him to sign for Sporting owing to the club?s unparalleled reputation at nurturing home-grown talent. In 2006/2007, following the departure of veteran Sa Pinto, Moutinho was made sub-captain at just 19 years of age. Moutinho?s importance to the team is exemplified by the fact that he is considered too important to be included in coach Paulo Bento?s rotation system, having accumulated 84 consecutive appearances up to the winter break. Excellent performances in Sporting?s Champions League campaign led to speculation of interest from Manchester United. Nani Nani started his career at Real Sport Clube de Massam? before joining Sporting Clube de Portugal youth system. Nani is the latest outstanding talent to be produced by Sporting?s seemingly endless conveyor belt of world-class wingers. The same system that produced Luis Figo, Simao, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ricardo Quaresma appears to have unearthed another sensation capable of attaining the heights of such exalted company. Nani started his career at his local club Massama on the outskirts of Lisbon before joining Sporting?s famed youth academy. His speed, strength and trickery have led many to compare him with Cristiano Ronaldo, and like the Manchester United winger Nani has the added bonus of having a keen eye for goal. He is equally at home on either flank. If we sell Ronaldo, I'm sure we could pick both these up for a 1/5 of Ronaldo's sale, thoughts?
well ronaldo wont leave becaise OT is the best place for him hes settled in here and also moutinho is a CM and nani is a winger but id rather have hargreaves than moutinho
