He deserves every penny he gets. He works non stop all the time.He is a special player because he plays Playmaker and Defensive Midfielder.

I've noted on other threads that Portugal doesn't have many options at the "play-maker" position other than Deco. Could this guy be it? Who else is there?

not a fan od geeko(deco) but moutinho is a young agile play who can play defensive midfield as well as offense he neutralizes the defense but his playmaking abiltilies you can tell i am a big fan of his. i hope to god he is the answer to the puzzle we portuguese are looking for for the nt. custodio, vaz te,ricardo costa, carlos martin, hugo viana and cr and hopefully rq. we can be dominate in the future its in this guys hands.

I still think we can't count out manuel fernandes, and helder postiga, who everyone has counted out.

Postiga has really played much better in the last 4 weeks and should get the start for Portugal vs Slovakia.

Fully agree.

Looks like Scolori will be calling Moutinho to the National Team
