What if Porto had retained their best players in the last decade?

This front three would strike fear into the best of defences, and would also give Barcelona’s MSN a run for their money (as long as taxes aren’t involved, of course).

This South American trio, consisting of Radamel Falcao, Hulk and Jackson Martinez, have loads of goals in them, especially during their Porto days. There’s really no telling how much the club could have achieved if they had all played together.

Falcao, now a Manchester United and Chelsea flop, scored 72 goals in 87 appearances for the club during two seasons, while Hulk recorded 89 from 170. The Brazilian has spent the last four seasons at Zenit Saint Petersburg and remains prolific in front of goal.

Martinez, like Falcao, moved to Atletico Madrid after a goal-laden Porto stint. He left the side, having scored 92 times in 132 appearances. Things didn’t work out so well in Spain, the Colombian scored just three goals for the Rojiblancos last season, and has since moved to Chinese Super League outfit Guangzhou Evergrande.
