I think he was Porto captain quite early but he didnt play much in his last season for them. Maybe he was injured, not sure. He's been great for Wolves though, and I think he'll make to the World Cup squad because Danilo Pereira (Porto's DM) has a long term injury
Just did a little research. Porto had a shake up and changed their style of play to a more brutish, long ball and muscle style of play which Neves was way out of sorts for this style of play so he followed the manager who made him captain who was now at Wolves.
He's looking very good in the Championship, I'd almost value that more than looking good in the Portugese league, not sure if Sporting, Porto or Benfica would win the Championship first time of asking. It's a far cry from 10 years ago.
