How could anyone be suprised that Portuguese teams sell their top players, they haven’t got many big, rich clubs in their league, others have more, add it up…

I think money is a huge part of it, but also the fact that maybe these Portugese players aren’t far from clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona and it’s their dream to play there.

It would be interesting to see where Portuguese clubs would be now if they could hold on to their players. To be fair, they sell a top star for a lot of money and then go out and buy a second tier South American – it’s the food chain of football of which Europe wins and South America, at club level, loses.
