I don't want to believe in this value... I know that finantially Benfica is below the ground, but 25M€ for Markovic is ruinous. This guy will be a top 3 contender for the Ballon d'Or in 2 years! Mark my words! He got so much better since he joined Benfica. HE was a technically gifted youngster, but now he's a team player with exceptional skill.

25M€ for him it's a bargain...


top 3 contender? You think he will be better than one of these: Messi, CR7, Ibra, Ribery?

edit: 25million is a whole lot of money, I think the inflated prices for proven stars makes people think everyone should command 50 million $ price tags


Well, only messi is young from the people you listed. The others are 30 or more and will not be ballon top3 in a couple years.
So you are kinda wrong although the basis of your point is correct. Stands true for neymar, bale, rodriguez, hazard though, xD.

Neymar can only win Ballon D'Floor.

Who the hell is Rodriguez?

James...

Oh okay thanks, writing his full name would be better because there are bunch of players whose name/surname is Rodriguez.

The Daily Star on Sunday are claiming that Juventus want £50million plus winger Nani, 27, from Manchester United for star midfielder Arturo Vidal, who impressed at the World Cup for Chile this summer.

Awesome deal, you get rid of useless Nani and sign Vidal?

Just do it Manchester United.

50 million pounds is just waaaaaaaaaay too much though. Honestly, I'd give Nani to them for free just to get rid of his wages lol.
Cheaper options? Strootman or De Jong. Or go and buy some talented kid like Kovacic from Inter.

Don't know why LVG doesn't just buy half of his national team, lots of talented young players who would be very excited to play for him again. Dutch players have always panned out for Man Utd, also Dutch clubs don't charge ridiculous transfer fees.

I meant at/better than their current level, sorry. They will all be 30-34, I could see the Ribery/Ibra tailing off. CR7 if his knee continues to plague him.

And yea, the names you mentioned there can substitute for them.

I wouldn't sell Vidal for that little. He's irreplaceable and Juventus don't need the money. Same with Pogba.

Dunno, when I watched some Juventus games this season, I've heard from some English game commentators that both Pogba and Vidal were and still are basically "for sale" as long as the fee exceeds 40m € for each of the guys. I think it's... reasonable price. Another thing is that because of wage taxation in Italy, top earners in each club cost their employers A LOT, so maybe offloading them is worth reducing the price tag a little.

Markovic is better today than James was 3 years ago, with a similar high ceiling.

It's only worrying because the other top 4 in England have made/are making big moves already and we're just getting started.

Debuchy seems like a guaranteed arrival atm and there's lots of articles claiming it's Arsenal vs Juve for Alexis Sanchez. Assuming Alexis is going to cost 30million (if we can sign him) and Debuchy 10million thats a lot of money already spent by our standards. Especially a lot when we need another 2-3 good players after that.

About Sporting im just worried about the players we might have to sell ( William, Rojo, Slimani ), but we still have some signings to do, hope they are good we can't spend much anyway. We have lot of young talent in the team too that i think could step up to the main team.

Being a Portuguese football fan sucks.

André Gomes - 15M
Rodrigo - 30M
Garay - 6M (?!?!?)
Siqueira - finished loan
Markovic - 25M

Enzo - Valencia? Man Utd?
Gaitan - Man Utd? Atletico?
Oblak - Atletico Madrid?
Cardozo - Roblodonkospor FC? Borwichester Town United?

The Benfica yard sale goes on. Thankfully, we're buying toddlers from Brazil's secondary divisions to make up for the sales. Luisão (33), Maxi Pereira (30), Lima (30) and Fejsa (25 but permanently injured) are also set to stay and guide Benfica to victory in the veterans league.
