They're pros at making players look way better than they are by letting them do whatever they want, knowing the consequences in that league are likely to be minimal.
Remember when Coentrao was the second coming, Madrid basically binned him off after a year.
We don’t make players look better than they are. Not our fault y’all either buy them too soon, before they properly develop, or splash ridiculous amounts of money on price tags made precisely not to be met. You overpay and then act shocked when a player doesn’t fulfill your exaggerated expectations
My expectations for most of them are zero, because I'm wise to your tricks.
Countless big money players fall of a cliff as soon as they leave Benfica yet no matter how much shit you sell to idiots your points total is always around 80, it never has a meaningful impact on the pitch.
Alright bruh. Di Maria, Oblak, Ederson, Rúben Dias, Witsel, Bernardo Silva, Cancelo, Matic even Jimenez. And wait on Joao Neves and Gonçalo Ramos. Very Few clubs can brag of a list like this. Only players you have a real case are Felix (bought too soon but I agree w u) and Enzo (1)
Who was young player of the tournament at the fucking World Cup (what sold Chelsea to really go for the move). but yeah you’re right they only shine in the shitty Portuguese League (and in the shitty World Cup)
I was really hoping for a Carreras diddle to wind up the mancs. he’s a good size too so can imagine him as LCB/LB hybrid. kerkez seems more old school LB but fair play to him on his #numbers
We wouldn’t be looking his way if he cost 60m tbf that’s why I think he’s not gonna get outpriced out of a move. Solanke went for 65m last summer aswell

Play good stuff, dynamic, well coached in a shape, seems happy working under a DoF/structure.

Got nothing to do with the league, it's you, you're absolute con artists.
If Slot really wants proper full backs, then beat in mind you'll still have to teach him how to defend, so you'll have the TAA problem all over again
Also I think asking price might scare you off
They sold solanke for 65m
Much livelier a free transfer/low fee older player imo
