They're like the South American version of Belgium!
Yeah. But they can't make chocolates can they?

€30m is a shit loan of money for someone who has been scoring for fun in a weak league. I'd rather take a chance on Hooper
The portugese league is pretty darn strong. It is ahead of France in the coefficient and thus gets three champions league places for a league even though they only have 16 teams. Porto, Braga, sporting and Benfica have all consistently done well in europe in the last 10 years.
If Benfica had beaten Chelsea they would have nicked 1 of the French CL places & nobody would have complained if we had spent this on someone who'd done this in France - As long as he's not French
I can see how this one pans out, we fail to match his release clause, Porto refuse to sell but we insist he is our only target all summer. At 23:59 on the last day we say we will match the release clause but complications with third parties, the player, Santa Claus mean we failed to complete it but hey we really, really tried to break our transfer record and sign him but instead we sign Hugo Rodellega.
Call me cynical but we've all seen the movie before and director Levy isn't very creative with the plots in the franchise that is Spurs Transfer Windows.

President doesn't seem to be a prick
So Itk suggests that AVB was telling porkies (the scamp).
Are there any Portuguese members that could give us more insight? Is he the Uber-Striker that his record suggests? Is he a number 9 or does he tend to drift Ade style?
you're never on to a winning argument when you have to resort to using Jardel as an example...Do did jardel and many others, which doesn't necessarily mean they do it anywhere else.
Wouldn't we be better just hiring the proto scouts than forking out €30m on someone who had just one season at proto? To much risk for me.
