Spot on. Would be shocked if anyone who watches the Portuguese league regularly feels differently.
Diaz and Bruno were both clearly head and shoulders above any player in the league during their time - Nunez is nowhere close. Taremi was comfortably better last year in the same position for me, and hell Felix as well showed a consistently higher level than Darwin at a much younger age despite that deal being ridiculed.
I just don't see it and never have. Stand by my initial reaction which was complete befuddlement.
Felix problem was the price tag but he was always and still is clearly very talented a big talent.
Darwin had a poor touch in Portugal…let alone in England where the pressing and quality is higher.
He scored a lot….in Benfica. You have RJ understands that if your a striker for venfucs or Porto you will get many Goals. They dominate every game they play. You have to be different in order to standout.
Guys like Falcão, Hulk, Jackson, Bruno, Felix, Dias etc.
Dost scored a lot more and was a 1 goal every 3 shots in Portugal Kind of striker but I don’t think many people would want him.
Jackson Martinez was way better then Darwin but he still was a major flop.
I honestly don’t know how Benfica keeps getting these huge figures when a lot of their product flops.
