The guardian says we are interested. Couldn't find a thread.
It's the transfer forum, they are all shit threads. When in Rome ...Both the DailyMail and TheSun are linking us with him.
Also that's a shit thread, sort it out Moses!
Credible!? Since when?As the OP, you are required to provide a credible link to this story as well as FM-stats and a YouTube-clip.
Credible in the eyes of some, not all.Credible!? Since when?
Left back is fine with the in-form Evra, on-loan Fabio and brand new BüttnerIf we do want him, we'd be paying more than Benfica did (EUR5.5m?).
He is an Argentina international, so has more experience than Smalling and Jones, let alone the likes of Wootton and Keane.
But, not sure central defence is most pressing area (cf. centre midfield and left-back?)
He's 26 and still just barely on the fringes of a mediocre Argentina defence so I don't think international experience is one of his assets.If we do want him, we'd be paying more than Benfica did (EUR5.5m?).

Or Sakho...Only Hummels deserves to be signed
The other 10%?He's more of a Real Madrid player than a Benfica player. Real own 50% whilst Benfica owns 40%.
Why can't transfers be more simple?
Well, it's the only way for some clubs to get top-level players and be able to have more competitive squads. I see nothing wrong with it, and again, the third-party-ownership ban that FIFA wants to implement, will end up screwing second-tier clubs and widen the gap towards the biggest and more resourceful clubs in Europe.He's more of a Real Madrid player than a Benfica player.

They belong to a private investment fund, if I'm not mistaken.The other 10%?

Some trust company that's in business with Benfica.The other 10%?
I see nothing wrong with it either really. Not the Real Madrid bit. I don't agree with the third party ownership at all.Well, it's the only way for some clubs to get top-level players and be able to have more competitive squads.

It says SAF's brother has been coming to Lisbon to watch him play several times. Does SAF have a scout brother? I had no idea.
