Chelsea and city has bought enough already. They should have a minimum of respect of other teams squads.
Welll Porto usually sell there two best players....
They sold faclao 40million which is a goood deal also villas boad 15mill.. 55million
BEfore we have sold like 3 of our players Lucho gonzales - quaresma - lisandro lopez all in the same season.. and teams are used from the quality of players like - Pepe Carvalho Quaresma Deco Bosingwa lisandro lopez cissoko paulo ferreira bosingwa lucho gonzales anderson raul meireles... and soon hulk rolando iturbe james moutinho ....
we buy cheap they do there job we win trophies and then we have to sell them but last years we have kept some amazing players like this year falcao nerly staid but the money was too much for him to stay... hulk is an amazing player id he goes to epl he will be great strong pace skill power.
