    Hey guys, just wondering about a certain Benfica player named Jonas. How good is he and why is he more unknown/underrated then other strikers around Europe?

    Your black jerseys are pretty nice. I still just don't like your home jerseys

    He's good but he's aged 32 already. He spent three seasons at Valencia so being a Madrid supporter I'd imagine you'd know about him

    Yeah but at Valencia he wasn't anywhere near the level of production that he's showing now with Benfica. I guess it's just the teams built around him that play a factor along with the competition he's facing regularly. I was hoping for a bit more insight but thanks, I appreciate anything I can get at this point.

    Good luck to you and Benfica next season. :thumbsup:

    Talisca to Wolverhampton Wanderers for €25 Million according to A Bola.

    How can a championship team afford that? Beats me. Good business by Benfica.

    Danilo will sign today on loan from Braga. Benfica can buy for €15 million at the end of the loan. Played well enough for Valencia last season.

    On loan is ok but million is a lot of coin for a defensive mid in Portugal

    I got a lot of shit for standing up for Andre Almeida but he has been so good and has made the RB spot for Benfica his own.

    Hope he has a good season he has grown a lot as a player

    Talisca and Salvio wouldn't be missed as much as Renato and Gaitan

    Granted but one thing that I have learned over the years of many players in and out, no one is replaceable. Gaitan starts well and fizzes out by mid season, Renato ? That is a really difficult one but I have faith things will work out.

    But we all know it's a rule that Sporting just doesn't win the league no matter what. They may have kept it close in terms of points, but we all know they were never really in it ;)

    Rafa sure would look good in a Benfica uniform. Reports that we are challenging Porto for him. Hope it happens. I love this player, going to be a huge star......

    He would but i'm just so sick of the media when it comes to Rafa.

    One day he's going to Benfica, the next day Porto, the day after that Tottenham, the day after that Everton.

    No one has yet come up to the 20 million dollar buyout clause. This is the first time I hear about Benfica and right at the same time they mention that they may have up to 100 million in sales.
