Whilst searching for Porto transfer rumours i came across this their recent Transfer dealings, they dont exactly break the bank when signing players do they..

they are and have been really struggling financially for a while a bit like sporting. They have been a seller for profit for many years in recent memory, long gone are the early 2000s mourinho days

I think it brings it home to me just how lucky the Premiership clubs are to generate such income via TV.

 

[those were the days]

It's never really been their business model to spend a lot on a single player. In fact, they do the opposite and spend low to medium amounts on a lot of promising young players, some of whom get on sold for big profits and some of whom never go on to bigger things.

The Evanilson guy is a classic Porto signing courtesy of Mendes' South American network. He's meant to be a serious prospect and I'd be surprised if he wasn't sold for big bucks in future. They may or may not own100% of the player either.

They've raised a whopping £0.75bn in player sales over the last decade although, again, this might be a bit misleading as they don't necessarily always own 100% of the players

If Porto had been given the financial money afforded to premiership teams they would have been a European powerhouse over the last 20 years.... Up there with the elite in Europe..... Something doesn't seem quite right that Burnley are allowed the financial income they have but Porto don't... Seems a traveristy to football

I agree, we bemoan the control that Sky and the other TV companys have now, but if they did not provide the income they do, where would we be.

In saying that, how are Porto in such a dreadful financial state, given the hundreds of millions of euros they have been pocketing over the years.

Just as well; Neves would probably be their Captain right now!

[Ewok vs Wolf]

It amazes me that a club that sells good players across Europe consistently struggles financially. Shame really guess it is all about TV deals

I've just checked ruben neves is only 26th on the list of most expensive outgoings..... So potentially he wouldn't make their reserves... That just shows the quality they have had to sell.....

Yes this is the issue I always have. This place is covered with people saying they won't pay for Sky but are happy to watch the games via illegal streams, but they also go mad if we haven't spent a fortune on players.
