Quote: John_D "They did sell (I think) Willian to Anzhi for a huge mark-up, so they probably don't need to sell right now, but their model is largely based on picking up South Americans on the cheap, giving them a route into Europe and selling on for profit.'"
I remember reading they scout mostly Brazilians instead of spreading their scouts too thin across South America. Apparently they have a little Brazilian community there that helps the new players settle in quicker.
