Sanches is a good player and likely a win for Swansea, but its really no different than what tends to happen all the time.
It kind of reminds me of when Fabregas went to Barcelona, it was a dream move! And then the harsh reality was that starting for Arsenal didnt mean he was going to play much for Barca and lo and behold, guess who comes back?
Its tough whehn you move to a big club and theres 3 or 4 guys ahead of you and its also tough to compare National Team success to club success unless Sanches gets bought by a club that plans on not conceding goals and holding out to win on penalties after 120 minutes.

I still really dont know how I feel about this, I mean, the kid is good and I have a bit of respect for taking less to play his preferred position more, but theres a limited number of those spots.
We shall see. I am trying to distance my interest in this season from the money aspect. I find the Finance of Football interesting but it also gets in the way of enjoying the game and ultimately, it isnt my money so why should I care?
I'm trying to separate the two varying interests, but yes, Liverpool certainly paid the 'English Premium.'
