Just further to my point about Eduardo and the seleccao...here's a very good example: the African Cup of Nations is currently taking place. Some of these goalkeepers playing for their countries are not first choice keepers for their European clubs, yet that doesn't affect their performances at a major international tournament. I don't see why it should be any different for Eduardo! Eduardo has looked his usual calm and confident self in the Cup games he's been given, and Im sure it would be the same for the seleccao.
Lastly i don't share some of the notions I've read recently that all our big players...Garay, Axel, Javi etc...will be sold in the summer. Gaitan will go because of the huge money that will be ofered for him, but not neccesarilly these others. There is a real growing feeling that Benfica are a rising force in Europe again, and indeed this season we have been one of the in-form teams in all of Europe. Add to that the great profits we have made on just 4 players in the last 18 months (almost 100 million euros), plus the Champs League revenue..and we are in better shape financially too. No club came even close to signing any of our big players this January window...and (Gaitan aside) this may continue...I hope so!
