Year after year they lose their best players to other teams.

Forlan, Torres, Kun, Courtois, Costa all ridiculous world class players when they left Atletico and they are constantly able to replace them as though it's nothing.


Other teams that lose players of that caliber struggle for a while.

You forgot De gea and Arda Turan
But hasn't Atletico something like 200 m debt?

And yet most of these players had their prime at Atlético and dont do that good somewhere else

Do you even watch fotboll?

Most of those players have been even better at other clubs, De Gea has only gotten better, Kun is Kun, Torres went to tear up the BPL with Liverpool, Courtois and Costa were immense last season. Turan and Forlan I can't really judge.

Forlan was easilly at his best at Atletico.

same with porto and to some degree dortmund too. yeah it's pretty impressive - even more so if you support a club / follow a league that mostly buys already big names i guess...

10/10

And falcao

Southampton haven't done a bad job of replacing the majority of their first team either tbf.
