Brazilian and Argentinian Players

[BoyBlue_1985]

Why do most of them these days seem to be owned by 3rd parties? never see it with Italians or Spanish!!!
Tevez
Ramires
Neymar
I think Robinho before he joined Real as well

Because due to rubbish prize money & attendances the clubs don't have the money to shell out for players, therefore what they do is have a private company own the player and lend them to the club, hoping to make a profit if the player is good enough to be sold on to a european club. Speculate to accumulate.

Italian clubs and Spanish clubs do the same, but their method is to have players owned by more than one club (see Godin at Atletico Madrid, or some of Lazio's players) in order to reduce the financial burden on any one club.
