I'm against signing Paulinho and Di Maria as well.... but at least those 2 have experience. These prices of 120m plus for very young players is a joke. At the moment they only have potential.
Missing out in him would be so bad, prices are fucked up at the moment. Let's get on with it. He have 2yr experience at the moment, not like Mbappe a half yr.

Di Maria is a POS.

Search twitter about his last game in the french league. Almost every PSG fans said he did bad again.

Don't get fooled because he had 1 good game last year, and that it was against us.

Deulofeu has one good game and Denis has a decent season at Villarreal where his numbers were 4 goals and 4 assists in the league, and people go mad.

You have Messi towards the end of his career where you need to furnish him either with established WC players or WC talents, and people instead want him to play with Denis and Deulofeu at LW after wanting Roberto at RB last year :facepalm:

What's next? We don't need to improve the midfield because Arda can get back in form too?

You can make that argument for any of the players we have ever signed.

Why did we sign Suarez or Neymar? Or Rakitic? Or Umtiti? Could have just made anyone else look okay with the right system.

Nothing wrong in buying WC forward proven player, rakitic was cheap so was umtiti, neymar was rosell's deal, im pretty sure barca lost more money on him and his father, trials, paying to spanish tax, then they earn on him, like 222 m is well earned money, i doubt it.

I think my concern is that Dembele is going to cost us 120M, while we already have Deolofeu and Denis who can fill in that left wing and give us probably as much as Demebele will and they will cost us NOTHING

That could well be the case, but who will take the risk of that? It's easier for board to take an "action" of spending millions in "proven market values" than hoping that some of the current players will rise to the task.
If they risk with current player and things go well, then they'll be heroes, otherwise they'll be crussified for not making a 100+ million euros call.
What would you do?

How many goals has 150 m worth dembele? He even played in weaker league.



Edit: 6 goals and 12 assists in second best team in germany, wow

We should either sign WC players or WC talents. I agree 120m or 150m is crazy. Even in this market, 80-90m should be the absolute maximum.

But you need to furnish Messi with the best talent possible. Either sign WC players or WC talents who got the ability to turn a game around. Dembele has that and his performances and numbers prove it. Deulofeu spent the last three years bouncing from one team to the other and spending it largerly on the bench because he was mediocre.

Denis' best season was at Villarreal where he was decent and had modest numbers.

We've half-assed so many signings lately and lost a player for 222m now. One way or another, they have to improve the squad. Going with Roberto last year and Deulofeu and Denis now would be a disaster and another troubling season having the best player of all time who I'm pretty sure himself would get tired of losing and demand better players.

Firstly, the price isn't set yet.

and Secondly, Dembele has more career goals in senior side than Deulofeu and Denis combined, while playing less, while being younger.

Honestly, to argue against Dembele because of Deulofeu and Denis is quite foolish.

You cannot have a player like Messi and not giving him the best chances to succeed as well as securing the future of the team.

This is not about a Galactico approach. If it was up to me, I would have kept Thiago and signed Kroos and Isco for 60m combined.

Did we do that? No.

Now we have to pay for our failures in the transfer market. Ideally La Masia players replace the players we need, but that doesn't always work.

Dembele being more expensive than Pogba isn't right tbh. I understand people being worried about the deal. such fee should be paid for someone already one of his best at his position and really young. I am not sure he is both. Obviously he is miles ahead of anyone we have and I like and want him. But I think the concern factored by the price has an argument
