He's a rebel going out on a run for Barca. I like it.
Fuck it, just sign the guy.
Not for 150 mil. He is in a though spot, but he will understand if Barca doesn t splash that kind of money on him.
Why is there the presumption that by losing neymar and getting that 220M, We some how supposed to get two world class player with that money??
If you think neymar got off cheap for 220m, Then why is it a surprise when dormund ask 150M for demebele, It makes sense.
If you think neymar was over-priced and non-deserving of that 220m paid for him, Then it just show how inflated the market is, And it isn't a surprise dortmund is asking 150m.
So it's not robbery, It's just the way things are now, We lost neymar and got a big pile of cash, We go on the market and purchase a player with the closest level and future potential as neymar, We may end up spending half of neymar's money, Two thrids, Or most of it.
It makes sence from their strategical point of view. They are taking advantage of our situation.
But it doesn t make sence from economical/football point of view. The guy is a great talent, but that s all he is for now. We got Neymar for half of what BVB are asking and Neymar
was way more established player at that point.
The presumption, that we will get 2 wc players for Neymar money, was and would be quite correct in any other transfer window with any other club in any other situation. Is Dembele worth more that Ronaldo/Bale? Is Coutinho?
I don t think so.
If our board doesn t want to submit to extortion, that does make sence and it s fine by me. Even if we have to play, with what we have. I think ppl are panicing for no obvious reason, based on 2 bad games, after neymar shock, against
strongest club on the planet atm.
The problem is, that this board don t know how to hande themselves. They are like an elefant in a jewelry store. If they end up panic buying DiMaria for 50 mil, they ll just exchange one reasonable decision for a truly stupid one.
I d rather splash 150mil on 1 single player like Dembele, than buy DiMaria for 50 mil.
