The guy is just f class, just shows how good our board is when we sold him for 30m quid, I mean, get this, Arsenal could probably send him packing to City, PSG or whatever for 80m in his last 12 months, but they still choose to keep him... yet we chose to lay off one of our most efficient transfer (cost/value) in a shameful manner.
The only minus compared to Paolo is his age, he will be 29 by next year, while Dybala is still 23 and is yet to reach his prime.
While I agree with the general point that is popular around this forum that we are overall bad at selling players, the comparison with regards to Alexis is not completely fair in this instance. Alexis was atrocious with us, and has been on fire over at Arsenal, so naturally what he can be sold for will be wildly different. Not to mention how player prices has skyrocketed in just the few years since he left.
But yeah I don't want Alexis back either. There seems to be something with the Camp Nou pitch that for some reason turns him into Bambi. All my memories of Alexis at Barca, save for the El Clasico lobbed goal, is him slipping and sliding inside the box. The guy is an absolute killer for Chile and with Arsenal. It's weird.
