I'm not saying that we don't overpay, we certainly do, and I've been very critical of Txiki on many occasions. What I am saying though is that this year, as well as last year, Real Madrid are the guilty culprits.
Naturally, Barca have done the same before (Alves and Caceres to name two), and Barca will do it again, but there is a roundabout yearly re-evaluation of players' values, and as last year with Cronaldo, this year the surge in inflation is probably going to come from Madrid.
It's not just Barca and Madrid that do this either, it's all big clubs - well, most big clubs.
Point is, we need to get in the market and then out of it before this situation escalates, that is my point number one.
My point number two is that Real Madrid are not just overpaying, but significantly overpaying for Di Maria.
That's all really.
