The price does seem high but look at the other transfers going through atm. The whole market is inflated. Ronaldo just went for 100m when he is 33 years old when he was only 80m when he was 24 and in his prime.

Us signing this player for 75 makes Juve signing Ronaldo for 100 look like brilliant bussiness, when you look at Ronaldo's level.
Aaah the good old "market is inflated excuse", When this incompetent club is buying players the market is inflated and it seems that '80M is new the 40M' as you said a few pages ago. But when Barca are selling players it seems the market is in a disinflation and ' 2.5M with a buy option and a couple of Mcdonalds Coupons is the new 40M'
If valverde plans to use the 4-4-2 then Willian is perfect for the right side. Enough technical skills to play for Barca and puts in hard work defensively. Especially needed when coutinho will be on the left side and is weak in defence. In big games last year on the right wing Barca had to play technically limited Paulinho and sometimes Sergio roberto (we saw how bad roberto was at right midfield against Roma).
As for Dembele, it takes the pressure off him. He can ease in more steadily. Remember he is very young.
