131mln pounds... that's a ton of money, that could buy us Ronaldo with Isco on the side. I agree with Dev though, I think it's BS.
I think this can be used as a good example to our management as to why they should continue scouting the right youth. We paid nothing for him, and while I think 131mln pounds is excessive even given his talent and young age, I know we can easily get 50mln euros for him right now if we wanted to. I'm not saying we should scout young players just to sell them off, but even if we spent 50mln on say five young, prospective players.. Even if just one or two of them turn out good (not amazing, just good solid players) you'll probably get 100% return on your investment in todays market.
Juventus has the right idea regarding this in my opinion.
@Dev, I agree that there's nothing wrong with having another Borriello but I'd even go cheaper than that, I think he's going to cost 7-10mln euros and it'll be another Matri affair thats what I'm scared of
