Whatever you say. Ney, Ter Stegen and Raki were not "bargains" when taking into consideration their contract situation and their reputation prior to us signing them. If Mathieu was 22 years old instead of 30, we would have probably paid 50m euros for him. Thats how we roll. People will get shocked the next time we buy a player under 25, smashing their expectation of what we will pay.

What a crock of shit!
It's the epl who are doing this. Even a club like Psg are thrifty compared to the epl clubs.
What we are about to witness is a shift in power from La liga to the epl. All the best managers have turned up there and with the TV deal even the lesser clubs are splashing the cash.
In three years the epl will start dominating European football.

Batra was 5th choice cb. Bailly was a starter. Plus we have those stupid clauses.
Just wait and see what we'll splash if we buy someone younger than 25 for once and who has more than a year left on his contract. People havent woken up because we have bought oldies and players with a year left on their contract so they mask what we're willing to pay.

Still better than splashing €80m+ on John Stones at least.

United are not buying Stones, who the hell pays 80M for a young defender. Everton doesn't want to back down. They are very ambitious, promised 80-100M transfer budget to Ronaldo Koeman. Both stones and lukaku might want to leave but everton doesn't want to sell them. They will stick to their demands.

Bla,bla,same shit every year. No matter how much money the EPL has,since players like Neymar,Suarez,Messi,Ronaldo,Bale,Modrić,Busquets,Carvajal,Pique are already in La Liga it won't happen. Not to mention that Pogba is 90 % to join La Liga. They can have all the money,RM can still pay the same wages to top dogs. And EPL teams aren't good enough to attract biggest of the biggest. It's been like that in this whole Messi+Ronaldo era.
