they paid £20M for him last month - double your money in a month may have been what we were hoping.

Sell on clauses can be on the full amount or above the purchase price - we will not know what PSG have.

I wonder how many of our previous signings have hefty CL winner clauses, Levy thinking, well that will never happen!

May do but then I doubt it touches the revenue earned on the run to winning it etc. does need to be taken into account when people say we earned 100M so that means we have 100M extra for players.

The thing is, we can't rely on being clever. Although admittedly he says many things on the subject, Poch said as much. We can't keep thinking we're smarter than the market and can eat the costs of going ostensibly 'smart' over going big and bold.

And there are definitely costs - costs to bring them up to speed, costs to shape them into the players Poch wants them to be, costs to overlook the errors and stumbles while they learn that would not be present in a more well-rounded signing.

The market definitely undervalues certain players (and overvalues others). But, on aggregate, good players cost money, and the better they are, the more they cost. That is a rough truth that is eternal.

And at some stage, we really do need to think about what we are - perpetual paupers on a shoestring budget, slowly grasping at leftovers two days before the window closes? Or bold, brave and rapid, securing the top-class players we want at speed, in time for pre-season, in time for adjustment, and before the other teams begin moving?

I hope Levy thinks we're the latter now. My fear is that he remains stuck with his habits, and sticks with the former.

Completely agree. Just look at Liverpool as an example. Identified the weak areas, moved to get swift, top drawer replacements, and yes they had to spend big, but it pushed them to serious title challengers and CL winners. We need similar swift, targeted action, this really is the time to do it.
 
on top of a way larger stadium then, they also had better player transfer revenue selling Suarez and Coutinho ... we might be comparable with them maybe three or four years from now and selling our top players to real ad barca.

You don't think we've got the cash to make say, two real statement signings? That might cost £120 million roughly? You don't think we'll have the cash for 3 or 4 years to do that? I'm not following. Apologies if i've misunderstood.
 
If he continues to link up well with Messi like he did in the last game he will be going to Barcelona.
Nothing will happen here until after the Copa
