I think the difference is in what currency you are listing it in. Its 30 in Euros and 26 in pounds. But unscrupulous journoss often play on this ambiguity and pretend not to know what currency it was in originally. The correct way would be to state both together.There were 50 odd pages added so I didn't read through them all of course, saw a few themes, his form at RM & also saw people complaining about the price for a back-up RB (especially on top of his RM form & the price they paid) - but like I said if it's £26m for a guy who ends up taking the role of 3 players then I'm not sure I buy the monetary fearing argument.
The form argument, I'm on the fence with, clearly he was good for Porto, and clearly he wasn't as good as hoped at RM, poor even. I'm always willing to give players a chance, sometimes a change of scenery can kickstart a career back on track - think it's foolish to expect the world from a player & foolish to rule them out before seeing them kick a ball for your team.
Cheers, that's a really useful point you bring up that significantly changes the points I made in the post - I added a range as to not offend either side of the fence of those who like to quote top dollar and those who quote bottom. Seems I still offended someone though. If it's been done at £26m then great, that's in the range I quoted.
Whilst that's great and all it makes little difference to my actual point. I hadn't read the specified price, because these things change daily, today it's £26m, I'm sure it's changed a few times already - hence why I gave a ballpark range from the numbers I'd briefly seen. How that's the discussion that came from my post is beyond me.I think the difference is in what currency you are listing it in. Its 30 in Euros and 26 in pounds.

The Euro price, with the price in pounds in brackets next to it. €30million (£26.5 million).
Lord give me strength :)I'm not sure how anyone could be offended by your price range, but either way If Gylfi baby goes for £50 million it will look at a bargain.
I wasn't actually picking on your post really, just a tangential discussion about cost numbers.Whilst that's great and all it makes little difference to my actual point.

Think Danilo will be good addition.
Screw you @mosssideblue, I'm not doing that to @leewill31 :). But if you come around here with that bargain shit.... :pOh No, you have said the "Bargain" word to @Dax777 - standby for a bollocking from him :)
Tbh I trust Pep rather than Madrid fans..No Madrid fan I met think so.
I hope Pep proves everyone wrong and let Danilo turns out the best CB in the League.
He has pace, skill & hard work, he just need to improve his decision making which hopefully Pep will help him with.
I know, I've seen your posts & your clearly friendly enough. Just 2 of the 3 responses I got were talking about me using £25-30m rather than stating £26m, not exactly the point I was trying to get across but hey, happens a fair bit on these forums as I'm sure you've noticed.I wasn't actually picking on your post really, just a tangential discussion about cost numbers.
The guy who objected to your original post, really just picked on what he could objectively oppose. Perhaps he disliked your view in general but coul dnt find anything else to pick on. I get similar challenges challengesto my opinion all the time.
There is a particular guy who specializes on focussing on the irrelevant. :)
Lord give me strength :)
Voooommmmerrr! I'm trying to make a liar out of @mosssideblue. You are making it tough man :pBargain, is what it would be.
