That seems a bit crazy to me. Paying 2x just to make them feel better about it?

Fair point but consider enzos fee after a year in Europe. Worth it in the long run to keep signing cheap players from their league. How much is Alvarez worth now?That seems a bit crazy to me. Paying 2x just to make them feel better about it?
well what an absolute shame for barcelona that is, barcelona need to stop playing the woe is me card, they got themselves into this mess and didnt give a crap about other clubs why on earth they think other clubs should help them to get out of it is astounding arrogance

They probably see them as a key production line or something and see it as a good investment long term. Borderline bribe for first dibs on future talents! Weird one, but interesting nevertheless.That seems a bit crazy to me. Paying 2x just to make them feel better about it?

Would anyone take a chance on Fati? Even a loan if we loan them Cancelo?

Don't really get this argument. What about the huge number of players that doesnt become an Enzo or Alvarez? Why would it be "worth it in the long run" to pay twice as much as we need to, wouldn't that just set a precedent that we are always gonna pay more than needed? The reasoning that if we pay twice his release clause now it would for some reason make them wanna sell their players cheap to us in the future is backwards in my opinion, it will more likely have the opposite effect.Fair point but consider enzos fee after a year in Europe.

With that said, if City are willing to pay 20m for a player from the Argentinian league, we must be pretty certain that he will be a first team player with us. Thats a bit much for it to just be a CFG signing. And if we think this is an Enzo/Alvarez level player, 20m is still cheap.

We are willing to pay 10+add ons, so 20 if he becomes an Enzo/Alvarez. Not bad work.Don't really get this argument. What about the huge number of players that doesnt become an Enzo or Alvarez?
