We're perceived as having lots of money. It's difficult to pick up bargains when they add £20m to the asking/starting price

Also his dad flying in Wednesday could well be to meet us as well as Barca. We did Torres medical in Barcelona could well do the same with Messi?
They were bought before the takeover.
For what it's worth, this point may have already been posted. mind, no author, just espn sources.
From the espn.co.uk football site, La Liga are siding with Barca in their interpretation of the contract.

below is the translated statement from the link to La liga's statement in that article.

In relation to the different interpretations (some of them contradictory to each other) published in recent days in different media, related to the contractual situation of the player Lionel Andrés Messi with FC Barcelona, LaLiga considers it convenient to clarify that, once the player's contract with his club:
The contract is currently in force and has a "termination clause" applicable to the event that Lionel Andrés Messi decides to urge the early unilateral termination of the contract, carried out in accordance with article 16 of Royal Decree 1006/1985, of June 26, by which regulates the special employment relationship of professional athletes.
In compliance with the applicable regulations, and following the corresponding procedure in these cases, LaLiga will not carry out the prior visa process for the player to be removed from the federation if they have not previously paid the amount of said clause.

Sources: Messi may have to miss year to leave
Barcelona believe the only way Lionel Messi can legally leave for free is if he commits to not playing next season, sources told ESPN.

Joe Hart, Distin, few years back mind
David silva 20 odd million.
Aguero 30 odd.
I agree and with that caveat I think on the whole we have bought well. Sterling Sane De Bruyne Edison Bernardo have been excellent business but I do think we often pay a full price.

Before the takeover both of them deals were. It’s a lot harder to buy players for bargains when the selling club know your owner has an infinite amount of money I guess.
