Have seen couple other threads re Messi is great, Messi - Let's buy him!
But on a more considered actual debate, and similar to the Kaka attempt...
What do you feel it would realistically take for an actual approach to be considered worthy of consideration by Barca.
At the end of the day, they are an astute business.
I look at where were are in our current development, visions for our future, and believe the magnitude of this one signing, would achieve so much in terms of worldwide recognition and progression on and off the pitch.
We will no doubt waste a lot more money trying to find the right formula in the coming seasons.
But for me, £150m plus Robinho would at the very least kickstart a process similar to Kaka.
Allied to wages of £1m a week - £48m a year (I know this sounds ridiculous, but he earns £29m a year now, what we would make off the back of him in terms of success and new fans)
£300m is a small investment in the grander scheme of things as it would progress us five years in two minutes.
The boy is 22-years-old - an agreement with Barca to allow him to return in three to four years (when he is at his peak) would also, I believe, deliver something of a unique proposal, again worth of consideration.
Our owners dream big, admittedly, the boy is Barca to his core, adored by them, but for the mere issue of debate, certainly attainable in terms of the market level we operate at.
Clearly Kaka had the final say, but there is no such thing as bad publicity. How can it be ridiculed going after the best player on the planet.
At the very least, it will 'smoke out' other quality players who will see how high our aspirations are.
