Just to elaborate on question below about if Barcelona were to come in for martial for 100mill would you sell? Well this has me thinking, the cash that Barcelona got for is a poisoned chalice for them at the moment because they are getting held to ransom by Liverpool and Dortmund, quoted close to 150mill for players not really in that money bracket because they have this money. So what does 100mill buy you these days? A 1 season scoring machine belotti? A dybala? Bale? I dunno there seems to be a gap somewhere that if a proven top talent like bale became available he'd go for less than the Dortmund kid? Or is bale now 150-200mill? I'm just using bale as an example here (insert a top player of your choice)

No keep him 100%. I read an interview with him yesterday and he seems to be happy aswell. Barcelona should have brought in replacements and done their buisness before they sold neymar, now everybody knows they have all this money and want a piece of it too. any decent player they want is easily 100 mill+ now.

Before the Neymar deal I expect Bale and Belotti would both have been valued at somewhere around the £70m mark. Now it's anybodies guess.

This time five years ago we'd have been talking £30-£35m. This time in five years we'll probably be looking at £150m.

Thanks for your opinions and keep them coming, it appears that Barcelona are not afraid of unsettling payers and teams at the moment to get what they want, do you see any reason why they wouldn't be going to athletico and paying the release clause for griezmann, much better player imo and probably better value in this market.

Fees have been pretty crazy for elite players for going on 15 years eg Crespo, Vieri both being over £30m twice.

It the increase in mediocre average ish players and young players that had gone mad.

Martial has more ability that dembele. No one is worth the prices quoted you're only worth as much as somone is willing to spend on a player.

I don't think Barcelona really expected him to leave. Their arrogance bit them this time.
