Wasn't there itk that we would spend £70 million on someone if we considered them exceptionally talented cause i would put this guy into that bracket
In my opinion we only have a problem if City, PSG, Man Utd, Madrid, Barca or Man City come in for a player.
If the player wants to go to us and his club can’t generate interest from one of those clubs, then I think the fee then becomes a bit more sensible.
The market is only inflated to the point that it is because of those other clubs seeing a £50m deal as small change. There’s another market for everyone else and everyone knows that.
IMO that why there was a story about City being interested in De Ligt even though that interest appears to be far from as concrete as it was first reported. If you’re Ajax you want to drive the price up.
All my onions. Could be talking shite of course!
