50 odd million, we will make a pretty small profit after wages. Its cost neutral for a couple of years, i dont like the deal but am happy he is here.
He won't be going back to Barca. If he does, he'll have done very, very well and we make a profit.

Look at Valencia..they finished fourth and I thought we outplayed them and looked much better on the ball (despite the loss). Massive reach to say more than two sides have proven stronger in Europe. A Chelsea side that was the weakest its been in years outplayed Atletico.
If the technical quality in the Spanish league is so great, then how did Sandro ever get a game?
Sevilla won three Euro cups in a row, Real 3 CL, Athleti have won 3 EL since around 2009 Barca have won 3 in recent times. They have had a strangle hold on the competitions in recent times. You just have to look at Coaching license numbers per country Spain out numbers England 9-1 just on these figures alone. Coaching, youth development and technical ability is streets ahead in Spain it’s not even worth arguing.Barca and madrid, yes. We looked much better on the ball than fourth place finishers Valencia. Their only chances came on terrible individual errors. We picked apart their defense with smart passing and good skill. You are massively overrating their league. They looked a very average side.
The technical quality in La Liga is miles better than the EPL
Less time on the ball means more mistakes that’s true but there’s a reason why English sides get smacked in Europe running around like headless chooks doesn’t work that well against composed teamsIt's really not, they just have lots of time on the ball. The premier league is much faster.
The list of Spanish players who were highly regarded who came over here and couldn't adapt is quite high.

The EPL has a high standard due to the influx of cash and foreigners and it’s a league focused more on athleticism.
La Liga is a far higher standard technically it’s not even up for debate there’s a reason why the best players in England ain’t English
30m now is like 54 in 2020, not to mention if he’s a flop we can’t send him back (like a loan after expiry) and we’ve lost 30M, we’ve been had.50 odd million, we will make a pretty small profit after wages. Its cost neutral for a couple of years, i dont like the deal but am happy he is here.
Ultimately its cost neutral over a two year period after wages, we will make a small profit id imagine for our trouble bu in a single digit millions. Like i said i am happy he is here but i dont like the deal.
It really isn't, outside of Sevilla, Barca, Real, Ateletico, and Valencia there isn't any real quality, and the top sides usually steamroll anyone outside of that groupHead and shoulders better

This is worse than a loan deal, if the signing flops we are out of pocket by 30m if it is a success he gets taken back to Barca in 2020 for a fee of 54m which will probably just about cover inflation.Utter drivel
