Ronaldinho to Chelsea, Daniel Alves to Barcelona.

What the hell is this? Are they joking with the entire Europe or what? I really hope so... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

An example here could be Gilardino.

It's a much different situation with Alves. First of all, Alves has been incredible in Europe too... I don't rate the UEFA Cup much but it IS a challenging competition and it is hard to be able to always play consistently... something Alves has done. Secondly, Parma was built around Gila while Alves is "only" a full-back and he shines among many other great talents!

I get what you're trying to say though about when you consider a player to be great so it's pointless to go on with this...

Here I was clearing up why inflation has nothing to do with players value! So what if Juve were under pressure to sell for less ?! It just proves the point that inflation has nothing to do with players value.

But you can't the Juventus situation as an example to compare players' prices... it was a special situation and the those prices are not real... if you really believe they were well I don't want to say anything further... but apart from those deals, every single other one shows that the prices HAVE gone up: Pato, Walcott, Nani, Pepe, Gila...
