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)

when i say inflation i'm not relating the literal inflation rate of different countries because the football word has it's own economic system in certain respects. all i'm saying is so much money is being thrown around these days so clubs have been asking for even more because of the demand and precedants that are being set every year... i mean 80m for ronaldinho +40m for wages for one player!?!?!? even tho it dont go thru, these sorta figrues are unheard of. so ya 40m is too much if you compare it to cafu in his prime cuz even he wouldnt have gone for nearly that much cuz it was 5-6 years ago, because transfer fees have gone up a lot since. if you think 40m is too much for alves now, thats fine cuz you just think he's overrated.

Sure the football world has it's own finances ... And in today's football, with teams like Chelsea and Madrid willing to part with a fortune each summer .. Prices are bound to go up. And as u said, prices are unheard off ... SAF was complaining 2 summers ago about how expensive it is to buy players these days .. Again, Chelsea and Madrid (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) And now that these billionaires are buying their stakes at EPL teams, I wont be surprised if in a couple of years these figures would be the norm (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

40M to me, is the value of proven players. i.e. Nesta would be considered around that range ...

In any case, who cares !!! I'm just here to enjoy the football (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
