With current prices, 75-80 Million. But again, I remember we sold Kaka for 64 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Brilliant business. We got the best of his career - let him go just as he was sliding. And that slide happened at Real. We shifted a past it player and got 64M for him. Genius.

Agreed about the general sentiment on the match, this showed that we still have a bit left in the tank. Whether that can carry us throughout the entirety of the season is something else, but the sheer determination and grit we showed was inspiring and brings back hope that all is not lost.

As for the Locatelli debate, d'Arc I think Locatelli has had both good and bad games, and he's defensively very solid, but he's also had bad games, and the fact that he doesn't have the qualities of a regista but is being played as one makes him look worse than he is imo.

If we go the 4-2-3-1 route than that's solved, we play Sosa and Loca next to each other and we get the best out of both (Sosa's passing ability + Locatelli's defensive work)

Re the Donna debate. I honestly can't see us letting him go unless it's some seriously obscene offer (over a 100m imo) He's billed as the next Buffon and with good reason imo. He's a once in a generation player. No way we'd let him go for any run of the mill offer.

I totally agree.

I think the takeover (if it ever happens) will have a huge say in it.

True. Once the deal closes at the end of February/beginning of March I can see talks for his renewal accelerating
