In the world of finance they call it inflation. We have not reached that level yet.
It's as if you basically ignored everything I just said. If you don't think £20 in 1960 to £35k a week in 2011 is that level there's not much i can do.

What happened was Barca put a stupid clause that noone in his right mind would activate. And PSG did because of crazy money.
Ok now you're basically saying clauses are nonsense. No one thinks Belotti is worth 100M but that's the 'stupid clause' you quote.
Those clauses are there to protect the club from losing the player for less than he's worth. Most teams put them in.
We activated Silva's, as you know. He is no more worth 40M than Neymar is worth 200M. But it is what it is.

If you still believe this is normal its fine, do not need to convince, its my understanding vs yours.
Didn't say it's fine, said it's the way it is. I'm not trying to convince you of anything beyond the harsh reality that this is the way things are.
And your morals on it are selective at best. If you really believed your steadfast view on this you'd have given football up a decade or more ago. Or the day we activated Silva's release clause.
I'm not righteously justifying it, I'm explaining it. And this is my last comment on this matter
