@Bd_irB_ll Yeah, I see the argument. But the modern market has changed things. Clubs aren't only buying CA, they're buying the lifespan of that asset. The issue with older is that....an inflated market doesn't allow you to replace expensive positions every 2–3 years and stay competitive.
If Spurs pay a proper fee for Gakpo (as they should), I wouldn't be surprised if we activate Rayan's release clause. His wage demands will probably never be lower than they are this summer. If he has a breakout season at Bournemouth, that changes very quickly.
Victor Munoz will link up with his Liverpool teammates for the first time next week at the AXA Training Centre, as he wanted to start training earlier than expected.
Alisson will also be present next week.
Alexis Mac Allister is set to be absent for slightly longer.

@4bdilahi@Hassan27392568@alcazar1975840@Bd_irB_ll i rate Bruno highly actually and it's a very good signing for Arsenal, but point is i can see why Fernandez would cost a little more and that it's ok
@alcazar1975840@Bd_irB_ll That's the thing though, asset valuation isn't separate from squad building anymore. Buying younger players isn't just about resale, it's about avoiding having to rebuild the same position every couple of years. in this market that's not sustainable.
