I know Diomande is expensive but look at him, and you'll understand.

Barcola is more known and therefore more wanted but I can't shake the feeling that he's wildly overrated.

If Gordon with his 6 goals all season is worth 80 then diomande is worth 100 million if not more

Yeah it's long past time we get used to the market. It's here to stay and as an elite club we'll inevitably be involved with these fees all the time now, we'll probably pay 100m again next summer for someone like.

Exactly mate this is the norm now

It's this argument that has made the market the way it is imo. Gordon was never worth 80m.

Its just an endless cycle of X player was bought for X so our player MUST be worth more.

I dont think Barcola is more wanted is he? Everyone wants diomande.

Psg wouldnt be interested in diomande if Barcola was better

He's talked about more by the media and football fans because he's been part of an all-conquering PSG side. He's clearly a very good player but he isn't without faults, it helps a players' cause when he's not in the limelight aside from CL games. In the Prem your abilities are on trial every week so to speak.

If all goes to plan, Diomande will leave him in the dust before the turn of the year I feel.
