How many fullbacks get sold for €70M though? For reference, Hakimi who was one of the best players in the league literally at Inda, was sold for less than that.
If it's anywhere near the €70M and that too for an Italian fullback, that's a pretty good deal.
Even the biggest attacking talent in Serie A for the past 2-3 years went for a similar amount.
If we are using the above two examples as a benchmark, then you can't say no to that fee. If JJ were a top 8 team in Europe, it would be a completely different story though.
I do agree with the general sentiment though that there is no trust in how we would spend that money.

Cambiaso is a phenomenon, which is why he could be so expensive for city. IF we had already a worthy replacement locked in it would be a different story, but I doubt it.
We need to build on players like Cambiaso and Bremer rather than sell them to build on Cabal and Gatti.
