People are incredibly overemphiassing his transferfee. Its like a stone around his neck. And they are expecting only a shitload of goals in return, they dont care about anything
'oh he's insane for the team ? fuck that, he costed so much, he has to score 75 goals'.
Look at it like this. We got a player group with a value and an added transfer budget each summer. Key is that it improves.
Sometimes you buy 4 players at the right price and improve. Sometimes paying double or tripple the value for 1 player is better than buying 5 worldclass players at the right price for the same total amount, cause that one player fixes a gap
Imagine this
Buffon
De Ceglie , Cannavaro, Baresi, Maldini
----Redondo - Pirlo
Messi - Platini - Nedved
-------Ronaldo9
You got tons of substitutes around the level of Becham, Figo, Garrincha
On the market, is Christiano Ronaldo for 30mil,Lewandowski 30 mil, Veron 30 mil And Cafu, for 100 mil.
You will buy Cafu, and finish the perfect team
Thats what Higuain did for us. He completed the team. Its irrelevant the fee was 100 mil. Because spending it on Higuain was the best we could have done.

In the same way, Bayern munchen had players such as Ribery, Robben, ManBro, Alba, ..... .....
And broke the club record for a fucking cdm called Martinez
It was that very addition, that transformed the team and allowed Robbery to play full creative cause Schweinsteiger and Martinez completely had their back, and also allowed Lahm and Alaba to fly on the overlap
One player finishing the team can do that
Currently, Dybala is worth 300 mil to us. Cause you cant fucking replace that guy with almost anyone.
