I wouldnt pay €20M for Mascherano imo.Would be a bit desperate from us.I dont think Beppe is going to spend that kind of money on 30+ yr olds unless they're coming for free or cheap sums.Our revenue is not high enough to spend lavish sums on older players

Cheap sum in this context would be around €10-12M.

If Barca are asking too much,we'll just move on.We are seeing if we can exploit another opportunity not that he's a must want target.

So when has Beppe dropped significant sums on 31-32 yr olds ?

12M for Tevez when he was 29

21 for Mandzukic when he was 29

Thats about as significant you could get.
Well difference both of them werent considered best on their position when we bought them, also their clubs wanted to sell which is not case with Javier.

Anything around 15m would be fair. Its hard to know what a player his age is worth because if we get 2 or 3 great years and even a CL then he could be priceless.

Assuming when we got Pirlo he wasn't a free agent rather same length away as Mascherano and assuming we knew what Pirlo was going to contribute for us, would anyone have been OK spending 15-20m on Pirlo coming from Milan if he had a couple years left on his contract?
