Barcelona have bid €80million (£72m) for Liverpool's Brazil midfielder Philippe Coutinho.  :yikes:

Good price in today's market if they get him.

Increasingly obvious it's a bubble, which at some point will pop. All of a sudden no-one will be willing to match expected TV rights on the next deal and suddenly clubs will find themselves with ludicrous financial obligations and much less income, or something of the sort. It may be a long time till it pops who knows but it's getting so far out of line with any kind of sense.

I reckon these fees are about three times what I'd say would seem appropriate (whatever that means when we're talking about buying footballers). £24m for Coutinho, £25m for Lukaku, £18m for Walker seems alright; big money for top players but fair enough. It's just gone ballistic in the last year or so. :lol:

 

This market is mental.

The rate of it getting out of control has accelerated so much in the past year. Generally speaking, above average players go for what you would have paid for an excellent player just a few years ago.
