But we must remember, transfer fees are not racist against money, the financial dopers make it impossible for our £1.5mill bid for Messi to be accepted. We are correct but Messi and his club will not accept this. £1.5mill is a lot of money, anyone should be happy with this, you could buy a Bugatti with that money and it is faster than Messi - who could say it is not? But this logic and reality is lost on teams who have no appreciation of money. When we accept £25mill for Adebayor it is not because of inflation in transfer fees, it is because we do not want to buy a Bugatti - unlike other clubs.
