Well Jose said Zlatan is the best player in the world .. so if Ronaldo guh fi 80 million its only logical ....

Considering that Zlatan contribution to his team is a greater percentage than Ronaldo and Kaka, it is only logical.

When since is a player's contribution to HIS TEAM the basis of a valuation? It is far more complicated than that. By that measure, Tevez must have been worth 100M to West Ham. Zlatan is in no way shape or form a 9OM man by any measure; he is a good player yes, but no Ronaldo or Kaka. This is Jose's way of trying to get headlines...nothing more.

is also WHO can afford it......

That's why ZLatan's value at 90M makes no sense, as nobody nah pay that for him as only RM and Manu have that kind of money and neither of them want him.

I didn't say that it was that alone. Zlatan had a better Serie A season than Kaka and he single handedly carried the team's offense. Given that Milan and Inter are two high profile clubs it is only natural that they would use a comparable like Milan and not the Tevez/West Ham scenario.

let's see. on the other hand it could be a "don't even try" ploy!

Okay - I accept that, but dem still smoking crack! I think your other post is right - it is just a "don't even try" ploy, but nobody at any CL club will take him, not in Spain or England anyway...so I don't know who they are trying to ward off.
