Admittedly, when the realisation of what you had said dawned, you went back and erased the quote (no big deal btw) but but I have to ask: [after spending £30m on Mane] don't you think that Jürgen's signing of Gotze (should it happen like you now accept as possible ) goes against what you initially told us?...

Only teasing...
Honestly BBB...I don't consider Mane @30 or Gotze at @20 as huge players signing..I really don't considering that TV revenues to each club this season are up 55% and in relation transfer fees are also going up....When I say/said I don't see Jürgen going out and spending big money on world class players I still stick to it.
Truly Mane's price went up and if there were no TV deal I think he would have gone for around 20m....the fact that Southampton don't really need to sell and that the last place finishing team in the PL will pocket £100 million just off the TV deal shows how insane the market is.
He spent 14 million on Reus a few years ago which for Dortmund was big money but in relation to world football a drop in the bucket where worldies are now going for north of £60 million and fellas like Raheem going for £50+.
Would not surprise me when all is said and done his average spend/per player will work out around the £13 million mark.
