EPL overpays for homegrown talent threefold.
That's the rule of thumb.
He was never worth a lick over 15-20, but he's english.
How better to feed the hypemachine than to pay 3x more than a guy is worth?
And sorry dreamers, Pato really isn't worth the 35m we were offered. You don't sell on "potential", you sell on worth.
We are going to regret not selling this winter. Fuck.
Milan accepted the 35 mi offer by PSG. Pato was the one who didn't what to go.
A player worth what teams are willing to pay for them. If you don't accept that, you'll get crazy when thinking about cases like Cissé, Carrol, Torres, Robinho, Ronaldinho and, of course, the most absurd one, the Ibrahimovic one, that Inter sold for 40 mi and got a player better than him as a bonus for god knows what!
Selling Pato for anything less than 35 mi is plain stupid. He's young, already had his good momments, very famous, playing for a big european club, I don't think that his contract is near to the end and PSG offered 35 mi for him.
B&G can't think like... "oh, Pato is not playing well! That means that his price must be low". Milan lives the capitalism game and capitalism means that you must paint your shit yellow and tell everyone "hey, that's gold!".
I'm also tired of waiting for Pato playing well and the fact that he doesn't even struggle himself on the pitch makes myself stop believing on him. Still, he's already painted yellow and marketing is already conviced that he's gold so, 35 mi or get the fuck out.
I loled when I saw that pic! 
I'm not angry though.
Really.
