You're missing the point here. When you talk about guys like Coutinho, Mbappe, Pulisic or whoever, you aren't talking about what they would cost *now* in terms of what a team like Arsenal should be going after. Coutinho was had for £12m under five years ago! Salah would cost another 50%+ after his performances this year.
Nearly every great young player right now was a gamble a year or three years ago that a different club took.
Now, I love the Pool signings of getting the best player available to them in keita/salah/vvd that apparently bigger clubs didn't seem interested in, while spending big money.
Today we're linked with Cristian Pavon from Boca. Had never heard of him! Looked him up, seems great to me. Young, high upside attacker. Just go for it.
