£70 mn for a MF with one year's worth of experience in a top league and RBL are refusing to sell. £70 fricking mn!! Why have a fricking transfer window if clubs get their panties in a wad over doing business? The European transfer market has gotten ridiculous in the last few years. You're only seeing small fishes moving. No major transfers except at massive markups to the uber rich clubs. frick em, I hope we meet those mfers in the UCL and twat the living daylight out of them.
There was a time when Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Romario, Zidane et.al moved from one club to another without clubs getting all pissy about it. As long as they're not going to a direct rival and you're getting paid a fair amount.
It's all a direct result of multi-billionaire owners dumping insane money into the market. Clubs are no longer clubs. They are personal prestige projects.

I think there's more to it than that.
Managers, in most cases, no longer have the time to rebuild their squad. You sell your best player for 70m and try to bring in 3-4 guys and it may take a year for them all to work out - or maybe on 2 of the 4 work out, and you've been fired 3 months into it because you're 6th in the table.
A star player already on your team(locked up in a contract) is worth a lot more than what you can buy for the money, usually.
