I see Marca taking the micky out of Everton - Barcelona to find a special way to honour Everton for giving them 52.6 million euros for taking players that Valverde wanted to offload. 
And ....
The signing of Mina by the Camp Nou side can still be seen as a success off the pitch if not quite on it, after the club had only signed him in January for 11.8 million. Six months later and after a good World Cup, they have moved him on for almost three times what they paid for him, despite him never quite performing during his short stay.
Gomes' departure was not quite as profitable. Barcelona wanted 20 million euros for him but nobody was willing to put it on the table. In the end, the Portuguese will cost Everton 2.2 million for the loan and pay his wages in full, another favour from the club who also splashed 20.2 million on Digne.
Laughing all the way .....
