Did I miss something?

“I just wanted to say, I really like your car.”
“Thanks, it’s a pretty good car. But come on, yours is much better.”
“You think?”
“Yeah, of course. It’s was the fastest car in Europe last season and it won every race by a mile. Mine’s nowhere near as good. Its engine’s temperamental, it doesn’t drive well abroad and it won’t start in the cold weather.”
“I’ll tell you what, I’ll give you my car plus £40m for your car.”
“You must be joking. Why would you do that?”
“I’m serious.”
“What, really?”
“Yeah.”
“Ok then, I'd be an idiot not to do that”
Sometimes events defy logic. The transfer of Inter Milan’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barcelona for a fee of around £40m plus Samuel Eto’o is one such example.
