6 hours ago6 hr Great signing .. we needed goals.. Cole and him for 25-30 goals.. 15-20 for Jao.. rest of the team for another 15-20 — that’s top 4 done.4 hours ago, Vialli96 said:Completely Mugged…again, ridiculous fee for a player no better than Barkley/DrinkwaterSeriously.. Barkley was a talent but couldn’t keep fit.. everyone knew drink water wasn’t it..

If he was signed for £60-70m, I don't think people would be as worried, but £117m is a hell of a lot of money for one player. For that money, I want Palmer levels when he is at his best, and Rogers hasn't shown close to those levels yet.Not worried about the fee .. they just sold Tielemens too .. I am sure we will see one of Jackson / delap / Garnacho go there - Elliot went back to pool too they have no attackers left.

2 hours ago2 hr Very good player and very good signing, but we've definitely overpaid. That being said, it isn't my money so who cares.
1 hour ago1 hr Massively overpaying for a Man City youngster you say? Who would have thought?Hugely flawed player who brings nothing to the team that isn't already there (other than belting one in from distance every 10 games or so). Another idiotic signing by the brain trust. Also an enormous sum of money which could be spent on one of the positions which need a more urgent upgrade (say, goalkeeper or centre-forward). Looking forward to Caicedo getting 10 yellow cards by December trying to mop up on his own while Palmer, Fernández* and Rogers do absolutely f**k all off the ball. He'll look good on MOTD though. *Assuming we're not paying for this by selling him.

1 hour ago1 hr The money no longer matters, once it got to £50m being the norm then reality left the room. Its all financed money now being moved around the clubs, its utter nonsense and the whole of football at the top level is ridiculous.I think its best to just ignore the whole thing, just basically divide all fees by 4 and live with it.

I don't pay to much attention to it anymore. No player is worth that money. I think it's ever since PSG bought Neymar for 200 million it pushed transfer prices through the roof!

I think it's ever since PSG bought Neymar for 200 million it pushed transfer prices through the roof!That period was insane, Neymars fee was obviously nonsense but Coutinho for £120m and Felix for similar a year later were equally as nonsense. Higuan went for about 100m euros around then too.This isnt a new thing, fees have been mad for years, the big issue us the nonsense fees have now filtered down to basic squad players base is now £50m, everything has pretty much doubled or trebled.

People think they are very savvy discussing value for money transfers like its their money.I hope we continue to spend huge sums id like to see Blue Co. up to their neck in it, fully locked in where success on the pitch is the only way forward.With the recycling of the duds and there are many i think they will eventually buy themselves out of trouble.
