AyeDubbleYoo Posted Wednesday at 20:30 Share Posted Wednesday at 20:30 A good midfielder with a decent range of passing going for £100m+ is genuinely crazy. Can't see anything at all that justifies that price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just City though. Chelsea have spent £80-90m on Enzo & Caicedo, Arsenal £100m on Rice. That should be for your elite striker or flair player, now it's for your engine.

Enzo was massively overpriced and Caicedo I would consider a failure. Rice of course great, but I thought we'd moved past the era of £100m CMs. I guess it doesn't matter if money is no object, but you don't need to pay that money for a really, really good CM.

Optimistic Nut Posted Wednesday at 20:55 Share Posted Wednesday at 20:55 Players like Speed, Jenas, Barry, Parker, would be worth the equivalent of £100m in 2003 if football was the same then as it was today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big 6 push for these higher fees as they can soak them up comfortably knowing the knock effect is higher prices for mediocre players which the 14 are left fighting over whilst not improving themselves drastically and when they do along comes the big six to pick them off as the clubs are so financially vulnerable and noses pushed up against PSR/SCR. None of the PSR figures ever adjusted to account for inflation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the only transfer that could possibly have been done to satisfy PSR. When Newcastle make a mistake such as selling a player about to go for £120m for £15m, it's cos PSR. I'm silly for continuously forgetting that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice little strawman you've built for yourself there Froggy. Unfortunately no one said that. Someone had to be sold because we were in a desperate time-critical situation, the only players it was going to be was Anderson and Minteh, or Gordon.
