Which he'll back out of when they're relegated. Smart move for him tbh.

 

Would be for Ipswich too considering his injury record.

Bournemouth have just signed a Brazilian forward for over £40 million. Bournemouth. Just let that sink in for a bit.  There is insane money in the Premier League.

I mean yeah, that’s been the case for a while now, but they did just sell someone for £65M or so.

I know that it's just that if you had told me Bournemouth would do this even 5 years ago I would have found it hard to believe. That Bournemouth had a player deemed worth £65 million is equally mental.

Apart from half a season at Southampton years ago, I've never thought Broja is any good. 

 

Don't think he's got any outstanding attributes

Maybe but it’s no longer five years ago . It’s been sinking in for a while.

in my mind the spiralling upward of transfer fees kicked off with a huge lurch in 2015 - i always associate it with being surprised at how much man utd paid for antony martial, a transfer fee that seemed completely mundane within about 18 months

Loved watching him during that purple patch, he was really good and probably should have agitated for a transfer to Southampton at the time.

Has to be Roman coming in a throwing stupid amounts of money around with Chelsea. Everyone else decided to follow along.

seperate and earlier shifting of gear, to me - i remember how grotesque it was at the time, but looking back it just looks quaint  16m for makélélé? 17m for crespo? 15m for veron? eeeeh! game's gone..

Wasn’t everyone else, just the cartel four. Geordie_once_removed was referencing “lower” clubs getting involved in mega transfers which only really kicked in with the recent Prem TV deals. That coupled with more variation in clubs getting the CL money.

 Remember when Andy Carroll was like the 8th most expensive player ever when we sold him for £35 million.

Aberdeen sold their striker to Girona for £6.2mil which is a Scottish record for an outfield player not at Celtic or Rangers

Surprised they didn't manage to get over £10m, he's looked lethal for them. Good business for Girona that

I guess he makes for a mighty fine midfielder in a few years time.
