Other clubs' transfers

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.

City play by different rules.

 

Will he be able to handle the pressure of such a crazy price tag?

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.

Is it a crazy take to think Miley is the better player? 

 

Yeah, currently. Miley can become better though.

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.

Enzo and Caicedo were also over £100 million and in fact cost more than Rice.

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.

It's obvious....There is a cartel of 14 to bankrupt the big 6

Quite the opposite. 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.

I’m convinced Miley will become better than Anderson. Crying shame those two aren’t the lynchpin to our teams for the next decades.

[El Prontonise]

Absolutely insane prices, thankfully well not be anywhere near it

Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes would be £150-200m.

 

Then the Ronaldo and Messi would be £350-400m +...
