At the end of the day we are doing business better now then we have for a while in the sense that we used to just splash the cash for players because we can. Id prefer the club to make a sensible bid and pay what they think is fair for a player, not get sucked in to paying excessive amounts of money just because the other club knows how much money we have. The three players that you mentioned above are all very good players but in what right do there clubs deserve to put the price tags they have on the players. They are ridiculous and if you ask me id prefer to spend the money else where. 25 Million quid for a defender is so much money, yes he has potential to become a star but is he really worth that much money?
