They'd literally be taking the piss out of the football world. They'd have a defense alone that's more expensive than most top teams' entire XI's. They're literally buying success with zero repercussion. They are spending more rationally now that's giving them a pass. 5 players for £250m instead of PSG's route & they actually made a profit IIRC.

Rationally? Nearly every player they buy now is £50m. Sterling, KDB, Walker, Stones, Mendy. Rose & Van Dijk would be around that each. They'll probably still want Sanchez, too.

Have you seen the current market? 50m is considered value nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about fees in general around Europe have risen & these types of fees are looked at in the same way.Lukaku, Morata, Chamberlain, Dembele, Lacazette to name a few that cost close to that or more. In addition, Mendy was the only player that cost over £50m that City signed over the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukaku,Morata,Lacazette fee are strikers, it is normal for striker transfer fee to be 50 or more. We signed Torres for 50 m, and it was a while ago. Chamberlain fee was around 35. Our signing are all less than 50 except Morata. United are all less than 50 except Lukaku, Arsenal all less than 50 excpet Lacazette, Spurs all less than 50. City signed Mendy and Walker both for 50 m plus I think B. Silva was around 47.5 m. 50 m is not the new normal. This City is like Chelsea under Mou in his 1st term. At that point we outspent everybody on the transfer market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't raise eyebrows like it did when he signed Torres. City will get a pass along as they aren't spending 50m+ on multiple players & making a profit (https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/nov/08/manchester-city-record-revenues-accounts-wages-2016-17).

communicate 2,703 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 It is funny if you just listen to the media you will think that there is no chance for teams like Arsenal but looking at the table there is very little that separate the 7th spot Burnley with 22 points and the 2nd spot United with 26 points. The only team that is running away right now is City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, I agree with the media, there isn't a chance for teams like Arsenal (maybe only this year) because the city is running us hell ...
