It's a circular and probably irrelevant argument invented by the press anyway. There is zero evidence that the price paid for Walker inflated the price for Mendy any more than the price the rags paid for Lukaku did.

Even if there was, they'd just have reversed the argument. Followed to its logical conclusion you'd never sign anyone in case it inflated the fee for the next signing.

We already paid £50 mil for Walker and now Monaco demands £55 mil for Mendy.

I was banned once before because I said we're missing our main defenders when we're messing around with Alves, Mbappe and Sanchez and this Domali

Actually I see zero evidence that we paid anything else other than the "we would never pay that" statements I'm seeing here.

Every media outlet reported it as £50 mil. I don't have a problem with it in this market, he's the best RB in the league.
 
Last time I checked Manchester City was a football club, not a monastery.

We're paying weekly salaries to young lads that most of us wouldn't earn in a year or more. They're entitled to enjoy their lives and embrace their unique opportunities within reason.

Some of you take this social media joshing way too seriously.

He's nothing like Mario tho and his Social stuff is all banter he's doing no harm at all I actually find it funny.

He's certainly no Mario on the pitch. Mario was/is a flawed genius, but I think a lot or his problems for us were down to his fiery relationship with Bobby Manc. Maybe he would have flourished under someone like Pep?

I home Mendy does come to us. I think the price, at £50m+ is too high, but that's the current market unfortunately.

Just seems to have a touch of the Balotelli about him.

Everyone likes a free toaster, but are his off pitch antics (social media whore) going to cause us problems?

More of a Pogba, they are mates for a reason I guess.

Throwing stupid M/scissor signs with his hands in multiple photos..would probably Dab if he scored. Different haircuts, colours and shapes shaved into them.

I guess I just expect every professional athlete to follow the example of someone like our Captain. I forget how young some of the players are, and that most of them have grown up with an i-phone in their hand's.

I must sound like a right old git; I'm really not........ Honest ;-)

Ashley Cole holds it elsewhere, or so the song says.
