As long as the club isn't in financial difficulty and we're operating within the constraints of FFP then I couldn't give a fuck.

This is causing a downward spiral at this point, so I'll try to be simpler with what I'm saying. If we have £300m to spend in a transfer window, I would rather we signed 6 world-class players for £50m a piece than overpay and only get 5 players for £60m a piece. Call that whatever you will, but that's a concern over what our transfer fees are.

Back on topic: hooray for Mendy coming!
 
Is this Mendy?

I know what you're saying but it's a bit over simplistic. The players we want might not be available for 50M, so better to get 5 players you want at 60M, than 6 that aren't your ideal targets at 50M.

Anyway, who is to say what the value of a player is? Who decides if he's worth 50 or 60M? We have to negotiate but ultimately the selling club can dictate the fee to a large extent. If it's a player we want (and need), then we haven't overpaid if it's a price that we were willing to pay.
