Not sure about that as there were 3 central midfielders signed by PL clubs last year for over £100m: Rice, Caicedo and Fernandez.
Guimareas is about the same level as Rice and comfortably better than Chelsea's 2.
Given a further year has also passed and prices tend to go up, I'd say £100m is probably a decent fee, actually.
He’s what the teams needs isn’t he? I was shocked to see he had the most distance covered in the premier league this season? Some stat that and it’s arguably the most important signing we need this summer? We know sales are going to happen even with the fringe/loan players so I would prefer us to get this done at the release clause and then anything else can be sorted as situations evolve?
