And Di Maria was 59.7m and Rodriguez was £63m. 50m would be well below the going rate to be honest, I always thought 55 was more likely.

Sterling was £49m, on that basis alone £57m for KDB is fair price
I am sure Wolfsburg has seen what we have paid for sterling and are assuming we will pay whatever they ask..

Why does it bother you
I just find it annoying that Wolfsburg are taking us for mugs.

Although personally I don't think it's an absurd price he is probably aware that City have a budget and that if we overspend on one player we don't have as much for another we might be interested in whereas if the price was lower we could get both. Perfectly reasonable argument and much more thought out than the oft posted "wot do you care it isn't your money is it" which has all the relevance of a very irrelevant thing

Why the shit are people still moaning about the fee? The comparisons are stupid. Despite what some will have you believe, Agüero wasn't the player he is now when we signed him. He had shown fantastic potential but was nowhere near as clinical.
Until Chinless Ronaldo moved to Madrid for £80m, the record fee was under £50m for Zidane. And that's almost 15 years ago. To put that in perspective, 5 years before that, Shearer was sold for a world record fee of £15m. So is it really any surprise that you can't buy potentially world class players any more with the contents of a piggy bank and a couple of moonpies?
When you see that recently David Luiz and Fernando Torres have moved for fees in the region of £50m how can you complain that roughly the same figure is being attached to a guy who has just outshone everyone in the Bundesliga with a record number of assists?
Get with the times or stay in your fish bowl of nostalgia but please just stop having a whinge.

Or maybe their bosses in Munich are.
Is it time to hate Bayern again because I really hate them and just though I'd mention it again.
