a rag account with a sense of humor??????

As I’ve said repeatedly, I think we are being mugged.

If money is no object, then let’s not fuck around and drop £200M in an envelope addressed to Dortmund, then another one to PSG for Mbappe?

IMHO, it’s just silly money (as in record exceeding) for Grealish.

Find me ONE City fan who would, 12 months ago, have said,

“You know what we need?
Jack Grealish!
And, I’d pay £100M to get him!”

JUST ONE!

Thing is Mbappe doesn't want to sign for us.

If City felt they were being mugged off we wouldn't be buying him, it's happened many of times in the past.

Like I said leave the tears to the bitter rival fans and the press.

City could pay 200m for him and I wouldn't give a shit.

2/3, at best.

about 75m? i actually agree, but the fee is the fee

I would still choose bernie out of the two , no competition

Maybe leave it to the club to sort that

Thing is I wouldn’t want Mbappé anywhere near the etihad he’s bad news

Right, this might not exactly be the most scientific method but it's the way I think of it. I've always believed that transfer inflation is a function of club revenue. City earn about £500m a year of which Grealish represents a 20% outlay.

So the easy way to compare a fee to a natural value is to look at a club's revenue that year and see the percentage of that revenue that someone paid. Again it's not the best method but it's how I look at it.

According to Companies House filings in 1989, United's revenue was £9.5m. In that year, they paid £2.3m for Gary Pallister and £2.4m for Paul Ince. That represents 24% and 25% of revenue respectively.

Converted into today's terms, that would mean they paid the equivalent of £120m for Pallister and £125m for Ince at around the same outlay as we're expected to have for Kane and Grealish.

I'm not trying to say that you're wrong or anything but I feel like some historical context on spending should be drawn in this conversation. £100m sounds like a lot of money now but it's less in real terms than the Pallister fee.
