Josko Gvardiol

I see an item for £40 in a shop. I pay them £50 for it. I've overpaid by £10.

We overpaid for Jack but it seems to have turned out well. If a transfer is successful and the team does well the price largely becomes irrelevant. Obviously in accounting terms it matters but if we pay over 100m for Josko it won't matter if in five years time he has been a revelation. Now if he was a flop that is a different matter.

Haggling in independent shops is more common than you may think in the UK, and you'd probably be surprised to see how often it happens.

The supermarket chains make haggling almost impossible but it's worth trying if you're buying a TV or other electrical item with a damaged box or on display.

Tbh paying Jack 100m seems the right fee atleast imo.

We got to understand City are not only paying him for footballing skills but also his potential marketability. Jack is handsome and english so it's no brainer that Jack is goldmine for marketability for our club. I see his face everywhere whenever City doing marketing for their product and sponsors.

Luton has bought a player from Aston Villa named Marvelous Nakamba :-)

Go on I’ll get my popcorn…..

I'm fine where I am ta. A bit too philosophical a tangent for this thread.

Ffs.

Do you genuinely believe a shop would be allowed to sell you an item above the price stated on the item?

You’re literally the worst Robin Hood ever.

We didnt over pay, as that was his price,his buyout.....we knew that,we weren't ever paying different and we were happy to do the deal for that amount.

Any item is always worth whatever someone out there will pay.

You are someone. And you are willing to pay £5, and I buy it for £10 when I could have got it for 5, I've overpaid. Case closed.
