I suppose factoring in the advances in medical science over the next 10 years we could get him to 60 at a push before letting him go on a free to finish his career at his boyhood club.

Or he could join the Paralympics team as his legs will just be stumps.

Don't want him for that sort of money!

He has had a great season but the season before didn't seem that great!

Better value elsewhere

Oh yawn off with the money shit it's bad enough hearing it from all the pissed off press.

If the Sheikh, Pep and everybody else involved thinks it's worth it then I'm with them.

Couldn't give a shit if he cost us a £1,000,000,000 I'm not paying it.

"Better value" is a hindsight. What if he's the next Messi? Neymar is £196m and he's not even half as good as Messi. Pep must see a football brain in there, and he's worked with some of the best.

A BMW is better value than a Bugatti in terms of £ for mph. The Bugatti's still faster though, so if you can afford it, why not?

Because it's boderline insanity to be spending that kind of money on a single player that isn't Messi or Neymar. Even if this guy turns out to be the next Henry, he's still largely unproven and there's no way of telling whether he'll keep progressing as he's not a finished product, unlike those two others.
That said, he seems to be somewhat of a special player but the price tag isn't really justified and better value can be had for such a ludicrous amount of cash.
Think Gabriel Jesus times 6.

Well said I totally agree. I'd defo Pay it he's a goal machine. I'd pay it just to get that combination going with sane sterling and Jesus. Chuck Mbappe in there Aswel and in the next 2 years we will be out of this world.

Oh, I fully agree. I don't think we should be looking for value in the market though - we should be after quality. Obviously if the same quality is available for less money, that's the sensible call, but we should always try and buy the best players if they're available.

Otherwise we'd have bought Chicharito.
 
Will never understand fans/supporters getting upset over a fee. Who the hell cares.... Is it because the media or supporters of others clubs are bothered by it? Why care? They willl find other things to beat us with if we don't pay the fee. It'll be, "Snubbed for Real" or something else. "money can't buy success" ect. Spend 800 mil and throw it in their faces as far as Im concerned
 
Looks promising.
Will agreeing price be done quickly e.g. Silva or take longer eg Mendy.

At least both clubs have discussed and concluded transfers this summer between us so that's a positive.

Mixed feelings for me. Like pulling smart birds when you're a shit-looking old fart but stinking rich. You'd enjoy it sure enough but it wouldn't be a great personal achievement.
 
Establishing a new world record transfer fee seems mad but to me it makes absolute perfect sense when viewed through the lens of City's project to be the leading and dominant force in world football.
As supporters, we focus on the league, trophies and Europe while supporting our favourites... but the goal for the CFG is much more than that.
Messi and Ronaldo have been the gold standard for World Class players... but their reign will be coming to an end soon and the next best things are yet to reveal themselves. It makes perfect sense to me that City wants that player- a sort who will be in the running for the Ballon D'Or for several years to come- to be plying his trade at The Etihad.
