We were the only team after him because no one else wanted to get into an auction against us. We had exclusitivity on this deal until we publicly said we didnt want him, which we did. Plus this season Real & Barca are more than covered in his position. 12 months later, who knows?

Exactly we were in an excellent bargaining position. Bayern wanted to wait until next year, to see how he developed and the Spanish clubs are fully stocked and yet this will still be the second highest transfer in Bundesliga history.

It is a pattern that we generally over pay for players. You could understand it more pre 2012 but I would of thought now we would have a stronger position in negotiations particularly when the player confirns he wishes to leave.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

Similar initial price to Martial without the extreme add ins. Seems reasonable to me. Probably equal potential...

 

[xgorton]

So has big Al signed on the dotted line yet?

Just before someone asks Al is short for Aladin and of course Aladin goes with Sane as per the late great Bowie.

It's pronounced sarnee mate,Aladin Sarnee just doesn't do it for me.

Liverpool paid £34 million for Mane, Sane doesn't seem so expensive when thinking about it. Lets just hope he fulfills his potential, looks very one footed like Sterling from youtube, don't anticipate many crosses.

But you are wrong. We dont over pay as such. We pay the rate 12 months ahead of inflation.

We did it with Raheem, bought him a year before the league saw the silly money come in. had we left it until this year, any team could pay 44 mil for him.

Ooooh, we'll love Aladdin Sane. God bless David Bowie.
