He's a very good player, but £37m? Stinks of desperation if true, and a great position to be in for Chelski. The scum must be absolutely bricking it about possibly missing out of the Champs League next year if there is a grain of truth in this. I imagine this will be the typical rags game of agree a deal, then pull back and say they want to pay less and in installments.
Plus, the scum fans must have to question, if they suddenly have £37m now, what the hell were they doing in the summer then? For that money they could have tried for Negredo and Navas, or Kondogbia or had a crack at Ozil. Somebody (or more than one body!) doesn't know what they are doing over there, and it is very refreshing as a football fan, and bloody hilarious as a City fan, to watch unfold. If they come on for Lescott quote them £18m, you never know.
Needless to say, with all that money heading into Russian hands, I'm sure they are ruining football now and I await such comments from the media.
