Not sure why people get so worked up about fees? I'm happy for Khaldoon and co to pay whatever they feel is necessary, and then form an opinion later about whether or not they got good value ie Crocky = get to fuck, Bellers = great bit of business. Both of those fees were met by much wailing and gnashing of teeth on here. It's their money, and if they're happy to spend... People will stand or fall based on their recommendations of fees (as I suspect Hughes did) so I doubt anyone will be rushing to pay ludicrously over the odds again soon!
Is Milner worth £30m? I doubt it. Is that what we will have to pay to get him? Possibly, especially as Villa didn't want to sell. Do we want him that much? We're about to find out!
One thing's for sure though, he's a better player than some are giving him credit for. He's not the finished article yet, but he's English so helps with the quota and has the potential to get much better very quickly. Had a great end to last season too. And a bit better than GazBaz already IMO.
That said, he's no Yaya.
