This is the only concern I have with our transfer dealings. What we pay bears no relation to what we get. Look at Chelsea; £40M for David Luiz, Ramires £25M, Lukaku £28M, Oriel Romeu £5M, Thorgan Hazard £5.8M, Demba Ba £4.7M, Ryan Bertrand £10M, Schurrle £22M, Mata £37M, Raul Meireles £8M, Zhirkov £13.2M. The dippers have even got £15M for Ibe (although as he's supposedly much better than Sterling, they've been had!!)everyone knows we're easy when we need to get rid of someone, so we get a pittance compared to what others get for their cast-offs.
Huge wages and his agent getting £25 mil I think they would seriously consider it. Only pissed off cos it fucks our Kroos plans up.

Palace could be paying 30 million for Benteke. Bony is no worse than him
Yep, we turned the corner awhile back in regards to transfer fees both in and out but some people just haven't caught on yet.I think this has changed recently to be honest. We got £13m for Javi Garcia (!), £10m for Rodwell, £25m for Negredo, £9m for Lopes.
And to be honest ask Roma fans who got a good deal with Dzeko for £13m!
Previously the club got exploited but I think we did pretty well last summer.
In and out? Sterling £44M, Bony £28M, Otamendi £32M, Mangala £40M, Roberts £11M, KDB £55M, Navas £23M, Jovetic £25M. £258M and 7 out of 8 probably won't be starting in August.Yep, we turned the corner awhile back in regards to transfer fees both in and out but some people just haven't caught on yet.
Navas was 14m but you carry onIn and out? Sterling £44M, Bony £28M, Otamendi £32M, Mangala £40M, Roberts £11M, KDB £55M, Navas £23M, Jovetic £25M. £258M and 7 out of 8 probably won't be starting in August.
Tevez £12M, Milner free, Suarez £1M, Savic £3M.
Not sure the corner has been turned yet.
According to transferleague he was £22.9M and they're the ones who quote the right terms for Sterling. If they're wrong then my mistake and it'll only be £250M for 7/8 not starting. Much better!Navas was 14m but you carry on
I don't understand why the focus is on the money we spend,as fans we should only concern ourselves with the play on the pitch imoAccording to transferleague he was £22.9M and they're the ones who quote the right terms for Sterling.

Fair point
Don't be sad about pogba,a 23 yr old is not worth that much moneyCos of the tickets prices. The new stand's horrendous £299 season tickets are exactly why we should continue looking at prices paid. :-)
Sadly my sarcasm doesnt work as well now we have walked away from Pogba. :-(
I largely agree with you, it's just that we still seem to get done over more than we should. Me being a Northerner, I just think we should try to get better value now, by buying 1 or 2 top class, likely starters.I don't understand why the focus is on the money we spend,as fans we should only concern ourselves with the play on the pitch imo
Isn't Bony considerably older and on a higher wage, though?
I believe we would be lucky to get £20m for him.
It's still imminent lolHow long has this Stones bid been ready?
Probably gonna pay in £1 notes!!
It's still imminent lol
Wasn't navas like 16m?In and out? Sterling £44M, Bony £28M, Otamendi £32M, Mangala £40M, Roberts £11M, KDB £55M, Navas £23M, Jovetic £25M. £258M and 7 out of 8 probably won't be starting in August.
