32 million for Mangala was ridiculous money, but no one is complaining now either. So was 50 million for Torres or Luiz.It is not like there is a bureau of complaint for one to go file a complaint.

Do I still think Walker and Mendy were excessive? Absolutely! Am I glad about their peeformances? You bet!

I think in the end some don't care about the money issue while others do. Or to put it more accurately, some are selective about when they care. Others are more general about it.

I fall in the latter group.

To each his own but I would prefer we go for the best players and have the ambition to go for targets who could be among the best in the world at their position, even if we pay more for them. What you describe is how you end up with Jordan Ibe over Raz or Kieran Trippier over Kyle Walker.

If you are of the false belief the costliest player is the best, sure. But being the most expensive and being the best are not always synonymous.

As already mentioned, what is the right price will be judged by the buyers and sellers reaching agreement, and it isn't for us to say if the price is high or low. From our own perspective, if we can afford a player and that same player helps the club to achieve it's overall objectives, then his price may be said to be low. If the selling club use that same player's transfer fee wisely and use that income to build anew, and do it successfully, then the selling price could have justifiably declared high. In that way, both clubs could say they did good business.

Would be exciting if we got him. He'd be insane to want to join Liverpool instead of us.

depends on his ambition. Play every game for a club fighting for a CL spot every year. Or join the biggest revolution English football has ever seen.
 
Every player would be dying to join us in January, they're almost guaranteed a premier league medal if they do so i think whoever we go in for in the transfer window they will want to come to city no doubt.
