If you don't think City don't sometimes overpay for players we will have to agree to disagree. Due to your extreme wealth, selling clubs do up the price and City pay it, IMHO. I might have believed this to be true last season but not so much currently. Nearly all EPL clubs paying a premium now methinks. Link to post Share on other sites

carmine 5,524 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Former long term Spurs target Joao Moutinho has just been bought by Wolves for 5m. Strikes me as a very sharp piece of business by them. Reports now that we are listening to offers for seven players. It seems very clear now that Poch doesn't want Rose and clearly never forgave him for that ill advised interview with the Scum news rag.

But, I am far from being an expert on money in football. Bores the tits off me. Link to post Share on other sites

Gone are the days when we could all probably put a figure to a player's worth with reasonable accuracy - not now. Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps you have but its a lot of money for a guy to warm the bench. Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy to consider if we spent 60m quid on a player it would have to be a very clear jump in quality for the position.....a key and pivotal member of the squad. Link to post Share on other sites

So by Triggs logic, if Leicester had set Mahrez price at 150m then he would be thinking City got a bargain Link to post Share on other sites
