Someone paid over £20 million for Xhaka.

There's a fucking shedload of money being spent this summer.

Top clubs, for a variety of reasons, are far more willing and eager now to sell good players under the right circumstances, and that creates a situation where there are major fees heading in both directions a lot of places.
 
After Chelsea sold David Luisa for fifty odd million I’m convinced there’s back channels for these bollocks transfers

That £20m will end up back with their owners somewhere
I'm convinced Chavski and City are doing some funny business like giving money to the buying club so that they can sell to them at a higher price and look good on FFP. £19m on a keeper from league one when we paid the same for Vicario?

Fucking joke.
 
I still don't understand why Mason Mount was apparently coveted so highly. I don't think I've ever seen him play more than a couple of decent games.

He's a very good player. You don't fluke being a club's player of the season twice. He's a pressing machine, which managers love in today's game, and is a goal threat. Think things just got stale for him and a new club with a change of scenery was needed. I hope he flops obviously.

He is pretty versatile but his best position is probably right of a front 3 ... where Rashford plays. I guess he will be used more as a "10" to take Eriksen's place.
 
How is my statement defending the Saudis? I'm calling out Carragher for being two faced.

And the PL might as well be the Saudi league compared to some of the other leagues.
Italy in the 90s /Spain in the 00s/ it's our turn and it's now an issue.

We are rich because we were good at marketing and realised a strong league is better than 3 good teams (that may change)
