That Akanji at City looks good for £30mPeople need to wake up. It’s 2023, not 2008. 30 million is peanuts in todays market.

So you agree that when people say « just pay the fee » they are talking nonsense?
It's easier if you can also spend a shit loads keep on trying. It's not the amounts man city spend it's how often they can do itThat Akanji at City looks good for £30m

Didn’t we just do Porro— the amount if not by triggering the clause. We just did Phillips from Blackburn.Have Spurs EVER secured a player via payment of a release clause?
Son won't be able to play that position, the manager either works it out and changes the formation or the playerI would look to upgrade both Son and Kulusevski before I tried to upgrade Richarlison
Crazy as that sounds they were far bigger liabilities on Sunday than he was
Opportunity cost is the pertinent point. In hindsight, we should have paid an extra 10M for Hazard when Redknapp wanted him. Would have been over the odds and ‘what it takes’, but it would have paid for itself« Paying what it takes » is a ridiculous notion. You pay what the player is worth to you given your limited resources and considering the opportunity costs. That’s the real world.
Everything else is fantasy.
Seen this « not your money » take a lot. Why would that be at all compelling in the real world? The money is the club’s… the one we support… the club will always want to use its resources as effectively as possible.
Any other stance is living in delusion.
Explain to me what is more interesting about Burnley than Atletico. You're coming off very much as an American Soccer Hipster right now.I'm more interested in the former than the latter. And I'm the viewership the media platforms are paying for.

Did somebody say Leandro Damiao?
Yeah I thought Richy did Ok too compared to them. Made good runs and fought wellI would look to upgrade both Son and Kulusevski before I tried to upgrade Richarlison

The only would be if we were in for another AM, I'm very confident that no one will pay £30-40m though. The value of £30-40m is based on what? 18 months playing for Villareal?
No-one is suggesting that we should pay over the odds for every signing, just now and again for certain players. Is that clear?Seen this « not your money » take a lot.

Do you think we can or will deal with inter, no chance we get him, more clickbait
NoEnjoying my hols so intermittently catching up , has Poundland Kroenke shown any sign of investing the Kane money in the team ?
I know...plus he'd probably be 80mDo you think we can or will deal with inter, no chance we get him, more clickbait![]()
The NFL is a closed league. Its championship game is annually the most watched 4 hours of global television. Its most valuable club is worth $10 Billion, more than any other sporting property in the world, and one of its least successful recently sold for more than Chelsea (edit: double the price).The question is the format.
While the clubs might be more attractive in themselves, does anyone care about an end of season game between a 12th and a 15th place team in a perpetual league?
Would you rather watch the 4-11 Bengals vs 5-10 Jaguars or the Grey Cup Final. I’ll take the latter even if the standard is lower as there’s a meaningful game being played.
Bloke literally spent several posts arguing that it was fine to pay 100m for a 50m player.
Apparently if that seems like a flawed idea then you've been brainwashed by Levy.![]()
We won’t
