    Aye. He's good but...£45 million?

    Mind, football lost touch with reality a long time ago.

    Breaking transfer records ultimately leads to breaking wage structures, severely.
    Basically speaking, if you're going to break the transfer record you better hope that the wages that go with it are super justified or you're going to create massive unrest among the other high earners who now look like paupers, considering.

    It's a dodgy situation that can only be solved by destroying your wage structure and pandering to whims.

    More so with Jonny Evans - £21 million rejected bid. They want £30 million.

    It's a sign of the market and you can't blame them for wanting that but bloody hell, it's madness.
