So City have spent just short of £100m on their full backs.
Madness.
Not madness. Their defense was their weak point and now they might have the best in the PL. Winning a title is worth a lot more than £100M. It was a rational investment. For them. Obviously for a PL team like Palace it would be economically impossible.
West Ham complete the 16m signing of Hernandez. An absolute bargain in todays market.
They've now signed Hart, Zabaleta, Arnautovic and Hernandez for 36m. Shrewd signings.
Only issue is its not a very young bunch of signings there...
Hart (30) | Zabaleta (32) | Arnautovic (28) | Hernandez (29) - Plus Hart is only on loan so by next year and within a few years they'll have to do the rebuild all over again

Very similar to the Fulham strategy of 7/8 years ago.
Real Madrid agree €180m fee with Monaco for Mbappe.
Bale should leave imo. He can't play in his favoured position as the greatest player in the world is there. They play him up front sometimes....and now there's a 180m kid in that position.

Although I still think it is a mad fee. I see this one as more justifiable than say the Kyle Walker fee. At least Mbappe has the potential to be of a Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar level. Kyle Walker isn't as good a RB you could sign for £20mil.

Their spending will hit 200m this summer when (as expected) they announce the signing of Mendy.
New season, new opportunity to impress.
Well that makes it interesting. Says 'he stays'.
Interesting article on football finances, specifically about PSG and Neymar
Madness.
Not sure who this player is but sounds like it could be a good signing for palace which is annoying.

Typical Charlton fan... Writing a player off before you've even seen him play.
