    I am long past caring about transfer fees at the top table, but £130 million for a decent PL midfielder is absolutely nuts. 

    I cannot get my head around the idea, that for one Elliott Anderson. You could effectively buy Charlton, purchase The Valley w/ Sparrows Lane and then have a transfer pot which could arguably get you to the top end of the division.
    That's the difference between a club that brings in revenue of £700m and one that brings in £11m.

    But i agree the money is crazy, these days even Palace can buy players that cost more than us buying our ground.

    City continuing to spend money like its water. Nothing's going to happen with those 115 charges isn't it

    I've long since felt they'll get away with most of the charges and will end up only being found guilty for not complying with the original investigation.

    I'm obviously no expert but i don't see how they'll be found guilty of the more serious charges which essentially then brings into question how professional world leading auditors signed off their finances.

    It is going to be very interesting to see what happens with City in a post Pep era. Their owners have effectively bought their way to the top and appointed a legendary manager, in doing so have achieved basically all there is to achieve in the sport.... a fairy tale (as they would call it)

    So what next, you lose the players of that generation, you lose the manager and the aura; the fairy tale is over and when you're at the top of the mountain the only way is down.

    They've just offered £120 odd million for a player so nothing changes.
