Is it anymore though?
Only a few years ago people were laughing at City paying £45m for De Bruyne, or Bernardo Silva, or us paying £35m for Mane. You've got clubs like West Ham, Palace and Wolves readily able to spend this amount, Newcastle spending £40m on someone who scored about 7 goals last year. Figures above £50m used to be the preserve of the greatest names in the world (i.e. Madrid), now it seems to be more surprising when a fee involving a big club is less than £60m. The numbers don't really mean anything, they're not connected in any way to reality.
Good stuff all this.
Its so much better than it used to be when Wenger was here.
All that's needed now is to get rid of Mustafi in the next 3 weeks and Ozil in January or next summer and it will be even better.
I might have to watch a few matches this season.
Wow, feels weird actually using the Transfer thread for something other than window shopping...
We signed 6 players![]()
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
