£40m sounds about right. Prices are going up every year. Sanchez and Ozil were clear bargains. It sounds ridiculous but it's true. After 5 years the chances are Man City could recoup all of their money if they wanted. I can't think of a younger player that's better. Apart from Hector Bellerin.

He's young, English and going from one PL club to another. It may be cliché but that bumps the price up no end. Add in the extra TV money (coming next season, is it?) sloshing about and it gets even sillier. Not to mention the sell on for QPR, which means we're going to want more than we might otherwise. These ridiculous figures used to mean you were getting the very best players in the world, but it doesn't even necessarily mean that anymore; hence £28m on Bony, £30m on Shaw, £32m (£42m?) for Mangala, £26m for Milner, £25m for Lallana and £35m for some lanky Geordie bloke.

He's also on the last year of his contract and has publicly revealed that he won't sign another one regardless of what's offered.
Add to that his relationship with the club, the manager and the fans seems to have deteriorated to the point where his presence at the club seems untenable next season.
Considering that and also considering that there isn't a bidding war going on at the moment with only really City expressing any sort of interest in him, 40 million seems way over the top.
But then again City are dumb as fuck. This is the same club that gave us 16 million for Kolo and 25 for Adebayor.
It's £40mill because the chavs and the gypos are allowed to exist. None of those other fees you mention would ever had happened if we didn't have these mega-dopers in the league.
Worst part is, with all these players at their disposal neither fucker can produce a watchable product. Maybe sometimes the gypos put in a decent performance, maybe 1 in 3. But our champions? What a fucking joke. A billion quid to bore everyone to death? They are a cancer on sport, an organisation dedicated to money rather than football.
Unfortunately they are dragging everyone into the same boat because the FA will do FA about it, and you're hardly likely to get any complaints from the leech agents or massively overrated players like Sterling. These players don't even need to learn the basic techniques any more yet we're only about 5 years away from one of the fuckers pulling in a million a week.
£40mill for Sterling is ludicrous, in football terms he's not worth a fraction of that. But in big money business terms nonsense becomes sense because it's always a tiny monitory thieving off the majority. Murdoch, Abramovich, those despicable Arabs, that's why the likes of Sterling goes for £40mill, has absolutely nothing to do with Sterling himself. Plenty of players out there with potential, hardly any of them ever realise it. That's because there's no need to, they get paid anyway.
Alexis Sanchez has shown the whole league what a real footballer is. More of him and less Sterlings and we'll be on a brighter path. Really can't name many genuinely decent players in the PL. Players who make you want to watch the game.

How on earth is Ings only 22? looks about 34 at least.
Old man Sagan has finally got rid of the blonde dreads.
Probably realised too late that dreads make you go bald.Old man Sagan has finally got rid of the blonde dreads.
Seal.
Sagna
I remember him.
Clubs are getting really depsrate for "marquee" signings that the like of Firminio can get 100 grand a week! Sterling for 50m + 150k a week!
