£30M

[SW4Baggie]

Waste of money and beginning of their downfall.

Lol, he’s a bloody good striker and £30m is a good price in this day and age!

Must've done it today as the pound is up against the euro slightly...

It's another dodgy Mendes deal. Wonder how much of the dosh he is trousering.

Mendes likes big deals, he has been a lifelong dingle fan. (Ever since Fosun purchased them).
As soon as he is fed up using the dingles they will be dumped. We just need to be patient.

Theres no such thing as FFP  in the premier league as teams just laugh at the suits and do what they want .

There is. There is a calculation on wages, which we marginally exceeded last season.

Except that City are very likely to be banned from European competition

Fair play for showing ambition - but surely they must be flouting FFP rules when you consider they lost £50m last year.

They were clever there - about £30m of their losses only became payable because of winning promotion, so those bonuses are excluded from the FFP calculation for Championship clubs.

Hate to admit it, but they’ve been extremely clever.

How did Spurs manage to not sign anyone and still spend £11m on agents!

There must have been some hefty new contract fees and expensive sales!

Really does make you wonder what we could have achieved if we had been just a tad as savvy and ambitious and this is what narks me more than anything with us of recent times is the lost opportunity.

Ar, they also paid £18 mill for Traore, what a 'kinjoke he is
