Scroll down in this link for a table of the top 100 most expensive transfers in the Premier League when adjusted for  "transfer fee inflation".

https://tomkinstimes.com/2017/07/shock-transfers-now-cost-more-plus-top-100-signings-after-inflation/

The top 25 are dominated by Chelsea and United signings. Kyle Walker not even in the top 100. Value.

I've been away so not aftertiming or anything with the Morata news this evening.....but on what planet do the media think City would sanction the sale of Aguero to Chelsea?

[POWWWWWWWW]

but though £45m/£54m was an awful lot to spend on a full-back, it also happened to be nearly half of the Lukaku fee, one that was widely celebrated. Wouldn’t readers put two and two together and see the hypocrisy? They’re not idiots after all.

Is he suggesting that you can't overpay for a player because another one (that plays an entirely different/more valuable role in the team) cost more?

The same planet where they think Arsenal would sanction the sale of Alexis to you lot?

Yeah, cos Arsenal don't have a very real recent history of selling their best players.

Not since we've been self-sufficient we haven't.

We did manage to slip in a couple of duds amongst the gems in those bad old days when we needed the money though.

Here is a little reminder from 2011:

"Big clubs don't sell their stars, claims Arsène Wenger"    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2011/jul/12/arsenal-cesc-fabregas-samir-nasri-arsene-wenger


"Samir's situation is clear for me," Wenger said. "He stays. We are in a [financial] position where we can say 'No' and we will, in the case of Samir." Wenger said that it was better to keep Nasri for another season and risk losing him for nothing than to sell him to United or City before the closure of the transfer window, even if it represented a £20m gamble.

That was a horror-show of a summer as after Fabregas had forced his way out, Nasri's departure resulted in strengthening Theo's situation and him getting a £150K per week contract.

As you correctly say that was in 2011 and there have been no such departures since.

Hmm, RVP went to United the following season.

I figured it might be a trap - I guess we've only been self-sufficient since then.

Mind you as you're currently buying FB's, Gibbs or Debuchy could available if the price is right.

TBH I was surprised Wenger was saying the finances weren't a problem as far back as 2011. The reality being the purse strings weren't loosened until the arrival of Ozil a couple of years later

As for Sanchez, all over City boards that it looks like PSG is the destination. If he moves of course...     8/1 now for a move to City.
