It turned out to be a pittance for the calibre of player we got.
£150 million is a huge fee, no doubt, but if you are trying to find a “like for like” replacement, rather than a “tidy looking prospect” then you’re probably looking at that kind of fee anyway for an elite level player. If the “selling club” knows you have just trousered £150 million, the likelihood is that you’d be forced to pay massively over the odds even for the tidy looking prospect.
Pay him the going rate (if he’s not already indicated he wants away)
The Eriksen’s of this world are as rare as rocking horse shit. We should get him signed up ASAP if he’s willing to talk new contracts.
I hear you. If Eriksen could really get a 200m+ fee out of RM I'll be impressed though- it just seems like an incredible amount of dough. Maybe I don't even really know how good Eriksen is in $$ or footballing terms! Is he seriously the best CAM-ish target around right now? Not saying he isn't great, but, wow if so!
