    Hilarious that Chelsea though a Lukaku return was a definite then he joined United, I love that *.

    Sigurdsson is a top player, really underrated. But he isn't £50m, few players are.

    100 million now buys you Sigurdsson and Dier. Utterly * frustrating, English clowns. * everything up for everyone.

    It'll even stop the likes of Madrid and Barca forming the squads they have been when teams can hold out for 50 million from the likes of Everton rather than sell to La Liga clubs for normal sums.

    When the bubble does burst it'll be to the benefit of football as a whole, Celtic included.

    you get 2-3 good players for £30 Mio on the continent. All you get in England for that sum is a bag of balls.
    this won't go well in the long run in the current ecconomy.

    You wonder how long this can continue where prices keep going up and up, in recent times even just the last 5 years prices have went through the roof.

    I could see it ending up like NBA or NFL soon, where the money will become so big players are going to stop signing long term contracts and just sign for 1 or 2 years at a time for teams and gather massive wages and signing bonuses.

    Last year Sigurdsson single handily kept Swansea in the premiership (which is estimated to be worth 100 million to a club, per year). They'd be crazy to ask for anything less than 50 million.

    He didn't do anything on his own and you can't use that logic to place a value on players.

    It would mean the guy that scores the winner in the Championship play off is the most valuable footballer on earth. Which clearly isn't the case.

    Hasn't kicked a baw in about 2 years, which is a shame as there's a player there.

    You foget Nasri still belongs to Man City, feels like about 4 year since he last kicked a baw for them.

    I wonder if the Spanish, German's, Italian's all say the same as us constantly about this mob down here and the ludicrous money that get's thrown around for average dross..

    It's been bad for year's but it's gotten completely out of hand, and out of touch with reality now..

    Was on a Chelsea forum earlier seeing if anything about this defender we've taken and it's "what striker shall we take". Not a care or even thought about would they come or be able to afford, and that's the same with any that I've looked on..

    It's almost like they're talking a different language to me..

    Seen Chelsea signed Rudiger and are closing in on Bakayoko, they may not be high profile signings like Lukaku, etc but once again they're probably bringing in the best additions from somewhat reasonable prices. They'll still need a striker though with Costa likely leaving due to his problems with Conte. If they get that sorted in terms of bringing in Morata/Aubameyang for example, then I think they'll probably retain the title. They already got a very talented squad and have by far the best manager in the division.

    They have by far the best manager in the division? Based on what? Because it certainly isn't honours.
