Paying top price for a player who is not an exceptional talent, maybe not even a starter. We usually get players similar to his talent level for about £10-13m and polish them.
The market has changed. Top price is now £40m plus. 10-13m will get you Lee Catermole. Might find someone cheaper if you look hard enough and get lucky, but I'd rather we just splash out and get the job done than go into the season with Flamini as backup again.
No, we just bought Gabriel under very similar circumstances as i described.
The market is constantly changing and you're right, Lee Cattermole level players move for such money too, but its the level of the buying club which is much lower then.
