£43m is a lot of money as well, but I suppose that doesn't matter much to City (even though some om here insist on them and us being on the same level financially!).
It seems that the fee is reporting to be closer to £34 million. Still huge money for a goalkeeper though and like you say a pretty incredible amount to gamble on someone who's virtually unknown and only has 30 games under his belt.

Yeah, I definitely think we should be looking at buying a class goalkeeping talent and then let someone else take care of their development. Scuffet, possibly? He's wasted on Udinese's bench. Buy him and loan him out for a season or two. It can't be that hard to find a good middlesized Serie A club for him to thrive in. Sassuolo would probably love to have him. Pomini who tends for them is fast approaching 40.
