re: Manchester City 2017-18 thread - CENTURIONS

It's always tough to get a true sense of a transfer fee.

But the reported fee for KDB was 55m, Laporte is 57+4m

Mendy was around 52m.

Walker was 45+5

Stones was supposedly 45+5.

Sterling was 44+5.

BSilva was 43m.

Mangala was 42m after third party payments.

1.5 years ago Laporte's release clause was 40m.

City have wasted a lot of money over the past several years on players in the 15-25m range, but I can't really complain about the players they've spent >30 for. The only real miss was Mangala.

The >30m club for City is Laporte, KDB, Mendy, Walker, Stones, Sterling, BSilva, Ederson, Mangala, Sane, Otamendi, Fernandinho, and Aguero.

The only other player City has paid that much for was Robinho back in 08.


Just as a side note, City still has never paid as much for a single player as Chelsea, United, or Liverpool.
