The reality is all of us have to just park the transfer fee. It’s not the first time someone, including Chelsea supporters, will feel that we have overpaid for a player. The reality is football works in a unique way. Transfer fees this window are hard to understand. In the past few weeks I have read on this forum and elsewhere that Tottenham have overpaid for more than one player, that Anderson to Manchester City for just £1 million less than proposed for Rogers was too much and even overseas. Barcelona‘s fee for Gordon is questionable.
There is nothing we as a group of supporters can do about transfer fees so let’s focus on the player who seems to meet the criteria we have all been asking for, he is Premier League ready, physically he is a bigger player, in the past two seasons (his first two seasons the PL) his goals per game ratio is high, as all his assists, and that continues across the board when you include other competitions. Finally, even though this is a player that CFC have had their eyes on for some time perhaps most importantly it is a purchase that Alonso not only supports but also help get over the line.
At last a player with the right sort of profile. Not a teenager and who knows the premiership and is good as well but £117 million I really don’t think so. The deal is not is not completed yet so you never know. Yes please take Garnacho, Badiashile, Tosin, Disasi etc.
Crazy money. But if you are told before either transfer that we would sign Rogers for 1m more than City signed Anderson. You would be happy enough with that. Until you found out both fees. 😀
Great signing I was over the moon when the news broke

The money is insane but Rogers Pedro palmer seem like a strong front three. Then there's Estevao Neto and Gittens. I wonder how Estevao is healing up.
Hes back fully training so looks liked all is good. We'll know for sure in the friendlies

Both just aren’t worth that kind of money but if clubs are prepared to pay more fool them. What’s Bellingham worth? It’s just madness.
Please Villa - take Garnacho. Free to good home.
