[chicoazul]

Thats a list of who City are in for in January.

 

[McBain]

Im giving them a heads up. They doubled our contribution to the list in a month.

 

[Scottoffee]

Never could get my head around paying 30m+ for a keeper...

I know Buffon's total class, but still. That's just about what our starting XI cost.

 

[Gazdalf]

Where is Torres on that?

and it says rooney was only 20 mill when the whole deal was 28,

Was just going to put the same thing myself!!

Torres £26m

Rooney £28m

 

[Neiler]

Zarate clasoe to 20 mill isnt that the lad on loan to Brum last season!

 

[Dylan]

There are a lot of shocking prices on there, Medieta for 29mill!!!!!

 

[Walter Ego]

mendietta was [Poor language removed] hot at valencia though and then theres veron for what £28m or something! You would think paying that much you're getting a dead cert.
