Decent enough player, sure, but British transfer record good? |  |

Nah it's just the circular funding of the top of the Prem. It's like the finance of AI, just the big boys recycling the same £2bn endlessly. |  |

I don't get the obsession with him, to be honest. I suppose he might be one of those players who does a lot without being seen, but he doesn't seem a stabilising influence in the dressing room. |  |

It is mad.
But to be fair, Chelsea paid £107m for him 3 years ago, which was even more crazy.
I guess if Tonali is a £100m player, then maybe Enzo is a £125m player. |  |

Pretty complete midfielder, plenty of goals in him, lots of bite in midfield and a decent passer. But a complete tosspot I wouldn't want anywhere near my team. |  | | |

Isn’t that only level with Isak’s fee? Rogers and Anderson weren’t far off either, but the huge sales generated and then spent just feel like a PSR dodge to me (especially when so many of the huge fees involve Chelsea)
As an aside surely we should be saying ENGLISH record, the SPL highest fee is about 5 quid and a deep fried mars bar… | | | |

Good signing IMO.
Will be a big part of the jigsaw for City.
Seen much worse deals. |  | | |

Makes Bradley Barcola's signing for Liverpool a relative bargain, as we might very shortly get the chance to see! |  | | |

I've seen it suggested that Premier League clubs are increasingly happy to sell to each other as they can't command the required fees from elsewhere. |  |

On the transfer window more generally, here are three snippets from a BBC article.
"Premier League clubs have broken their all-time summer transfer record after spending reached £3.46bn."
"Newly-promoted Ipswich Town have spent more on new signings than the likes of Barcelona, AC Milan, Juventus and reigning European champions PSG."
"Yan Diomande's move to Real Madrid and Anthony Gordon's switch from Newcastle to Barcelona are the only deals completed so far this summer by clubs outside the Premier League to involve fees in excess of £60m."
In many ways the concentration of wealth in the English game, and the money involved, is all rather obscene, especially to someone like me who first saw Ipswich in the late 60s. [Post edited 2 Sep 8:32]

Chelsea fan i know who goes to games thinks he's a fat waster, and is utterly delighted at the fee.
Then again, he hates everything that Chelsea have become over the last few years and their awful recruitment model. Alonso being the manager is about the only positive thing for him right now. | | | |

It has been a trend in the last few years but this summer it has become really obvious that transfers between PL clubs are happening for hugely inflated fees. Is there some PSR/SCR/accounting benefit to this? | | | |

Yes, but Barcelona and PSG had the likes of Doue, Yamal, Vitniha etc, we had the likes of Ogbene and Hirst, so obviously we had to spend a lot of money! |  |
