Not even Chelsea spent this much though. I thought not getting into the Champions League would stop them but if they are willing to pay 200k then what can you do? Players are going to swarm to them, they will buy more this summer as well. They are determined to win the league and, let's face it, probably will. Hope other clubs don't feel pressured to increase wages in the worry City will swoop into any deals they are going to close. Spurs after all had the issue last year with, I think Bellamy? Where City came to them and hold them to drop their interest or they will go after other players Spurs were targeting at the time.
