• This player inflation is ridiculous. Good player but never a £116m, or £130m player. I don\'t really see him as being any better than James Garner or Adam Wharton, so if United come sniffing for Garner this summer and Garner made noises to leave we shouldn\'t take any less than £100m now.rnrnI also wouldn\'t take a penny less than £70m for Ndiaye....

This is exactly the type of deal we should be very focussed on concluding early....

• £116M, that's just one more than the 115 charges they still face!!!Remember when we paid Watford £40M for Richarlison. Paul Merson went off on one. I wonder if he'll do the same thing about this transfer. I doubt it. How dare he criticise Man City?According to TransfrMarkt, we are sniffing around Papa Gueye of Valencia. Valued by them at £40M and aged 27. Senegal CM at the World Cup. Well having the Granpapa Gueye for several years it would seem to be a natural progression....
