Manchester City agree £125m transfer for Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea
Manchester City, still awaiting a verdict on charges they broke Premier League rules for a decade, have equalled the British transfer record by signing Enzo Fernandez for 125m pounds. They've now spent more than 300m pounds on three new midfielders this window. Man City deny wrongdoing.
How much have they received from outgoing transfers?
Top football is a joke. Non league is where it’s at. Pies, pints, banter and raffles. This billionaire’s pissing contest isn’t sport. It’s business.
It’s not what they are spending, it’s who they’re overpaying to.
Manchester City have the most prolific striker in Premier League history, have signed a three-man midfield for not far off £350m and 2 of the 7 most expensive defenders of all time, yet it would be a huge shock to almost everyone, it seems, if Arsenal don't win the league.
Chelsea have literally spent billions rebuilding this squad, they apparently have the best attack anyone has ever seen, 2 out of the 3 nicely rested with no WC. They have a free run at it with no Europe & one game per week…Yet, it would be a huge shock to everyone if Arsenal don’t win the league.
And I'm still more worried about Chelsea
We’re 2 games in and yet almost every so-called analyst claims we’re the hot favorites? This “hot take” is such utter rubbish. It can’t possibly be we’re being set up for failure, right? And then if/when we don’t win it, the “usual suspects will all pile on and we did what? We “bottled” it again! 🤷🏻♂️

Those 115 charges coming any day now…
Very kind of Man City, STILL facing 115 charges of breaking financial rules, to help keep their spendthrift rivals Chelsea solvent for a bit longer.
But what about Chelsea’s deadline of the other week?
He’s such a filthy player Of course he’s at Shitty
Spent 300 million again while facing charges. Stinks
Can’t believe he’s worth more than Rodri in the current market.
City have spent more in the last 18 months than Arsenal have in 8 years. Which means with this amount of transfer spend, Mikel Arteta can have NO EXCUSES™️ for not defending the title
But Spurs' spending this window is the problem, right?
They've spent well over 300m on midfielders alone this summer. Good to see the financial rules in action 🥴
300+ million on three midfielders lol
Not sure I’ll ever forgive Rodri for this.
This makes the Premier League look like a proper mockery
Noch nie einen Spieler gesehen, den ich so überbewertet finde wie Enzo Fernandez.
I can’t say I really understand why city want him so much. Seems really strange
Should be enough to put him in third place on the all-time transfer fees list
Manchester City has reached an agreement to sign Enzo Fernández from Chelsea for a transfer fee of £125 million, making him the fourth-most expensive transfer ever 🤯
Man, I feel like I’m now completely out of my depth in terms of understanding how transfer business works, but I feel like Chelsea keeps getting bailed by other clubs who keep buying their already expensive players for more and more money.
£30 million of that was for his dental work
