    Simon Atkins: £52m for a LB who has never played outside of the French leagues. Ridiculously over inflated for someone unproven in the Premier League.

    Robert Hinchcliffe: £201.5m so far from City with probably more to come. I assume UEFA have just quietly brushed 'financial fair play' under the carpet then?
