What they're saying

"
Matt: It's about time we realised that spending £70m plus is now the norm if you want to make your team competitive, and with Tonali on the way (hopefully) we should be in a great place this season. Kevin: Really, another wasted £85m for a player that could not even help West Ham United stay up. West ham are the winners here.
