    I hope Everton hold out for more so we get millions and millions from their now at least £30000000 transfer

    We're not the ones splashing out £30m for one player. And I don't for one second believe we will spend more than 15%of the money on new players.

    It doesn't make it right ST and it is all relative. I'd prefer it if players like Stones were worth a couple of million as it would mean football still had a sense of perspective and realism but the Sky money and billionaire owners have seen to that.

    Of course we want the most money possible from Stones but that doesn't mean that I don't find it all obscene.

    Not really. I see it as the sad reality of football rather than hypocrisy.

    Sky are disgusting with what they charge. Cancelled it a few years ago and have not gone back. Better things to spend my money on.

    Me too. It wasn't just the money but the principle of them being at the root of most of what is wrong with football.
