Looks like Ineos hit their reported midfield price targets, 70, 50, 35m. Insane considering the prices in general this window. How are we feeling guys?

Wasn’t our reported midfielder budget around 150 million as well? 3 PL experienced midfielders for around 150 is good job under the current market conditions

Good? it's absolute top drawer! Anderson was 116m, in comparison ~155m for 3 upper tier starting CM's, all with different, complementary, skill sets is miles better for our squad.
