Arsene Wenger calls Paul Pogba's £100m fee 'completely crazy'
"It is completely crazy if you cannot afford to pay it. If you can afford to pay it you can justify it," Wenger said.
"It is completely crazy if you compare it to normal life. That is for sure. But we live in a world where every activity that is worldwide makes a lot of money.
"Football has become a worldwide competition and that is why clubs can afford to do it. Does it make sense in the way the player can give you that investment back? Nobody ever could calculate.
"Since I am in this sport I always thought the record cannot go higher and I was always wrong. Maybe in a few years it will be 200, 300 [million], who knows."
Agree with the boss!
not as crazy as walcott's wages.

It's like driving a Vauxhall Corsa in Formula 1 and then complaining about how much the other teams spend on their fancy cars as the excuse for why you're always last on the grid.

Not about being worth £100m. It's what the selling club values him at, so that is what he will cost.

Exactly.. because the buying club is so desperate, selling club can value him at any cost..
I could see even Real Madrid is more sensible to avoid him coz of his much inflated transfer fee..
