I don't massively care how much we pay for players as long as they are value for money. Players that elevate a team are worth huge money. Rice cost a fortune but transformed Arsenal and will be there for years.
If you think a player with a year left on his contract will make you measurably better and be a big part of your team then £40m isn't crazy.
