Pardew concerned with crazy transfer prices
Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez is close to moving to Manchester United for a reported weekly wage of £500,000

WEST BROM boss Alan Pardew slammed football today for “losing the plot” in regards to the money spent on transfers.

The Albion manager is concerned where the extra cash is going and that football is not benefiting from the huge sums being spent.

Alexis Sanchez is close to moving to Manchester United for a reported weekly wage of £500,000, with United apparently ready to pay over £30 million and shell out £10m in agents’ fees.
