Bench marks

One of the papers pointed out that Manchester City's bench cost around £120 million on Saturday. This included Dzeko (£32m), Lescott (£24m), Jovetic (£22m), Kolarov (£20m), Milner (£19m) and Zabaleta (£7m). While we're sweating on our star £16 million signing Andy Carroll (City would pay that for a kit man) and our bench had a value of around £12m, with Jarvis at £9m and Taylor at £3m the only players to cost fees.
