Am I the only one who's worried about us paying inflated prices for players.
All of a sudden we have proper owners who are ambitious and we start paying over the odds for 'hot prospects'.
35m for carroll.
20m for Henderson. (ok even at 13m after taking away 7m for Ngog is expensive to me!)
That's 55m paid for just potential!
Give Rafa 30m net spend a season and he will bring in world class proven players. (He brought in torres for 20m, alonso for 10m, masch for 18m, kuyt for 9m... I can go on. He did have his flop buys but generally he brought in world class players that we have sold for huge profits).
Can we say the same for comolli and to a certain extent king kenny?
At the moment, I really have my doubts and I think we're being screwed left right center in the transfer market. Everyone of my mates supporting other clubs think that way too. There's no way carroll was worth 35m and definitely not 20m for Henderson.
The more I think about it the more worried I get.
No one knows the price for HEnderson, it was £20million a coupe of days ago, and yesterday it was £16 million, we could have waited till today and got him for £12million if it was taking that pattern. No one knows how much. Am sure Carrolls price was not £35 million out right it will be add ons if he performs and what ww win etc.
Unfortunately the football has mad and is so money minded and the media love making up stuff.
