FSG wont splash any cash - they keep on telling us this. They'll dish out what they take in and and not a penny more. We have to get as much as we can for all our deadwood and even at that 55mil for henderson and carroll is just insane ..... barca refuse to pay 35mil for fabergas and we spent as much on carroll????
The fabregas and carroll figures are irrelevant to each other though. If LFC are desperate for a forward who has proven he can score in the premier league AND they are willing to pay that amount, AND he does well, then he is worth the fee.
If Barcelona want a very good midfielder as backup to their current players who won't play every game and won't improve their first team then you could argue that "to barcelona", he isn't worth anything like £35m. So who gets the most out of their £35m investment, us or Barca?
*It's the circumstances that dictate a players value as much as the talent.
*that said, we have more central midfielders than you can shake a stick which makes henderson's valuation very puzzling indeed.
