Sunderland yet again win the most ridiculous signing award of the TW. So he was worth £6.6m when he went to France, and now after scoring 14 in 47 in the French league his value has doubled.Tombwfc wrote:Scoring record in France is worse than Elmander's.
£13mil on a sub-conference player, for shame.....

"I've got a great idea.. We're going to buy this player right, who couldn't get near his sides squad last season, never mind the starting 11. Once we pay £24 Million for him, we're going to... And here's the best bit. We're going to *snigger* make him the highest paid footballer in the whole world! What d'ya reckon? ..Guys? ..... Guys?"

To be fair not being able to make Barcelona's squad isn't exactly a savage indictment of one's ability. Whilst he's far from the best footballer he's not a bad player (although not entirely sure why Mancini insists on using him as an attacking midfielder whilst benching Silva).boltonboris wrote:More ridiculous than Yaya Toure?bristol_Wanderer3 wrote:Sunderland yet again win the most ridiculous signing award of the TW.

With regards to City's money I just disregard any figures I read in relation to their players. Whilst Toure is being paid an obscene amount of money it is so so so much less than what they have. The wallet of these guys is so vast that they can afford to give any target whatever they ask for and not care about the amount - it's the equivalent of us haggling over a couple of pennies.

You can all fill in your own answer to that question.

I think Harry Redknapp invented deadline day!
What do you say to that Harry? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJBsI7RAuvk
On Toure, I know its a lot and I know he isn't worth it, but impressive thus far, no? Cracking box to box player by the looks of it...
Still £20 million + what, quadruple wages better than Fabrice?

That's a bit like my missus buying stuff in the sales. ''I bought this (insert fatuous item) for £60 in the sales. It was reduced from £160, so I've saved £100!!''BWFC_Insane wrote:Oh dear....Tombwfc wrote:Missed the deadline, feck off.
