FFS Devlish Stop acting stupid! Anelka while at Besiktas did fuck all. That is why he was bought as cheaply as he was. When he went to Bolton, and performed, his value obviously increased again. Bringing up his past glories at Arsenal is not remotely relevant. Or he would have cost way more than Henry when Cheslea bought him.

So what? What had Rooney won when we bought him? Or Rio ? Or Carrick?

Dumb statement. You are talking about a player who had 6 months left on his contract. At 29 years old. Who wnet for 8 million. Berbatov has 2 years left and is 27. He would obviously cost more. It's that same principle that made an okay talent like Bent cost more than Henry.

Which is frankly the same thing. Because you don't want to admit his true quality or value as player. That is why you're coming up with every bullshit reason to say his price is too high.

First off Spurs isn't a small club. That's blatantly clear. Furthermore Berbatov doesn't have to have one anything to be worth 25 million. FFS we bought raw Rooney for 30 million quid and he was fresh out high school? There is nothing more dumb than to think we would buy a finished article at the peak of his powers for half that price
