Go and check whether Real would have preferred Messi at 45m rather then a 29 yr old Zidane at that same price.

I shouldnt tell you what comparing Ribery with Hleb is am I right?
There is more money in football, than there has ever been. Your accusations are absurd. Real payed £45m because they are Real, They have a history of big transfer fees. Best player of his generation in many peoples eyes, and I bet most Real madrid fans would say he was worth every penny.

But again, you fail to accept that established world class players command bigger fees.

You are building straw men arguments again. I have never said Real wouldn't have preferred Messi to Zidane..Like I said people like Messi, Rooney are special cases, and are rare.

How would i check this Devilish?

Hleb and Ribery? Sorry I don't get what you re trying to point out here?
