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?

Youre joking am I right? Apart from the EPL which is still going strong (and few other clubs spread around the world) there is no money left in football. And Im not talking about the small clubs like Fiorentina and Napoli (who once could afford world class talent like Maradona, Careca, Dunga, Laudrup, Zola etc) but also the bigger clubs like Lazio, Roma and even clubs like AC Milan whose spending power is much weaker then it was in the past. Same thing but at a less degree is seen in both Spain and Germany.
Players are nowadays considered as investment and the younger there are the better. Of course there are special cases such as Beckham and Ronaldinho who can generate so much money out of merchandizing which would be stupid to let them go (Its estimated that Real lost 30m out of Beckham this year) but Berbatov doesnt fall in that category. Regarding Messi/Zidane Ive compared one of the best young wingers in the world, with the best midfielder of his generation to prove that your theory about finishing products costing more then great young talent is wrong
