Think its safe to say that we overpaid for him. By a fair bit. Spurs have a habit of doing that. But then again, the majority of people in here though Carrick was mediocre and a waste of money in his 1st season. Still to early to tell with Berbatov.

Tevez and Berbatov could do the same exact thing and Berbatov would get more credit for it. Hopefully the same exact thing they do in the future is score some hattricks and then it wont particularly matter. |

Not much point thinking about the price tag, the money paid for some players is never going to be totally worth it. Although he hasn't even been here for a whole season and I personally thought he created some good attacking play today.

Really?
Dunno about that. Not by this point last season anyway. Besides, the whole debut season excuse only applies to one of them, in a season where they have both been fairly underwhelming. |

It really doesn't matter if we win or lose, the post itself is inflammatory, and I'm quite sure that you know that. It has been discussed over and over again when he was having a run in the first team, and you have to bring it up after he's been out for a few weeks injured. It's not what moderators should do.

so if i can't have my say about a manchester united player, then i rather not be a mod and i don't think i'm presenting the matter in an inflamatory way -maybe i am, but for the RedCafe's standards it could be much worse-. |

No, not we, forget the "we", the club paid that money, and it isn't relevant in any case. Criticise the player for his performance all you want, but the money spent by the club to sign him matters not. Are you really that naive that you think that a 30 million player should play four times better than a 7 million player? Come on, you are not that stupid!

I love Dimi.
No, he hasn't played particularly great this season, and no, I don't think his performances would necessarily reflect that of a £30m player (Establishing what a £30m actualy is is quite difficult in itself!), but then as a team this season we have been ordinary for the most part, so it can't have been easy for Berbatov to be a '£30m player'. |

the haters think we shouldn't buy tevez because he's too expensive, so, if after all he did for us we don't buy him because he's not worth 30 million pounds, who Ħs worth 30 million pounds? berbatov? why? did he ever play as good as tevez did in his first season? |

...when we stop referring to his price tag at every possible opportunity. Dimitar himself has said that he thinks about his transfer fee and believes he should be performing at a higher level. I think he is putting an unfair amount of pressure on himself and that may be one factor that affects his game. I know he looks confident on the pitch but he is only human. He has a different way of showing a lack of confidence compared to our other players. I just want him to play with more freedom and really go out there to express himself. He is capable of being a massive influence on our team and if we can unlock his Spurs form, he will be immense.

We're going to pay that same amount for Tevez, what does he do each match to justify that tag, please enlighten me?
