those are astute points, mammy....did not think of it that way did jedi master....but you must admit, even in the premiership, he does look probably one of the best, behind only hyppia and of course blanc, no....
and in reply to the thread, 30 mil quid IS a lot of money, but considering juve paid 32 mil for buffon, it does pale in comparison....only worry about the transfer cap that may very soon come into effect........United seemed to have cooled on ayala & thuram,probably coz of the age factor in both....so 30 mil on either rio or nesta is definitely sound investment, both are good defensive leaders.....let's blow some quid, say jedi master.....we are after all

half of me agrees with you jedi BUT i posted this before but i would like to see how you see it..
don't you think if we signed a player for 30mil it would yet again be a no win situation ie like veron .... if he (nesta/rio/veron etc) plays well then people will say "so he feckin should he cost enough money" and if he plays badly people will comment like "what a waste of money etc". Not to mention the tabliods who would/were poised ready to crusify RIO/NESTA/VERON when they didn't put in a good enough preformance.
i just think that if the price tag is to large if can be hard for a player and the club to shake it off.
