Tomo 21,751 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I thought id go down the Rafa path and bring some "fats" to the table.Henderson and Carroll = £55 millionEssien and Drogba = £48 millionFrom what i heard United are on the verge on signing Phil Jones for £17 million if this happens.Smalling and Jones = £29 million Ivanovic, Terry and Alex = £8 millionMake of that what you will.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Cristiano Ronaldo: Bought at £12million, sold at £80million My point being is, while these facts portray us in a good light, we're not innocent over spending. We've overpaid a lot over recent years, so we shouldn't be so hypocritical. Also. Take into account player-price inflation.. Essien would be worth £30 million & Drogba would be around the same. Total of near £60 million at least by now. Edited June 8, 2011 by LDN Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane 2,275 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 And think of how much we paid for SWP, Kezman, Mutu, Veron, Shevchenko and Torres even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

termninja 5,290 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Benzema + van der Vaart + Sneijder + Robben = 92.6million £! All struggled, and could be called flops...look at them now (not including Benzema). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhead23 1,147 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Since the time we picked up Shevchenko (which was blow out amount) to today, things have changed drastically specially in terms of transfer money. A half decent young player goes for 10+ and if he is English add another 5 - 7 to it. In that regards, Henderson valuation is just right. Market has become a joke and we are also to be blamed to certain extend for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodZola 630 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Benzema + van der Vaart + Sneijder + Robben = 92.6million £! All struggled, and could be called flops...look at them now (not including Benzema).When can you consider Robben a flop? Been very unlucky with injuries but when fit he is a class act, a player I'd have back at Chelsea in a heartbeat.Rooney & Hernandez = 36m - Torres & Drogba = 74mI think you have to take in inflation for this but one things for sure It's us fans that are the ones that are hit in the pocket by having to pay extra each season for over inflated wages!
