Edin Dzeko: £27m. David Villa: £33m. Andy Carroll: £35m.

Fernando Torres £50m.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

That's besides the point. Villa is world class and Dzeko is arguably the biggest attacking prospect in Europe. Andy Carroll = average English player.

True, True

Why does this deserve it's own thread?

I hope he will turn out to be good. Someone needs to kick Arsenal and Tottenham out of top 4/5 to midtable.

Oh deary me!

Makes me feel better about the Torres transfer, I was actually afraid of them building a decent team with our money.

[strong centreback 157]

Best thing they could have done is spend the bulk of the torres money in what seems like a panic buy, carroll never in a month of sundays is or will be worth 35m

[Peace. 4,352]

With this money they could have buy Aguero, Pastore, Neymar, Lukaku, Hamsik, etc... But no, they use it for an average (or good in the best case) player lol.

I only smell far far overpayment on this one but honestly if i were newcastle i would be laughing all the way to the bank.sure he gave them a few goals but 35 million quid is Way Overkill for a player that like only half a season in the prem scored a number of goals.sure hes still youngish but 35 million is like for someone like mentioned above never mind him

Oh well.8D

[Wxgba 306]

I know a logical reason why they bought Andy Carroll for the hefty price...

Oh wait, no I don't.

To be fair Andy Carroll is a great player especially this season and to think he's been playing for Newcastle, imagine if he was playing for a World class team,(no disrespect to Newcastle). But yeah £35 million is outrageous.

TBH it makes the Torres deal look like a mega bargain.
