forget 30m for Berbatov, are you telling me he was better value for money than Valencia and Hernandez combined? Anderson 20m for a prospect, 20m De Gea a 21 year old keeper, Young 18m winger, Jones 18m 19 year old, people seem to forget, we buy players we need and we don't overspend, when people see United coming, they bump the price up, we asked Sneijder to reduce his wages to come to us because we actually want to be sustainable, if we make an exception for Sneijder, who's to say when every new signing comes they all want 250,000 a week... City are in trouble with offloading players now because who's seriously going to want to take a 80,000 pay cut? If you pay what players want, everyone would be on 500,000 a week, you have to sometimes just turn round and say it isn't worth it, Rio, Veron, Ronaldo, Rooney were all young and massive massive prospects, was there any doubt Rooney would repay that money? was there any doubt Rio, Ronaldo wouldn't repay that money in trophies etc. We never used to spend 160m in transfer windows, we bought a 20/30m player here and there when required, we still do that, Berba and Anderson but sometimes it's worth having someone cheaper, just because they are cheaper doesn't make them any less of a player, if Kagawa wasn't in his last year of contract he would have been an easy 30m player but everyone sees it as 12m
