Gribz 850 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 18.6 million!! I think that is slightly high for him. He is a good midfielder but im not sure he is worth that price. I think Milan would of taken that amount for Gattuso or Pirlo who IMO would of been beter. Man Utd have been crying out for a central midfielder and it does boost there squad but id still say he is slightly on the pricy side, 12 million would have been more realistic. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 They're needing a new striker now that RvN has been punted to Real Madrid. Carrick is a good player, probably the best English player in his position but the �£18.6m is a bit steep. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Its a lot of money, especially when they were supposed to be interested in Gattuso. Having said that, with the way their midfield has been over the last couple of seasons, if the guy plays well, it won't seem so expensive. I think their plan is to use Smith as a striker this season, but you'd think they'd still be looking to sign another forward. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CammyF 8,079 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 The fee shows how overinflated the English market has become - he is a decent player, but not worth that IMO. Cammy F 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,680 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 That is far too much imo. Take the one off the front and it would have been a good deal, but 18? nO way 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 0 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 It's become obscene how inflated the transfer market down south is. Teams are paying way over the odds for players. £8.5M for Johnson? Almost 20 for Carrick? It's beyond stupid money and these guys just aren't worth it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DiocletianIsDead Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 It really is crazy the prices being paid for these guys. The game down there is slowly being destroyed by inflated transfer fees, inflated wages, inflated egos and of course the fucking WAGS. I won't even be watching the Premiership this year, what's exciting about a one horse race? At least we have a bit of competition up here! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
