If he's worth £9m and Darren Bent is worth more than Henry the transfer market has finally gone mad !!
This is even a step on from £6m for Glen Johnson .......... Abramovich mistake numero uno !

I hate to say it but the guy is a proper talent though. I wouldn't have paid 9 mill for him but he's worth a few bob

Yes, £9m is too much for him but you have to look at that fee and consider the other transfers that have gone on in the Premiership this season. Consider some of the other transfers that have went on in the same kind of bracket (say 6-9m) this year and then decide if its so bad.
The English Premiership is the only league in the world where almost every team can fork out mega bucks on players.

But do they really pay £9 mill, or does that include the players salary for the duration of the Contract?

£9mil (usually a bit less up front, the total depending on appearances/success of the club etc). Players wages are on top.

Good grief! A decent players academy (we used to call them "youth schemes") would be a better investment I'd have thought. Burnley used to make a living out of their Youth Scheme. That was a year or two ago, mind. |

If Craig Gordon is worth 9 million what are McGreggor and Boruc worth?
I'd say Boruc was a better goalie than Gordon and there ain't much in it between Greegs and Gordon.

chick young claimed that man city were entering the bidding adding kasper scmiechel to the deal hearts already expressed an intrest in kasper so the bid could fly
for a player coming out of the scottish league 9 million is alot of money but if he was already playing in the premiership it would take nearly twice that to move him the guy has talent and could be the best goalie in the league this season

He's not that good. There are a number of goalies in the EPL who are better than him. He's not even the best goalie on Scotland. |
