Calaen said:Thats the thing people complain about Arsenal fielding a team without any English players, but English players transfer fees are always inflated. Makes no sense.
Trem said:Aye Wenger has always said that about the English market, Carrick has cost far too much, he is a good player but not THAT good.
Man Utd should of gone after Ashley Cole I reckon, he would of done loads better there than at Chelsea, Utd's style would of suit him down to the ground.
Trem said:Hes got a nice bird though. You would of seen her shopping in Manchester.
I think the Cole thing was 6 of one etc, it does generally seem that Arsenal look after their players though.
Ch3tan said:Carricks transfer is for up to £18.6m. Which is fair enough, as chodax said, spurs will only see the money they want if Carrick performs well. I see no problem for paying £13-£15m for him now and leaving the rest up to wins and goals. Look at how much Lyon wanted for Diarra, makes Carrick look a bargain in comparison.
Aile said:Carrick cost utd £14, it will only scale upto £18m with incredible success, but then Man Utd will be laughing, so a good price for an excellent player imo
