Chelsea are going all out to try and move back to the top of the PL too, replacing aging players with ridiculously overpriced ones. If they'd actually spent money wisely they'd have been able to develop young talent instead of just buying it from elsewhere and hoping it fits into their system. More managers would do well to pay attention to what Wenger has done over the years - yes Arsenal haven't won trophies. He's also been able to build a brand spanking new stadium (all paid off), make a profit (how many managers have done that?), built a team of youth with some new players and still been able to stay in the top four (poor Liverpool). Let's just hope he keeps his talent :D | ||

Gianluigi Buffon: Parma to Juventus (£32.6 million in 2001) made me chuckle when i looked through the names and seen him at no.8 :p granted more and more money has been spent during the course of the years but still its pretty mad to see his name with the rest :D seriously wtf is wrong with liverpool, first 20M for Glenn Jhonson , now this On February 01 2011 11:42 The KY wrote: 35m for Andy Carroll; EL OH FUCKING EL. Seriously that's insane. Slightly disappointed there were no strikers signed for Spurs. But the fact that we flashed 35m or something at Athletico for Aguero is encouraging, I now eagerly await the er...next tranfer window. hm i dont watch as many spurs game ,but why do they need anothetr striker? they have Pavliuchenko, Defoe and Crouch. Quality strikers | ||

Pav is inconsistent and greedy, Crouch is...well he's good in the air, that's about all you can say for the man, and Defoe is good but has recently come back from a fairly long term injury and has yet to start scoring goals in the league. It's long been accepted at the Lane that we need one real quality power striker at the front. It says a lot that our top two scorers by far this year are Gareth Bale, a winger, and Van der Vaart, an attacking midfielder. There were rumours of 5 big time strikers that Redknapp was bidding for, it seems nothing has materialised. | ||

Interesting article from the Independent where Carroll is saying he was sold against his wishes: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/i-was-forced-out-of-st-jamesrsquo-park-rages-carroll-after-35m-transfer-2200214.html I can believe it. Ashley would want the money, although tbh I think it would be difficult to find a chairman who would turn down 35mil for a 15mil (if that...) striker. Newcastle can build a decent team out of this - if they had sense. Aw, crap.... | ||

Torres spent six seasons at Athletico Madrid without champions league football, he loved that club and it was the reason he left. Liverpool don't have champions league football this season and likely won't next season. Torres didn't leave Athletico to not be at a club that isn't contending in everything. | ||

honestly I think liverpool made a great deal if you look at the transfer window in its entirety - carroll + suarez is gonna score more goals than torres+babel or whatever other striker they could field. chelsea also spending money to try to be title contenders in both CL and PL. but yes he's obviously overprized and smart teams that plan ahead don't squander money in january because players cost twice as much as in july. but torres was also sold for way more than what is warranted - he's 26 so not a talent anymore, and apart from two seasons in liverpool where he scored 18 in 22 and 24 in 32 games, he's hardly ever gone above 0.5 goals per game.. 82 goals in 214 games for AM, 65 goals in 102 games for liverpool, 25 goals in 82 games for spain. he's obviously good and a lot of the goals he does score are masterpieces, but I think him being sold for 50 million pounds is just as outrageous as carroll's fee. and I think carroll+suarez is gonna be one dynamite combination - if liverpool had also gotten charlie adam I'd say they'd have a top 3 offense in PL after this window. | ||
