It's transfer deadline day and it seems were in for a few big name moves before the window closes but from what i've been hearing in the last few hours sounds ridiculous.
£35 million for Andy Carroll???? I know Liverpool will be keen to replace Torres who looks on the verge of switching to Chelsea but seriously £35 million.
With that money they could buy good quality left back and still have enough for a good striker. It's madness and we all know who is to blame.
Since the Sheikh strolled into Manchester football has never been the same. £24 million for Joleon Lescott, £32.5 million for Robinho and £12 million for the tug boat that is Gareth Barry.
Inflated prices? in economics this would be called hyper inflation and pure insanity in club's spending has polluted the market, where loan deals are strive and big money signings are on the bench.
Managers and clubs need to look at the spending of a few managers in the league. Harry Redknapp seems to have a good eye for a bargain, Rafael Van Der Vaart for example £8 million fantastic signing.
Fergie also has a genuinely good transfer policy which reflects value for money. Take Javi Hernandez who along with Van Der Vaart is the signing of the season and cost a fraction of Andy Carroll's apparent value.
With Michel Platini about to wave his iron fist on this polluted marketing , City have spent , spent , spent and although I hear they will no tone down their pursuits I doubt they will.
The damage is done, Titus Bramble is probably worth £20 million now.
