This whole Value thing...
I've had to admit that whenever I hear Fergie spout the word 'value' I assume he's just towing the party line. While i've never doubted his desire to do right by the club, there's been a niggle in my head that suspects he's been told that for whatever reason cash is not available.
Then you look at some of the utterly mental transfers, not just this winter or this country, but around Europe and maybe he has a point... |

If however, Torres is an integral part of a Chelsea League and European Cup double, they would rightly argue that he's been value ! |

Re: This whole Value thing...
Everything is relative.
We were never above spending exceedingly large amounts on players before and many people raised a few eyebrows when we were splashing £7m on andy cole in january 1995 and £3.75m on a very young roy keane. Jaap Stam the (then) most expensive defender in history. Veron for £28m a transfer record, breaking the record only days after signing Ruud Van Nistelrooy for another record fee. Wayne Rooney, the most money ever paid for a teenager in history. etc etc. Is £35m a lot for andy carroll? at the moment it seems so. But, if he goes on to score 30 goals next season, everybody will be saying its money well spent. Did real madrid get value for money with Ronaldo - the goals he's getting would suggest so, without him they would be £#%&!ed. At the end of the day manchester united is the most profitable sporting institution in the world, we as supporters have the right to expect that money generated is spent on improving the team. Otherwise what's the point? We're running a football club not a £#%&!ing bank. |

look, the day united start leeching off some outside investors, spending £300m in one transfer window then of course we'd all be rightly shocked and have to scratch our heads at wtf is going on. but at the moment our club is announcing record turnover every single year, the ticket prices are going up, the tv money is going up, we're getting record sponsorship deals. the wage bill (rooney aside) isn't exactly getting bigger, i doubt many of the first team are on 80k+ a week aside from the most experienced players. and yet the outlay on players is getting less. i don't envy liverpool because they've got andy carrol - but i certainly envy the fact that they were able to pump that £50m they got for torres straight back into the team. |

If we had spent 160 million and Torres, Carrol, Bale and Modric were at carrington today would you give a shit about price???? That would be market value because we would be better. |
