think its Carroll on value, Sheva on expected return

for as bad as he was most of the time Torres was a huge part in the CL when they won it

- Juan Sebastian Veron - £28.1M

I have to vote Torres, for his fee and his wages he has been beyond woeful. Followed closely by Andy Carroll.

Ok seriously, how does Fellaini not make that list.

Good point. Totally forgot about him. Maybe it's because he's still there and can turn his reputation around?

Carroll was embarrassingly bad, but he was resold for 18 mil. It's a tough call for worst value. It could be Shev, especially if you consider inflation.

Oh you. You just go on and humour me.

Manchester United sign Daley Blind from Ajax for £13.8m, to the surprise of absolutely nobody.

Well, he probably doesn't want to go back to his Everton-level wages after being paid Manchester United money.

0-0 to Burnley with Di Maria is going to be tough to explain. How many more waves of his magic wand does LvG have?

Stoke spend a lot of money, they should be in the top half of the table each year.

3-0 start for Swansea couldn't be happier with this new squad. Sigurdsson is making a big impact early. Nice game for Dyer.

Well, 3-0 is better than 5-0 I guess. Back four were absolutely dreadful. I will not shed a tear if/when Townsend is sold.

EDIT: Also nice to see Joe Allen stepping up and filling Suarez's role quite well.

Shinji Kagawa to Dortmund for €10m is completed
Javier Hernandez to Real Madrid for €20m looks imminent

Well, from Spurs' perspective:

5-0
4-0
3-0

I suppose progress is being made.

If they pocket 30 million euro for those two that would be a good bit of business.

Absolutely. Hernandez does seem to be excess to requirements, and they could never get Kagawa to fit in anywhere for some reason.

That's a shame.

I know Wenger won't buy another hold-up striker so a fox in the box like Chicharito would be appreciated.
