Really? I'm pretty sure at the exchange rate back then that would have been ~£24m. I remember it being ~1.25 back in 2008 and the transfer happened summer 07.

it was up around the 1.40 level at a point somewhere close to summer 07 if I'm remembering rightly. It dropped to around 1.25 after the pound was devalued, which was at some point after the Northern Wreck thing (which was aug/sep 07).

That still doesn't make £17M = euros30M, but it puts them closer together.

To me the Bebe signing was worse than the Anderson one. The former made no sense to me at the time, there is no chance he will come good and he was always going to be flopped. Anderson made perfect sense but just hasnt worked out.

I have been surprised about the lack of movement at Man City. The squad looks premiership ready but I cant see it doing much in europe again. I think the champions league should be more excting this year. Man City and Dortmund should be better than last season, I look forward to seeing Juventus back and PSG could benefit from a weaker domestic league.

:D

It's OK, you've only got a large number of overpaid players past their prime when they weren't that good to begin with, and a manager who tends to pay fairly high transfer fees and excessive wages....

Shouldn't really be in danger of relegation at least. Main worry has to be wages as 80% of turnover.

Swear I saw a breakdown a few years back of hy it worked out as £25m, though most recent thing I can find is the fee here

Never mind. Point was I suppose that you win some, you lose some. It's a tough game without the benefit of hindsight.
