End the thread. Everything needed is here. Our transfer policy is and has been aweful.
Whoever decided a 15m punt on zaha was required should have got sacked.
I assumed this was Ferguson.
Though we've never in a million years spent 15m on him anyway. That included a lot of add-ons. I'd say we spent closer to 7.5m. Palace were taking more money based on United appearances (which he hasn't made), England caps (that he hasn't won), trophies (errrrrrrr) and I'm sure other variables. If we end up paying the full 15m, it would however prove he was worth it by default.
That's the market these days. As Phil Neville said the other day, an 8m player is now a 20m player and so on.
