    If it so boring why do you feel the need to post comments then?
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

        Just had a thought.

        I reckon with 80 million you could buy every player in the entire Scottish league.

        You could almost by every club too (Apart from the mighty hoops of course) ...

          Maybe this is Fergie's grand plan?

            I've watched enough of him in the spanish league and playing in the CL to realise he's something very very special - and he's very young still ...
            They somehow doubled up on all the Barcelona players, except Iniesta in the last minute.

              Don't talk to ardent scousers about football debts. Liverpool are in deep. We might be able to sign Glen Johnson if we raid the piggy bank.

                Startling that it wouldn't buy that championship team Newcastle though.

                  It's all about the TV money - even the crappiest wee premier league team pulls in more in revenue than the whole SPL combined ...

                    I think if we're comparing the only other player at his level is messi.

                    Edit. And he's younger and better than Kaka.
                    Someone on the radio made an interesting comment, saying that no-one would criticise a film company for investing £150 million in a best seller, as they'd get back the money and more from box-office takings. Aparently the Real chairman believes the image rights etc for the likes of Ronaldo will more than recoup the transfer fee. Indeed he claims that the cheapest signing he ever made was for Zidane (I can;t remember precisely how much, but I think it was in the region of £50 million).

                      The problem for Man U now will be when they look to buy replacements. Suddenly they'll find the price has gone up, even for average players. Having said that, they probably needed to sell before the contract started to run out (and Ronaldo could leave for zilch)
