John Robertson is the man to thank. To be honest I'd thank the guys at Watford more! But your staff and MON have to be congratulated for taking the plunge. Remember the stories all this money on a player from Watford, an Aidy Boothroyd Watford who just play the ugliest football imaginable. He's 25 right? Hardly too late. Apparently he's going there for £20 million.

I half get the feeling this post was just made to get a reaction. But I'd struggle to think of a better winger consistently in the league in the past few years, bearing in mind he's not at a top, top side (sorry Kurt). He'd be in the England side every time if he was at one of the top 4 no doubt.
I'd agree with the Jones/Henderson fees being ridiculous, but to say Young is just an ordinary player just makes you seem slightly less knowledgeable about the EPL. Just because he's not in a top, top side doesn't mean he's ordinary/useless. I think a fee of £20m is roughly right, seeing as some of the foreign imports who come for crazy figures and hardly set the world alight either.

QUOTE (Danny @ Jun 18 2011, 08:01 PM) Ah, I didn't spot the previous post. Nah, mine was stand alone entirely. I was mainly referring to Jones/Henderson. A worrying trend for decent but not exactly eye-popping players. And that's the way the English game seems to be going. Oh, I thought you were directly responding to the discussion above and as you mentioned the figure of £20m that's why I put two and two together. But yeah as I said I agree about the Jones/Henderson deals being well, well overpriced, even if they turn out good, they are overpriced currently by over double.
