What a Confederations Cup Luis Fabiano had. Top scorer and looked a world beater. Been prominent for the national team since Dunga's reign, with a quite frightening scoring rate. Didn't have maybe quite as brilliant a season for Sevilla last year, despite them finishing a sturdy 3rd, but no one would doubt his quality.

In today's silly market of Kaka going for 56M, C Ron costing 80M and Alonso 30 not to mention Santa Cruz for 18M, prices are insane, and a striker of Fabiano's quality would be worth 20-30M easily.

Yet Sevilla only wanted about 15-18M tops? And Milan refused to go higher than about 8M?

The Fabiano case is a curious one - a world class striker who's played at the highest levels and done well in them, including a fantastic Confeds Cup, yet Milan, a team not completely poor if not quite Man City refuse to pay what he's worth?

Refuse to pay anything more than about 8M?

And then a month or so later sign KJH for about 13M?

So, we wouldn't pay that money for Fabiano, but would for KJH.

I don't quite understand that.

You obviously did not even take the time to check his record with Madrid and his national team. There's no point going on with this, you can go on with your bashing alone.

i agree this is so incomparable that i would honestly remind you that fabiao at this point is worth Maybe 18-20M whereas when we bought hunter he had been bought at 32M. i think alot more people would have bashed the fabiano signing if we didn't get this great value.

He'd cost 32M because he was excellent at Ajax. He has not recaptured that form since he left. He left Ajax in January.

How long do we need to wait here?

his performance at ajax was not just "good form"!!!!!!!!!
and the difference between the january and the summer transfer window isn't 17M (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) if you honestly disagree with his stats and the incredibly low amount we got him for (considering the wild prices over the past 2 years), then i see no point in replying to your one-tracked ideology of loving Brazilians just because...

Where did I say it was? I called it excellent!

It's not an incredibly low amount, it was because they wanted rid of him! They made a loss because he didn't do it especially impressively for them. He was mediocre in Spain.

Come on, don't be silly. I love great players, whatever their nationality or skin colour is. I seem to be one of the few who rates Seedorf around here (He's not Brazilian), and I've criticised Pato's displays this season heavily - but I love Brazilians so that can't be right...

But you don't have to reply to me anyway because I sense we disagree on so much that conversation might be futile (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
