Why is Barry not to be valued at that price?
I must admit, I thought Man U got ripped off - but after they paid those prices
everyone else selling an England player will use them as "standards".
Yer right. I remember my old man going balistic when Trevor Francis got sold to...whoever the hell it was...for 1 or 2 million quid. I was just a wee kid mind you. He claimed it was madness and the end of football. I think he may have had something there.
18 million for a feckin' midfielder......wtf is going on there?
He also predicted that Sky Sports would wreck football too and the "Premiership" was "a load of bollox".
He still says "premiership" with spit....ha ha. Never fails to make me laugh. "The feckin premiership...in my day it was called the first division...what the f*ck was wrong with that, eh?"
