Did you even read what I wrote? I don't want Eriksen, partly because he's too expensive. The only point I was refuting, was you claiming he's not an elite player.

He's not an elite player, but comes with an elite price tag. Just like Arda Turan who you praised and mocked people for disagreeing with you. Even regarding Arda I seem to remember you talking about how he is so much better than cheap prospect X so Arda will be a great purchase.

'Elite' players these days will go for closer to 100m and more.

30m to possible 40m is not anywhere close to what the best players will go for and is not an 'elite' fee.

Whatever you say, buddy. Go watch some more youtube highlight reels of random nobodies. Some day, I'm sure you'll hit the jackpot, and you'll come back and gloat here, just like you are with Arda. Mr. Footballing Oracle :lol:

You scoffed at the price of Arda and made up facts about him being third most expensive player at his age and questioned his ability to be worth the fee.

To me Arda has been nowhere near as bad as some people make out and he has become a bit of a scapegoat at times.

Lucho has not used him properly I think and Arda is still getting used to imposing himself on games. It took Suarez months, Neymar a year to get used to that.

Some of the players you mentioned as being alternatives were woeful and they were not 10m gambles.

As for Eriksen I wouldnt want Barca to sign him for this team but I would say he is as of now a better footballer than every Barcelona CM bar maybe Inesta. Only Iniesta has better ability on the ball but struggles physically these days and is invisible when defending.

LOL, keep defending the Arda purchase till the end, I see. I was absolutely right about Arda and we are seeing it everyday. 42m for such a player was a joke, but you keep defending it because you claim other clubs were so interested in him so price was good and he will be good for us. You also claim Stones is amazing, will be one of the two best CBs in the world in a year and RM will sign him this summer.

Well, its tough for you to admit you were dead wrong about Arda, so obviously your judgement isnt as great as you claim it is.

His fee may well not rise to 42m and your alternatives like Parejo 'the leader' of Valencia and their 'best player in last few years' is worse. Or Ander Herrera who cant nail down a place at Man U..

You just lied and made up facts about Ardas POTENTIAL fee which you also have been proved wrong on.

Never said his price was 'good' or a bargain I said it was his going rate on the market and still think he is a player that is worth the fee.

Stones I think will be one of the best CBs in the world and much better than your alternatives like Umtiti etc. Lets wait and see.

42m for a 29 year old is an elite fee, no question about it. You claim there are dozens of players in history who have gone for that price at that age, but thats just baloney. He is definitely in the top 5 at that age regarding price.

LOL, what? I said that Arda was nothing special, like Herrera. Overrated and overpriced. I never said that I actually wanted us to sign Herrara or any other player like that! Arda is at that level, thats all. Thats completely different to saying they are "alternatives".

Lets see if RM will sign Stones for 80m this summer. Will be interesting to see. Stones for 80m or Umtiti for 20m or Mustafi for 35m...not a hard choice.

I dont think they will sign Stones for 80m this summer. His form has dropped too much but I still think he has the qualities to be one of best in world.

I think he will be better than all these names you are banding about as 'bargains'.

Making a prediction that doesnt come true is not as bad a making up 'facts' to back an argument as you did anyway.

Arda is and has been on a different level to the likes of Parejo and Herrera.

It is not 42m yet and may not be and he was 28 when signed and 28 when made debut not mater how much you like to round up his age to suit.

His age and price tag is wrong.

What is the age bracket he is in to 5 for? Have asked this before but you vanish.

Whatever you say. You are making up facts about me calling Herrara an "alternative" in order to back up your nonsense about Arda being a good buy.

If we had your way and we signed players like Arda and Stones for a fortune, we would be looking at bankruptcy.

More lies.... why keep quoting 42m? When the highest possible fee is 41m and likely to be less.

Any come back on the top 5 fee for age bracket he is in?

Wouldnt be any bankruptcy going on signing Arda or Stones. But we would be struggling big time if kept taking gambles on 10m 'bargains' and shit like Parejo who woudl be more expensive than Arda.
