Not sure if this is entirely thread worthy but this seems like a bizarre transfer, when you compare it to Thierry Henry who was signed by Barcelona for 16.1 Million Pounds it is a staggering waste of money. Henry is 6 years older but the difference in class is huge. Also it is not like tottenham need another striker, they already have Berbatov who is a guaranteed starter, while Keane is a quality strike partner and Defoe is a decent backup who is preferred to Bent in the England setup.
It really shows how overpriced English players have become.
