In summer 2012, the rags paid 24 Mil for a 29 year old Robin van Pussy, and they went on to win the league the following season directly thru his contribution. Everyone said then it was a sound investment. I don't see this any different to that deal.

You could also say that Chelsea got a younger Eden Hazard for just over £30m that summer, and they didn't win the league.

Which team was better off in the long run and which signing was better value?

exactly, no difference whatsoever, you could argue we'd be getting an even better deal than that

That's the conundrum isn't it? I'd say they both succeeded.

Fair point, but I'd say one purchase was for an immediate affect, and the other a long term investment. In my mind, Sanchez is an immediate solution.
