the lowest ive heard was £30million, for a 29 year old ? plus he already earns £180k wages at Roma, he isnt comming for less than £200k ...
I cant be the only person who thinks those figures are stupid...
well to be fair mate, comparing a Liverpool deal and a value on a player that no one decided was worth it. well its not comparable is it ?
Even if you did take the two figures you gave as genuine, both of those players have a resale value. In the case of DeRossi we will be lucky if he is still a first team regular at the end of his contract.
Big fees are great for players like Derossi if he was in his early 20s, but we are just a retirement fund in this case.
