For me, it's the salary combined with the injuries. 225k/week for someone who routinely spends a good portion of the season injured. He could get crocked and we have an RSC situation with one of the highest contracts in the world.
If he doesn't get injured, it's a fair deal. Just seems like a huge financial risk with his health and age.

You will find very few neutrals who think Tevez, Dzeko and Ballotelli are as good as RVP. There is not a team in the world that RVP would not be first choice for, either club or international as far as I can see.
A front two of Aguero and RVP has every chance of being the greatest pairing in Premiership history, and a very good chance of destroying Champions league teams. It may not work out, but if it does we wont be waiting till the last kick of the season before we are champions.
RVP is a candidate for worlds best striker, he isnt the worlds best but you could at least present a good argument. Could you seriously argue the same for Dzeko?
