    Barcelona just signed Alba for 14 million euro's (which is what, £11 million or £12 million?). The same Alba who I'm tempted to pick as my player of Euro 2012.

    Man United are being linked with Baines for £25 million.

    Says it all.

    All it really says is that Everton are unwilling to sell Baines. That's their prerogative, and it's United's if they want to spend silly money to get him.

    It also suggests Alba is only 50% better than Jay Rodriguez...

    or twice better if you do your sums correctly :cheesy:

    edited to add: if you use £6m and £12m

    I was assuming that Reodrguez cost 7 million and that 14 million euros is 11.28 million pounds. So to be totally accurate Alba is 61.14% (2 d.p.) better than Jay Rodriguez.

    I reckon NC is going to insist Cork shares a room with Butland when on olympic duty..... and then there will be a random visit from the Don with forms to sign ..........

    If we can't get Butland, Jason Steele might be worth a punt.

    Yep, a player is valued by however much a team is willing to pay for him. An iPhone is only worth £600 to someone who is willing to pay that much to have it. I have a feeling Karl Marx said something to the same effect, but I can't seem to locate it.

    Valencia's debt might have something to do with the calculation as well.
