How do you spend 940 million British Pound?
Well you may have your own answer but according to the new owner of Manchester City, Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim, here are his way:
Product 1: Cristiano Ronaldo (135 Million Pounds)
No doubt he is one of the best midfielder in the world now and after helped Manchester United won their double last season, his value certainly skyrocket. However is he really 3 times as worthy as Zinedine Zidane(transferred from Juventus to Real Madrid for 46.5 million pounds, the highest ever in football history)? I think C. Ronaldo is severely overrated and i doubt he will be able to keep his form for next 3 seasons
Product no 2: David Villa (120 million pounds)
He is the backbone of Valencia team forward and one of the fastest and best attacker in the world. During Euro 2008, most people think Fernando Torres was the best performing Spanish attacker but Villa absolutely proved them wrong. He helped Spain won their second ever major international trophy and was awarded the golden boot for most goals scored. However, 120 million? Seriously you can even buy a Serie A club with that amount of money!
Product 3: Kaka (80 million pounds)
2 season ago, Kaka won every major trophy a footballer can won. Fifa player of the year, European Player of The Year, Fifpro player of the year, Serie A player of the year, Uefa Champions' League top scorer, Uefa Champions' League Best Player.......... and very little people will doubt Kaka as the best footballer today. However last season Milan was fifth in the Serie A and have to play for second class competition, UEFA Cup this season so will you spend 80 million pounds on the playmaker of a second class club in Europe?
Product 4: Lional Messi (80 million pounds)
Messi is one of the best attacking midfield in the world. His show at Barcelona and Argentina national team is astonishing. He help Argentina won the football Olympics gold medal at Beijing Olympics and most important asset of messi is his youth. He is only 21 years old. So i would say there is some rational for a club to spend 80 million pounds but still it's too high.
Product 5: Gianluigi Buffon (70 Million pounds)
Very few will doubt that Buffon is the best goal keeper in the world. Some even think he is the best goal keeper ever. Although there are Cech, Valdes, Casillas, Dida, Van Der Sar and many other goal keeper in his way, Buffon will widely considered as the best. He won the 2006 world cup and really, he was the best performing Italian in that competition. He only conceded twice during that competition and one of that was scored by Cristiano Zaccardo, his own teammate. However, Buffon is 30. How many more year can he play?
Product 6: Fernando Torres (60 million pounds)
He is considered the best foreign player in Liverpool football history. he helped Spain won the Euro 2008 and scored the only goal in the final. He is the absolute first choice striker no matter in Atletico Madrid or in Liverpool. He is only 24 and he is consistent. 60 million still considered too much for a player that never won any individual award.
Here are the rest:
Product 7: Cesc Fabregas (60 million pounds)
Product 8: Dimitri Berbatov (60 million pounds)
Product 9: Rio Ferdinand (50 million pounds)
Product 10: Stephen Gerrard (45 million pounds)
Product 11: Luis Fabiano (44 million pounds)
Product 12: Samuel Eto' (40 million pounds)
Product 13: Michael Essien (35 million pounds)
Product 14: Ruud Van Nistelrooy (32 million pounds)
Total: 940 million pounds!!!
