And Madrid have paid significant amounts for many players who've turned out to be not worth that fee or anywhere close to the fees they've purchased for.
€40m purple patch means his actual valuation is about what Morgan would cost at £25m which is based on his purple patch and inflated by the club and agent. Morgan is a £10m player at best.
Carrol's valuation was similar and was higher than what anyone paid for Henry. Does that make Carroll a superior player?
Also 40m euros is 30m pounds not 25m pounds.
The fact is that Morgan is a proven premier league player and has been consistent for a longer period than Illaramendi.
And all I know is that you keep shifting things when proven wrong time and time again-
Morgan is the Samba, Michu and Diame of 2015.
Untrue because he's played consistently for a much longer period
[font=Source Sans Pro]Morgan is the type who does well at Southampton, Swansea, West Ham or Hull, but will never take the step up to the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea or Man Utd and be world class.[/font]
[font=Source Sans Pro]Illaramendi is the type who has already tested the waters at the biggest club in the world and is just a bit shy of their starting XI, but will shine and become world class as soon as given a chance at a slightly smaller club.[/font]
We know that 3 players from Southampton have stepped up to Arsenal.
And definitive statements like Schneiderlin will never be world class and Illaramendi will? On the basis of what? Madrid's chequebook?
You dont pay €40m for a purple patch
And yes we've seen this happen before
