Transfer Musings

As the transfer window draws to a close I have been thinking. Real Madrid payed 30,000,000 euros for Xabi Alonso, who is a very good, if not game changing midfielder. In 2003 a certain Ronaldinho signed for Barcelona for 21,000,000 euros, incredibly expensive at the time. Is it believable now that Joleon Lescott a centerback who is good but not revolutionary was signed by Manchester City for 24,000,000 pounds, more than Barca payed for a legend. Interesting.
