The price of lower league players is atrocious at the minute. The figures being touted for this Cresswell lad & Rhodes just seem crazy considering what they've done. In fairness to Wenger he got that Jenkison lad for a million quid.

not that bad for cresswell really. hes a main player at a club that is still something like the 5th or 6th richest lesgue in europe, he signed a contract extension only last year snd the fee also reflects potential. 4-6mil is not so expensive in those terms. If he only had a year left then we might get him for 2mil.

But why would you pay 6M for a player that is unproven at this level when you could probably look abroad and pick up the same potential about 1 or 2M. Arsene Wenger has been doing it for years.

They slap stupid fees on English players and then people moan we have too many foreign players in the league and the England team is suffering.

I know what you're saying, I think the figures just seem huge considering, it wasnt so long ago that £1mil would be an awful lot of money for the top goal scorer in Leage One or Division Two. In fairness out of the last few to win golden boot in that division, 2 have gone on to score a goal each in The Premiership, Jason Scotland (versus us) & Simon Cox. Although all have proven very good Championship level strikers.

I have a theory - I think this George Friend is key to our left back situation. Weve been recently linked with Cresswell & Bennett of ITFC & Boro....... now these two clubs are both trying to push through deals for Friend........ I think wherever Friend rocks up - there leftback will head to Villa

I wonder if Olsson's TR at Blackburn will interest Lambert.......

This is also very true. If Wenger actually suplimented these players with the odd 25million player they'd walk the league. Here's hoping that Lambert's time in Germany means he has a few contacts and can snap up some cheap German gems.

I hope Lambert tells him to man up!

hopefully in the talks we tell him to **** off

Let's hope we tell him and his agent in direct terms to do one

Could very well be the case.

So clubs should bend over and letter bigger clubs take their best players on the cheap? Maybe we should of relented and sold Barry to Liverpool for cheap so they didn't have to sign a foreigner instead. If a player is under contract then you should pay whatever the selling club want. Remember, they don't have to sell them.

Feyenoord fans speak highly of him. You may be letting a couple of appearances for a shapeless Dutch side cloud your judgement.

well Vlaar and his agent has treated our club with little respect from his quotes and the fact he is also crap.

Collins> Vlaar adn collins is useless

I'm sorry but that is absolute bollocks.
