    ok
    Remeber we have to factor in how rare these players are and age, resale value and comercial value.

    Three or 4 years ago, Henry would have been 25 and totti and Sheva would have been 26.

    It wasn't clear what you were saying - its undeniable that back then he was in the same class as them, financially at least, so why reassert it?

    Didn't Chelsea make a £50m bid for him 2 summers ago?

    27 million

    Cech - You can say crazy for a keeoper but at 24 if he remains at this level until say 38 that's 14 years of good service. I mean that works out to about 1.9 million a year, very worth it.

    Eto, Kaka, Ronnie, De Rossi.

    That's about it really.

    All I was saying is that its sad (but true) that Adriano is considered along with the "past their prime" superstars...

    Yeah, Chelsea did... I bet Moratti is kicking himself now Doh Well, he did the same thing with Recoba in 1999!! Juve offered us a world record transfer fee, and we turned it down ;(

    Personally I think he'd be well worth a punt for someone. He's shown in the past that he is capable of magical performances, he just seems to have stagnated at Inter.

    Valencia would be a good move for him I reckon, they'd have the money + their style would suit him well, and it would be a breath of fresh air for him playing in a new league. You could do a swap for Villa Wink

    Not at the mo, coz VAlencia will surely ask for Adriano+cash... If I were Moratti, I would buy Tevez and loan Adriano out for a season (to fiorentina or somewhere in spain)... wait for him to flourish, them either recall him or sell him for >30M Wink

    You would have to pay us to take him. We don't need him, nor do we want him except on our terms extremely cheap and you seem to have forgotten we don't have Carboni any more to give Villa away Wink

    otto hat Euch alle lieb wrote:if you take away marketing and shirt sales considerations , virtually nobody is worth that much money

    we are talking about players who

    a) could be quiet but improve the TEAM immeasurably

    or

    b) single-handedly lift the club to another level

    to a)

    -Lehmann when the team reached the CL Final

    -Klose at Bayern this season

    -Ballack at Bayern

    to b)

    - Drogba at Chelsea

    - Henry at Arsenal in the olden days

    ----------------------

    Kaka ,Ronnie, Messi and Co should never be on that list

    ---------------------

    Torres is worth 5 million Euro in Bundesliga terms

    if Benitez had any credit left, it's gone now

    I'd take a punt at loaning him for a season!

    ok

    We couldn't lose really. Unless he caused disharmony with other players (not sure what his character is like).

    If Adriano went to Utd - I may cry.

    He'd certainly be motivated to put a lot of people wrong, and he's got a lot of power, even by EPL standards. Can see him smashing backlines to pieces week after week if he's motivated No

    Come to think of it, I rather Adriano sits on the Inter bench than go to a direct Sscudetto or CL rival... he has too much potential to be sold off cheap!!

    Or loan him to a non-CL team Wink
