Adi Akinbuyeeeee , must have been overated by someone for us to have paid what we did for him (1.15 million from memory - back in the day when that was still a lot of money- relatively speaking)

I'm surprised Harry Kane hasn't had a mention yet. Is it me, or is he really worth £150m? I think there's a lot of hype around him and there's no wonder that Man City walked away.

Mind you, after failing to score against Southampton yesterday, maybe even Harry might have helped.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

It was reported that with the transfer, wages and agent fees Harland would have cost Chelsea £500m over five years so they signed Lukaku instead.
What would Jimmy Greaves be worth in this market?

Have to agree with you Palazio - a tragic waste. Bit like Elvis really, although his problems were Colonel Parker and drugs.

I agree with the OP - I think Giroud is one of the most overrated in recent years.

To play every game upfront for a World Cup winning team and not score a goal is almost unbelievable.

Arsenal should have won the league in 15/16 - Sanchez and Ozil were two of the best creative players in the league, and if it wasn't for Giroud going on a 15-game goalless spell, they would've pipped Leicester to it.

The reason he was never first choice at Chelsea is simply because they knew, whilst a decent back-up, he is not a reliable enough goalscorer to be the main striker in a team aiming to win titles.
