So would I, but that doesn't mean Adama is overrated either. Over priced, probably, but you could say that about the vast majority of transfer fees now.
I hate being out of the top flight with a passion. However the thought of being part of that transfer circus isn't something I look forward to.
In reality if you make it into the prem you finish up no better off as you blow all the tv money on transfers and wages. The only ones that see a big benefit are the agents.

I hated it when we were paying the likes of Luke Young and Habib Beye 40 grand a week - nowadays they'd probably be on four times that!

Don't forget the "poor" Managers on mere £3M , the going rate, a year.
Previous summer he went to Boro for about 2m and I'd imagine 20-25k a week.I liked him aswell but that was the time to sign him as he hardly turned into Cafu in smoggy land.Instead MON was content to sign Davies and Zat Knight and play Mellberg at RB....
