TEN YEARS AGO CLUBS PURCHASED FOOTBALL STARS FORLESS THEN TWENTY FIVE MILLION POUNDS..

Ten years ago the football world were delighted to see clubs buying great and really talented footballers for not above 25, twenty five million pounds. Today average defenders are costing clubs over fifty million pounds. Real Madrid are willing to pay 163, one hundred and sixty three million pounds for a eighteen year old teenager who had just one good season. Here are the ten footballers , you judge for yourself. 1) Arjen Robben 24twenty four million pounds. 2) Thierry Henry. 16, sixteen million pounds. 3) Frank Ribery. 17, seventeen million pounds. 4) Nicolas Anelka . 17, seventeen million pounds, 5) Luis Nani. 20, twenty million pounds. 6) Pepe. 24, twenty four million pounds. 7) Diego Forlan . 21, twenty million pounds. 8) Fernando Torres .20, twenty million pounds. 9) Wesley Sneijder. 25, twenty five million pounds. 10) Miroslav Klose. 10, ten million pounds. I honestly wonder today what would these ten players be costing.? Or for the matter what would Alan Shearer, Ronaldo, Kaka, Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham be costing clubs today?
