Transfer Madness

So the poncy Portugeezer has finally flounced off to Madrid, to be joined by another former world footballer of the year, Kaka, for the combined sum of around £150 million quid, A lot of cash, for sure. By my reckoning you could get 300 million Joe Colbecks for a similar price. But it doesn't stop there. Other players looking to be traded for £40 million plus include Frank Riberry, Karim Benzema and David Villa. But the strangest rumour concerns Inter Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. His agent has proclaimed him to be the worlds greatest striker, and as such worth at least £80 million. I was even more surprised to find out that tall Swedish hit man is thought to be the world highest played player. Now I have seen this fella play before, when he was at Ajax, and his playing style is very reminiscent of our dearly departed Super Barry Conlon. He is a better player, for sure, but 80 million? Paid more than Messi? Or Rooney? He may have been the highest goal scorer in the Italian first division, but for the last couple of seasons the scuddetto has served up a standard on a par with the Scottish Premier. And to top it off he plays for the best team, by a country mile, in that division. Even the King of the Pixies, Mr Sandro Pirici could rattle a few in if you stuck him upfront against some of the dross that play in Italy's top league. Look at his goal scoring "Feats" in the last 16 off the champions league. Or maybe not, as he rattled in the sum total of zero goals. All I can say to Mr Ibrahimovic is that the only thing that can be considered the best in the world involving yourself,would be your agent. Better than Fernanado Torres? My wrinkled scrotum.
