I still don't think he's that good of a player, and fergusson could have probably got a similar/better player from around europe for half the price. But it's worked out for them and they're top of the league, however i'd put that more down to ronaldo's form than anything else, not Carrick.
    Like it or not Carrick has played his part!

    18.5m will always seem too much, i suspect to Alex as well. But he needed that kind of player end of, hargreaves wasn't available so he pushed the boat out and got an alternative.

    You say he could have got a cheaper alternative elsewhere - i disagree. Carrick slotted right into the team and the premiership... Alex is no fool, a drunk yes, a fool no!

      When deciding the value of a player, clubs dont just look at his ability on the pitch. They look at personality, the job at hand, will he adapt to the squad, the league, the manager, will he improve the team, are we more likely to win something with him on board, how many shirts will he sell.

      Are there better defensive midfielders out there? Yes of course, we have 4 of them.
      Was Carrick the right man for ManU? Absolutely.
      Was he worth 18.5m? For ManU at that particular time, Yes.

        Fergie doesn't do big money mistakes. If you look at his transfer record and looks at all the players that costed more than £10m then all of them have been worth their money.

        He is an excellent manager. One of the all time greats.
        Just believe and you never know what will happen.

        According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

          Put it this way. If Rafa identifies someone who could be a vital cog in our wheel then he will go for it, no matter about the price. It's what Ferguson has done in the past re:Carrick, Rooney etc ... The thing is to identify the right player for our team and for what it's missing, it could be a bargain buy ala Voronin or a big transfer such as Eto'o.

              Veron was a cracking player but didn't fit into their team nor adapted to English football.

                He's played his part yes, but he's not an outstanding player and would only class him as above average, sure they needed that type of player, we got Alonso for 10.5mil because rafa made a smart purchase, slur alex got carrick for 18.5 mil becuase he isn't as shrewd a manager. Point still stands that carrick isn't worth 18.5mil of anyones money, wether he helped man u get the title or not (which by the way they don't have yet). Like I said Ronaldo has been their star performer not Carrick.

                    Forlan... there have been other mistakes. All managers will make them, impossible for forsee how all players turn out. 80%+ for big signings is great IMO.

                        Saha?
                        The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers and you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
