Torres price.

18.5M wasn't it, and after scoreing enough goals, rising to what?
Anybody know?

[Shaggy]

My understanding is £18m - that's what the Echo always said. I imagine it was around £20m plus Luis, knocking a couple of million off the £20m fee?

I remember at the time Luis was valued at a surprisingly low fee.

I'm sick of hearing commentators and pundits calling him "the £26.5m man".

Yep, £20m. We apparently let Atletico tell the press it was £26.5m because that was his get out clause, and they wanted to make it look as though they couldn't turn it down.

[Morten_nogamst_Pedersen]

But the fee's we have to pay after him scoring a certain amount of goals is on top of that isn't it?
And if so how much?

All transfers are like that really. Whatever it is I'm pretty sure we won't end up paying over £20m. Bargain!

[Oberon]

Worth every bloody penny!

[Icon]

No player in any league in the world is worth the millions that get thrown around.

Bloody get we paid it mind!

[royzared]

350,000 pounds.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

It really doesn't matter what he cost.

Even if he cost £50m he'd be worth it.

Problem is when you buy someone like Kuyt for £10m when he clearly isn't worth it. That's what hurts.

Don't worry i think we will sell Kuyt for £15M in the summer to Newcastle

tbf to kuyt, and ive slagged the lad big time on here befor, he looks half decent playing on the right in a 4-2-3-1 formation so for me the jury is still out on him.

But if we sold him tomorrow, we would get no more than £6million unless we get some sort of daft offer.

exactly mate, thats why i think he maybe a better option than pennant at the mo, and worth keeping

[Matt]

With Kuyt doing better now (and he put in one good ball yesterday in 10 minutes than Pennant managed all game) I think he'll stay, especially with Rafa's comments last week about Dutch players needing a couple of years to fully get to grips with the Prem.

It's Crouch who's the square peg in a round hole if we're going to use this new system week in, week out.

crouchy's got to be worth around 10 mil in todays "anybody english is a lot dearer" market

if rafa signs a new striker in the summer then crouchy should leave, man city or borecodes must be sniffing him out

just checking it worked!
