2013 Summer Transfer Window Thread gets continued another time!

[Dolphin Ziggler]

First topic message reminder :

We are just under three weeks away from the end of the window, when it slams shut, and none of the big names from the Premier League have gone anywhere. Suarez, Rooney, Bale could all leave, but the tables have turned and at least 2 of the 3 look likely to stay where they are. 

Will business slow down as the Premier League season starts this Saturday before a late flurry as panic sets in, squads are closer to confirmation and the window closes?

Everyone else, the facepalm is demonstrate hitting my head against the wall as such a simple concept seems to be beyond you. By your definitions nobody would EVER pay over the odds for ANYTHING if price ALWAYS meant worth.

It doesn't. To use 'Jezza''s example, you've changed the note. The note is still worth only £5 but the signature has additional value. So it's a fallacious example. If Fellaini suddenly had Ronaldo's pace and Messi's ball control he would indeed be 'worth' a lot more. That fact is he hasn't, therefore he isn't. The fact United may have to pay more does not indicate worth, merely what had to be paid in order to buy him.
