Pretty sure it was more than £30 million, with all the clauses and everything. Regardless, I agree £24 million for a 29yo is a bit much. That being said, have you seen the recent transfer prices lately? No wonder clubs go into debt left and right, between buying players and paying them, it's a fucking asylum...

I think this is a great signing for Utd, takes some pressure off Rooney, someone else to create chances and put the chances Rooney creates, away! I think it will also enable him to score more goals this season then ever before.

You mean like he created chances and put them away in the EC? ;)
