A Rodgers mug buy. I can't see the Yanks putting up with his Irish blarney for much longer

We all said what a crazy buy on here Ded but no one listened

Didn't Chelsea buy Torres for £50M?

ManU paid £12M for Wilfried Zaha who did squat, and that was a Fergie buy. Not forgetting £26M for Anderson back in 2007, 8 years - 9 goals, a huge fee then.

Balo was a gamble, and hasn't started many games. We knew he was lazy, but he's done better than podgy Lambert

True Keith but both United players were somewhat unknown ability wise we all knew Balo was a joke buy before you got him and let's not forget that amazing flop Andy Carrol who you paid shed loads for

2 for the price of 1 Les comparing that pair with dud buy Torres

[KeithD]

Balo has unknown ability, he has no idea where it is

Also it seemed Torres was the man when Chelsea bought him he was just a one or 2 season wonder I guess

He was crap for the 6 months prior to being sold, as he never got over his injury. But the Chelski boss wanted him at any cost.

I think most folk would agree that 1 goal every 4 matches for a £50M is really crap, you should get a Ronaldo/Messi level of goals at that price. Balo has been crap, but he hasn't started many games. A lot of City players have been pants this season, and they don't come cheap.
