Man, this guy is phenomenal, but at what price?
I've been saying for months (not on this forum though) that our top priorities in the summer is a right back and a striker, but when I hear the names being thrown about, I'm starting to worry, because we have to remember how much debt the Glazers have saddled the club with.
Fergie spent 50mil, by all accounts and reports to bring in Anderson, Nani and Hargreaves and it will cost 20 mil to make the Tevez deal permanent. (not including wages, I've seen the 35 mil figure, but think it ridiculous to report transfers like that).
I think he spent so much last summer, thinking he wouldn't have to do so this summer. That's why I think Alves, Berbatov and Benzema (even, if he wanted to join us) are out of contention.
The price for all three above have been above the 30mil mark, so I think Huntelaar at the touted prices of 16-20 mil and Lahm 6-8 mil are very doable. Especially, if Fergie really wants to make the Tevez deal permanent this summer already. Personally, I love the tenacity of Tevez. It's like having two Rooneys, but I just don't think he's worth that much.
So in my dream team, I would of course have Alves and Benzema and if that ever happens ....well...... if that ever happens, I'm going to be a very, very happy man, but it's unlikely to happen.
What a dream though

Brown
