Premier League teams only sell at massively overrated prices. Joining a mid table team means the end of the career for many talented players.
And unlike what many here think Premier League experience doesn't mean much. Fellaini and a bunch of others can tell you a story about how different it is to play for mid table team compared to a big team.
Interesting that you have made Fellaini the rule and not the exception as united have Ferdinand, Carrick, Jones, Valencia and Rooney who all came from mid-table premier league sides yet made a noticeable impact for United.
Would Benteke have been worth 25m in January? no I don't feel that he would have been, but nor do I feel that would have been his cost I think 15m plus add ons plus Bendtner for the season might have done it. I'm not saying Benteke is definitely better than Giroud although i do think he is more of a goal scorer.
Very disappointed not to have brought a forward in. Huge pressure on Giroud and Podolski to not only hit form but also to stay fit as Ox and Bendtner/Sanogo doesn't scream out title winning potential.
