I didn't see a sports forum anywhere, so I'll just put this here.
Chelsea paid 50 million pounds ($80 million) for Torres, the 4th highest ever for a football player. Frankly, I don't think he's worth it. Even when Torres was at his best can you honestly say he was the fourth best in the world? I don't think so. And he has been in poor form for so long.
All this money being thrown around in football ("soccer" for Americans, my apologies) disturbs me. Yes I know people may do what they want with their money. And in a recession too. Aren't most of the major clubs in serious debt?
Btw, how does this compare to what Americans pay for their sports players, I'm curious to know?
