If you thought that 16 million is a price tag that is near-impossible to believe, check this out:
Barcelona's vice-president Ferran Soriano, who brokered the deal, admitted recent big-money moves across Europe had dictated that Barca would have pay £16million for Henry.
"There is a certain inflation in the transfer fees with respect to last year," Soriano told Catalan radio station RAC1.
"We can check it [the Henry deal] with the signing of Ribery for Bayern (£17million) and those of Nani and Anderson, who are 18, for Manchester United (£34million).
"There are players who last year cost €10million (£6.7million) and now they cost €15million (£10.1million)."
What the heck is he suggesting, that Henry would have cost 11 million last year? 16 million is an INFLATED price it seems. haha!
BTW, now we absolutely MUST sign a top quality striker. There has recently been talk on Benni McCarthy being targeted by Chelsea, he might be an option we should look at.
