Good, beautiful ... and expensive

A little over a decade we practically threw the hair when Real Betis, chaired by Manuel Ruiz de Lopera, throwing the house out the window to hire Denilson de Oliveira. A player, then with a great future in their country and filming commercials for the multinational paid him. It cost a whopping 30 million euros, making it the most expensive signing in the history of football. The expectation was so high that the player ended up falling off the pedestal and transforming a link promising a real disappointment.

The point is to pay 30 million for a player and sounded outrageous in the summer of 98. However, it was a transfer precedent. Thus the set in recent seasons he has spent from the breadfruit was the Real Madrid club, who heads the ranking of most expensive signings in football. Then others joined led by tycoons whose money has been used to reinforce their particular hobby. That is, Chelsea, Manchester City ... And now, seeing the economic mess that exists and the facility to drop the pasta of some 'small' demand for some of his figures what once seemed impossible to claim unless it were gods of football.

One case that most reminds me of the Neyman Denilson, the penultimate jump Pele in the ring. Before it was Robinho, but it remained almost, and now, yes yes, must be the brash young player of Santos. He won a Junior Championship and the Brazilian-as did so many of his countrymen who went unnoticed by the Old Continent, but they ask a fortune for their services, of course. If you want Real Madrid 40 million does not go down. Perhaps, if the person were a whole 'medium' or without such international stature, the 10 kilos did not happen. That Neymar has class, yes. Worth what they ask, or speak.

I am also reminded of a recent strange case. Another crack in Brazil who come here to do 'catacrack'. I speak of Keirrison de Souza, a young Brazilian striker nicknamed fashion - 'K9'-, which pulled down to Barcelona for 16 million two summers ago at a price that apparently seen, returns to smell scam. Coming from Palmeiras, has not played if you want a game with the club that gave it first to Benfica, where Saviola! prevented play, and then to Fiorentina, where he has confirmed that its adaptation to European football has been nil. Interestingly is on loan to Santos, as well as the fashion Neymar, although his name is not on any agenda of any 'big'.

Today, few of the players that sound should cost more than 30 million-record 5,000 million pesetas, which is said suddenly. Of those on the lists, Cesc is certainly one of them. Also Kun. Player-kind, able to decide at will the outcome of a game, young but battle-hardened. By Alexis Sanchez also pay a bit silly. A good season has it either, and would have to see their progression to launch into the pool for their services. Some players are like the summer song, appear and disappear in a seen and unseen, making dance a little bit the same way that we forget them. We need to strengthen the templates, but not at any price.
