      When Kenny signed Shearer for Blackburn for £3.3 million
      everybody thought he'd gone mad!
      Couple of years later he's on his way to Newcastle for £15 million!
      Couple more years down the line us & utd are still trying to pay
      ever more for him!

      Kenny Knows....

      Age is a big factor when you are working out value, if you buy them young then they still have resale value five years down the line, if you buy them 27+ you won't be getting any money back on them and pretty much every penny of the transfer fee was invested in the player.

      with the fifa rules coming in round the corner. it will raise the price of young star quality players. but lfc will have to suck it up. transfers are always a risk as there are so many variables in the mix. injuries play such a big part in mix.the latest signing jordan henderson seems to have talent and is durable. sure he has competition but we need depth if we want to be #1. stevie is dropping many games to injuries and could be in the twilight of his long career?.
