Henderson for £17m was a fair price IMO, he needed a while to get into the LFC system but last season he was one of their best performers behind Suarez and Sturridge
When he got sent off in injury time against City I just had a terrible feeling for Liverpool as he'd been quality for them all year, he's one of those players who does what's asked gives 100% every minute he's on the pitch, now knows his strengths and plays to them.
Henderson missing the Palace & Chelsea games cost Liverpool IMO, he would have kept them going at 3 up against Palace as he never seems to take his foot off the gas and although I think Chelsea were still capable of winning at Anfield I think Henderson in his role could have affected the result.
Allen was also good from what I seen of him

Some player & some guy that lad. Amazing to think he went to Galaxy then played in 2 champions league 1/4s with Milan & PSG. quite simply one of the most outstanding players in an England shirt i've seen in my lifetime. the Greece game is still the best all round performance by a single player i've ever seen for England. Somebody off here(whose name escapes me) reckons he had a shit game that day apart from the free kick he scored  |

Fulham's new 23 million strikeforce takes some beating.
Palacios is Stoke's biggest waste of money, but I don't think there's been a single one who's looked like a ridiculous rip off from the moment the signing was announced?

Fellaini - £27m (played out of position in a system that doesn't suit)
Torres - £50m (110 games 20 goals, all that needs to be said)
Carroll - £54m (two transfers, not pulled up many trees since leaving tyneside)
Lamela - £30m (not one positive headline last season)
Wolfswinkle - £10m (Did he do anything?)
Cornelius - £8m (Sent back in Jan for less than half his price)
just some of the recent complete flops for big money I can think of without mentioning Downing, Shevchenko, Robinho, Jo, Palacios etc

I predicted this when the new TV deals were announced last year only I didn't realise how inflated transfer fees would become. I now await the first £500k a week contract with "bated breath". Great pity, no it's atrocious actually, some of the extra money isn't earmarked by clubs to permanently reduce ticket prices at or below £20. Looking at club turn over vs gate revenue shows that most clubs gate receipts are <10% of turnover. Tbf I'm disabled and some of the ST packages on offer are great, paid about £380 for my season + a free one for my carer ( a position where there is much competition  ) so that works out at exactly a tenner a game each. Which I thought was extremely reasonable. I regignize the unusual nature of my situation just saying like |

Joe Allen.  Henderson is another but he has done orate for Liverpool. But Allen? I don't know where Werrers finds 'em but I haven't seen many have a good word to say, the useful fucker barely plays anyway. |

David Luiz..... £50 Mill...? He wasn't worth half that even before his World Cup performance... I'd be filing that one under "Hope you kept the receipt"...
