We're Paying Too Much ...

for Craig Gardner.

McLeish says he is worth his weight in gold. At the current price of gold of about 678 pounds an ounce, and with Gardner weighing about 11st 13lb, that's roughly $1.81 million.

We're paying about $3 million. Too much. ;-)

Immediately flawed as we're paying in pounds (£) not dollars ($) :P :whistle:

good point though. lol
on the subject of what players are worth, i worked on a labs building recently that cost 60 million, took two and a half years to build by one of the biggest contractors in the country, with what must have been 40 different companies and 300 people all told. Ronaldo alone cost 20 million more than that :ph43r:
time for some perspective maybe?

So what are you saying?

.........if Ronaldo was one of the contractors then the building would have cost 140 million?

...or it took more than 40 companies and 300 people to build Ronaldo?

...or Ronaldo weighs 526st 3lbs?

Try using <Alt> 0,1,6,3

You need to use the numeric keypad, so depending on your laptop keypad, that might mean using the <Fn> key as well? **thumbup

Every time you put your number in, then you put a: P, then a O, then a U, then an N, then a D, then an S.

e.g.

32pounds

or to be a bad man

32lbs
