Nowadays, it's hard to know if a player really deserves the money spent on him, because transfer values are high.
Transfer fees don't show which player is better. It's only a number necessary for a club to get a player.
When a club pays money it's because it's his value in the market.
When I told Arsene Wenger I was leaving, he said to me, 'I have £25m to spend on a few players.' My answer was, 'Obviously, Mr. Wenger, you are not shopping in Harrods. That will only buy you one good player.' Now I have been proved right.
£25million or £30m or £20m - whether you are expensive or not, players are just players.
For you to even enquire about one player, he is expensive. You go to buy a right-back, a left-back, or a central defender, and he is expensive.
If the player performs well and helps us to achieve our goals, nobody will speak about the price of the player.
