Surely the only way to sign world class players who DON'T see themselves in Madrid or Barca in 3-4 years time is to only buy the ones who are too old to command any interest from such clubs?

When's the last time we had a marquee player who didn't end up being linked with such a club? Bergkamp? Pires, at a push?

Or sign their rejects. RvP wasn't linked with them as far as i can remember but he's probably the only truly world class player we've had in recent times who wasn't.

Yeah but we still lost him to a bigger more attractive club, so
