    Given that he told us all that he was going to be the greatest footballer on Earth, he may well become the world's first £300million player.

    I really cannot understand why he was given stick for suggesting that he wanted to be the very best at his profession. Would you prefer a player who aspired to mediocrity?

    Similar to the "why on earth did Song sign for Barcelona?" argument.

    What was he meant to do

    "sorry Pep, are you sure you want to sign me, you know I'm not actually that good."
