Why would you be willing to pay that much for Higuain but not for Benteke?

I mean, I don't want to pay that much for Higuain, but he's been scoring for a top team in a top league for a long time. Benteke could be a one season wonder for all we know. Villa has produced other players recently who did really well for them but average once they earned moves to bigger clubs.

Suarez and Rooney are probably the only players who are worth the price tag attached. I'd take both in a second. I'd also take Felliani at 25.

I think there is a good chance we will miss out on our transfer targets this summer. Just the way the market is shaping up points in that direction. Now is the season for Wenger to unearth some gems. I'd really like to see us go after Lamela since we struck out on Jovetic. Or Marek Hamsik. Or Adem Ljajic. Or Soldado. All would cost a pretty penny, but we've forced ourselves to overpay for any quality in this market because we missed out on our early targets.
