IMO, masch's fee is around that value, 12-15m. the problem is his corintians's valuation is 25m.

Bullshit. Diarra is rated as by far the best defensive midfielder in France for three years already. Maybe you haven't read the interview of Juninho Pernambucanho where he says that Diarra is a beast and is the absolute boss on the pitch.
Maschenero is valued at around 10 million and probably wouldnt fetch much more than 12-15.
And Diarra and Maschenero are probably the 2 most sought after semi-available DMs in the world. We dont sign player shwo are that sought after, never have never will.
1) It's Mascherano
2) His fee is not £12-15m. If that was his fee, ManU would have signed him, as he's a gazillion times better than Carrick.

Before the world cup, when I wrote that, he wasnt as highly valued as he is now.You havent a clue what Man Utd would or wouldnt have done. Last time Fergie signed a supposedly top notch midfielder the whle thing blew up in his face. He signed Carrick because it minimses the risk. United arent as rich as they were(comparitively) and cant afford to sign someone for 15 million who could fail. Carrick gaurantees a certain level. He'll be solid. Thats what they paid for.
Amadeor said:I would say if they sign Carrick for £18m when they can sign Mascherano for £12-15m, it's not me who hasn't got a clue, but ManU themselves. Every team in Europe wants Mascherano. He's seen as the future best defensive midfielder in the world, and was without any doubt the very best one at the world cup. This, while Carrick was outshone by Hargreaves. To sign Carrick for more money than Mascherano would be criminal, mindboggling, incomprehensible to the extreme. I almost can't describe it.
Veron wasn't a success at ManU because he lacks the speed of thought and the pace to do well. In exactly the same way, Riquelme doesn't fit the PL. However, anybody can see that Mascherano is the perfect player for the premiership, as the moment he gets the ball, he knows where to put it, and always has options.
