Thanks Mardingbob
But I think some of those figures had to have been pulled out of thin air! Like Ahinful, Johnson who is getting on in years, and Addo who continues to oscillate at Dortmund. BTW what of the guy in Greece- Olympiakos?

Alex Nayrko £3 million.

In England a Sunday League player has more value than Alex. Where you get dat figure from. You gotta be kidding.

Any coach wey pay more than £10,000 for am needs to be shot. what has he done since his big money move to Everton?
