Title: World Transfer Record
Post by: michael on Tuesday, June 9, 2009, 20:01:48
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_(football)#Highest_transfer_fees

Once again Wikipedia proves itself to be the most reliable website on the web, telling us that Zizou cost €76m, compared to Kaka at €65m.

Haven't seen that reported anywhere else.

Wikipedia would be right in this case, as others have said if comparing like with like, Zizou was more, but in sterling Kaka is worth more because of the shit exchange rate now

It isn't actually a world record fee. Fricken lying jurnos. The deals were done in Euros, the pound values then and now are irrelevant.

Couldn't agree more - sales figures matter more to the tabloid press than the small matter of facts.  Zidane cost more than Kaka.  [Rafa impression]: FACT.
