You always have to pay more for youth and potential. Plus Henry's wages push his transfer fee down

The guy's now 22/23 ish, i would say that is at, or approaching his peak for a striker.he is not going to get any better, he will never first choice for his country, in fact will struggle to get into the match 16 for England. The  bloke is not worth 16.5 million pounds on a football or commercial aspect, simple as

I think its a good deal IMO. Of course Bent is going to cost more than Henry. He's about 7 years younger and he's English of course. Henry has peaked and could be a bit injury prone now. I am sure Spurs will fly next season and fully expect them to finish above Arsenal who could atruggle upfront.

Peaked at 29??? :shock:
His best years are possibly still ahead of him.

I think Ipswich get about £2.5m via sell-on clause

arsenals reserves beat spurs last season.

Who cares about the reserves league though?

£16 million seems a bit high but good player to buy.

Good signing, bad price. That is all.
