Don't agree - at the moment due to the vast sums involved, I'm not really bothered whether we pay £2m or £5m for a player - what matters is what they add to the side.

I don't believe Harte can add anything, whereas I do believe Higginbotham can even if it's only for a season to stabalise. In that respect a player is either worth whatever you can afford to pay for him, or nothing.

He was player of the season in the prem for derby, we sold him almost as soon as we went down. He was always decent for us, but we played him with Chris Riggott at the back and we struggled because neither of them are really dominant in the air. I'm sure he'll do a decent job for sunderland, but he's not worth maybe £3m.

The only reason he was any good was 5 steps and his ears had crossed the finishing line.

And I should rely on your judgement and memory as far as Higginbotham's ability as a Premiership footballer is concerned?

He didn't score 18 in 18 two seasons ago. It's 18 combined in his last 2 seasons. If he'd scored 18 in 18 two seasons ago, Keane would've paid £10M+.
