Inflation

It is one of the givens of life really - along with change, life and death. But there are price rises due to inflation and then there are football prices. The two shoud certainly not be confused! Yes, David Villa has 4 goals to his name so far and will currently walk away with the golden boot but should that fact justify his price, according to media sources, growing from €16 million to €25 million, especially after a disappointing season at Valencia (by his standards). Perhaps he was previously underpriced but it does make you wonder where managers can find real bargains any more...I recommend the 2 for £2 Covent Garden soups - delicious, nutritious and will give you immense satisfaction for at least 15 minutes. ;-)
