Great signing for Arsenal.
Good player alright, very much in the "Arsenal" mould. Approx £7m which is a decent price. Am I right in thinking that Dortmund paid about double that to get him from Sparta Prague?? I'm sure I read that somewhere.....
yeah i'm almost sure they paid 12/13 million to sign him from Sparta. There in dire financial trouble, hence the quick cheap sell.
I read it was 18m sterling.
I stand corrected - "He cost Dortmund £18m - a Bundesliga record - when he arrived from Sparta Prague in 2001. "
I think this opens the door for Pires to leave. Rosicky and Hleb are much younger whereas Pires is on the downside of his career.
Madness...it's not as if Prague was a team that could DEMAND figures like that. Dortmund went through a crazy phase though spending huge amounts on players and it was a gamble that didn't pay off. I think they also spent £18 on that Brazilian striker from Parma who's name escapes me for the moment...Quote:
