Alba isn't going for 9m based on this on the Beeb:


At left-back, Valencia's Jordi Alba had an excellent debut. Assured in defence and quick to join in every attack, he looks a much better bet than either World Cup-winner Joan Capdevila or Real Madrid's Alvaro Arbeloa, who would much prefer to play on the right. Liverpool's in-form Jose Enrique can't even get a look in.

All my players for the next couple of weeks are NFS until the TPs are open again (unless I get a silly bid in).

De Rossi > Falcao

Lamela > Gaitan

An sorry I do not have CF syndrome, De Rossi is the best midfielder in this league and you are not offering me a world class player. So I don't think it's worth me getting "murked".
