What you're missing here is that these players 'weren't for sale'. This is why the clubs demanded huge transfer fees - both Drogba and Essien were vital to their teams in France, so £20m was always going to be a starting point. Most teams are forced to accept that they won't be able to buy the player, but Chelsea and Man United (to a lesser extent) will just stump up the cash anyway.

Likewise, Carrick wasn't for sale. He was key to Spurs' team that nearly made the Champions League last season. The fact is that Man United could afford £18m, so they were able to buy him.

For Chelsea money, Carvalho was worth every penny. Great central defender.

I'm not certain about criticising this - he's a superb player. The transfer saga surrounding it is a whole different story
