well there is player value and then there is market value. özil cost madrid like what? € 12 million? he wasn't an unknown random when madrid bought him, it just was the last chance for bremen to see any money at all because he wouldn't have renewed his contract. and with fellaini it was the opposite - here it was the new club that had to act to make the transfer happen at a certain point, that obviously increases the price.
i'm still convinced the fellaini deal is good for united, but only time will tell obviously.
I'd like to see him to well obviously, but he'll be under extra pressure after being bought for so much, his advantage is though he's used to play in the Prem.
Deals like Ozil's are rarity, it's more of an exception rather than the rule.
