Actually makes sense with the French government trying to go after Monaco so they pay out more. He's played one league match that they won 2-0 so he cost 60 million to get his club three league points.
I agree. He only went to Monaco because his club wouldn't sell him to their Madrid rivals. Now he's supposedly leaving Monaco he can go to Real earlier than expected, like he originally wanted to. It wont stop rumours of Arsenal being after him though.
I remember him from the '82 world cup. He must be knocking on a bit now but I bet he's still some player.
