Piss take?
Depends on how he's judging it. In terms of pure success - sure, I could go with Rooney for that, but in terms of general success, its silly.
Newcastle had a top striker for 10 years for £15m. That's Mike Ashley levels of value for money!
Yeah, if you go by the former's rule then 99% of transfers outside of the top 4-5 don't have a hope of justifying there fee!
We couldn't have gotten a better player for value than we did with Shearer tbh, and we could have sold him for a hell of a lot more during his time here.
