£32 million for Tevez

He is a good player, but he isn't worth that amount. I thought he was going to cost around £20 million and i wasn't sure he was really worth that, so i don't know where £32 million has suddenly appeared from.

This makes the lib dems decision to veer to the right very strange to me. For all the seats they miay lose to the tories in the south they must have a great chance of picking up at least an equivalent amount of seats from labour in the north. And with labour rudderless and not appearing to stand for anything at the moment. There must be some kind of long term chance to replace labour as the party of the left. Instead they have tagged to the right to save a few seats from the tories in the south, it seems unbelievably shortsighted to me. So far Nick Clegg has proved to be as bland and visionless as he looked like he was going to be in the leadership contest. As for labout they have to go back to being a social democratic party surely, the uber Blairites must be defeated and ultimately they will join the party where they belong the Tory party. And they must embrace electoral reform at last, just think if they had brought this in in time for the next election. We wouldn't be talking about Tory landslides would we.

I don't think changing leaders will do much for their prospects but it may be on the cards
