Well, it's better to avoid it because the cost is higher. Granted Ferguson isn't so stupid as to blow £35 million on an Andy Carroll but it still represents worse value. United needed a central midfielder prior to Fletcher's illness (get well soon) anyway, especially one with some creativity, I was surprised they didn't appear to be after Modric.
