Soccer Math

If the price of a soccer player reflects its value and contribution to the team, then I don't (and won't ever) get this:

Thierry Henry: Sold from Arsenal to Barcelona for 16 million pounds.

Darren Bent: Sold from Charlton Athletic to Tottenham Hotspur for 16.5 million pounds.

Anyone who can explain to me why Bent is 500,000 quid more expensive than Henry deserves an OBE.

An Overpriced Buying Error, that is.
