A sudden and massive jump in their Suarez bid right after they get bids for Torres doesn't scream to anyone else of making sure they get the deal done before the window is over so they aren't left without a striker. Nor screams they suddenly think they'll have more money available?
As for Adam's passing stats vs Alonso, different years, a completely different league and less good players around him.
How often does having good/fast wingers in the past one of Gerrards 50 yard passes into a corner look like a great pace when Bellamy or Garcia managed to catch up to it.
Better players read passes better, Fabregas VERY rarely has a bad game but people who try long distance or more attacking passing will invariably have lower pass completion rates, Song often beats Fabregas in that respect, is Song a better passer? Adam's is also more attacking than Alonso was, you're basically talking about the sitting midfield player in Alonso vs a box to box player in Adams. The further forward you get often shows a worse pass completion rate.
Adam's is decent, and this is not to mention that Alonso went for 30million didn't he. So not sure where the argument of not worth 10-15mil stacks up with, not as good as Alonso, unless of course Alonso was also sold for 10-15mil. Adam's isn't exactly the worlds best player but, Babel, whose done essentially nothing for 3 years just went for 6-7million.
