Manchester united have supposedly just paid £37 million for 21 Year old ( yeah right) defensive midfielder William Carvalho.

Looking at his goal record on wikipedia it's pretty poor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Carvalho.
He only scored 3 goals in 48 games when on loan to Belgian side Cercle Brugge and he scored 3 goals in 13 games at Portuguese 3rd division club Fatima and 3 goals in 23 games for Sporting Lisbon. So he has scored only 9 league goals from midfield his entire career and is worth £37 million. I notice when a black midfielder has the inability to shoot and score the media labels them a defensive midfielder.
Compare him to an underrated white midfielder like Kevin Nolan who had scored 18 league goals by age 21 in 3 seasons. Playing in the more difficult premier league yet he has never been sold for more than £5 million.
