no one has proved their price tag - since when was the value truly relative? on the international stage he has benzema as the first choice and has played more time as a substitute more than anything else. he is a gamble, you are right there, but after starting two games you write him off? there were and still are question marks over podolski after his failure at bayern, despite his international status.
