Tottenham striker Darren Bent has brushed off criticism of his £16.5million price tag - and feels Barcelona got Thierry Henry 'on the cheap'.
Bent's move from Charlton was confirmed on Friday for a fee that eclipses by £500,000 that for Arsenal legend Henry's switch to Barca.
Despite his potential, the 23-year-old has yet to establish himself in the England team - but Bent is not concerned by figures.
He told BBC Radio Five Live: "To be fair I think Barca got Thierry on the cheap as I'd have put him in the £30million bracket, so it's surprising he went for so little money.
"It's nothing to do with me. Charlton put the price tag on my head, I'm just grateful that Spurs took it.
"I was disappointed to leave Charlton - I had a great time there but I wish them all the best."
Bent decided to leave the Addicks following their relegation from the Premier League - but he is joining a club where competition among forwards is already great.
Dimitar Berbatov, Robbie Keane and Jermain Defoe give the club a wealth of striking talent and Bent expects a tough fight for his place.
He added: "They have several internationals there already, and as long as I can go there and fight the cause and help Tottenham get into the top bracket then I'll be delighted.
"I think it's a bit unfair to talk about me and Berbatov because Robbie and Jermain were both fantastic last season.
"It's going to be difficult and I don't expect to walk into the team but I know the challenge and if I'm firing, Berbatov's firing and Robbie's firing and Jermain's firing, that can only be good for Tottenham."
Bent, who turned down West Ham, is particularly excited about the challenge of playing for a club capable of pushing for a top-four place and competing in Europe.
He said: "They are a massive club and in the last two years they have been brilliant.
"They have finished fifth and then fifth, hopefully this year we can do the same or if not we can break into the top four.
"That's what I'm there to do and hopefully that's what will happen. I'm there to improve and hopefully I can improve with Tottenham."
On his decision to reject the Hammers, he added: "It does become difficult but money isn't everything.
"You've got to be focused, you've got to be a strong character and know what you want and I want to play at the top level. I want play in Europe. And for me that was Tottenham."
