Yeah, we all want bale and messi, but now lets look at it from a realistic point of vew
1) stop linking ribery, nani and hazard. We cant pay nani wage, cant attract ribery, cant pay fee for hazard. we cant get them, peroid.

I don't agree with that Zach. The thing is, we have our priorities all over the place. With the budget we have for this mercato, we could easily focus all our energies on any one of those three names. Its a matter of being clear as to what we want. When we're spending 30m on Rossi, I know we have the money to make a key signing on LW, which won't only bring the balance we have been missing all of last season, but actually add dimension to our play. If we had the money to pay Aguero's wages, we could easily offer these players a salary they want, and it wont even be as much as Aguero. We just have to want to do it, which in my opinion we don't, because we have a small time sporting director who has been brought up at smaller clubs that work on the rationale of buying a lot of players in cheap deals than buying quality players that make the difference. It's a fallacy to believe that we cant get the above mentioned players only because we don't have champions league to offer one season. Yes, that's a point of discussion for them, but for the right kind of economic offer, they would consider a switch. I've said it before, I'll say it again. Rossi is not needed for 30m when you can get Cassano for 10. Lugano for 3m, Coates for 2.5m. I would spend more than half my budget to get that key player on the left, because it will make or break our season. But then again, Marrotta doesn't have the brains to think that far ahead. He knows if he fails this season, he can blame Conte and buy 11 new players next season again.
