None of the big clubs wanted Krasic (Man City is not a big club yet) and we bought him for 15 mil, did we make a mistake again?
But we bought Diego for 25 mil? We bought what we thought was a WC player who will take us places. Krasic is a completely different thing.

It started way before that, in some random thread. My initial point was never Modric is better than Diego, it was Modric is a more complete player and more suited for us. Than after being laughed at by people who saw Modric play two times in their lives and me getting irritated all hell broke loose.

Fact is those people who were pro-Diego, expected him or wanted him to be our Kaka. Which he wasn't and never would be. Buying someone like Modric who makes the whole midfield tick was and still is IMO far better than buying a free-scoring trequartista who needs the whole team playing for him to shine. Even in that respect Diego failed, since when we bought him the team was tailor-made for him. Just that it never ticked like it should have. Surely Diego isn't the only one to blame, but people are too blind to see in a very short time we changed our whole approach and game plan to suit him, yet it didn't work.

Sure we need to reconsider the whole previous season and the devaluation of the prices of our players.
We were about to exchange Melo for Clichy if I remember correctly, last year that would be silly as Diego for 15 mil.
