Who do Secco think we are? Real Madrid? Barca?...
Lets be honest, even when we (perhaps) was the biggest club in the world, we rarely bought BIG signings from other BIG clubs. Of course we had signings like Vieira, but it was rare.
We used to used our brains when we bought players, like either snapping em up for free or taking players like Cannavaro and Mutu which every other big European club didn't believe would rise again. We used to be one of the best clubs to spot potential when we bought players, of course with Exceptions *Cough* Olivera *Cough*, but generally we were good at spotting the medicore players and develop em to world class...
So my question is, why do we need over hyped players who demand waaaay to much in salary and having a whole team building around them? I am talking about Lampard and Drogba. Secco is trying to much by signing "big" names, instead of big players.
