Wrong way to look at it.
Why can't look this way? For that amount of money who can we buy instead? Or why don't you compare it to Villa's 40mln transfer?
Villa, who is a world class striker. If Pazzo is worth 22, then Villa is worth 122.
Why is it a wrong way to look at it?
As I have said before, you can
always look at it from entirely different perspectives.
If Melo cost us 25m € & Amauri cost us 22-23m €, then about 22m € for Pazzini is a realistic price. It may even be a tad on the cheap side if you're honest.
But if you look at how much Inter paid for someone like Sneijder, then 22m € for Pazzini is too much.
No need to bring Villa into the argument. There was no possibility whatsoever that he would be joining us. Even if we did come up with 40 million.
Plus, you shouldn't only look at transfer prices, salaries are just as important. A fact that most people tend to overlook when talking / dreaming about signings like Villa, Benzema, etc.
Look, I'm not saying we need to sign Pazzini. We don't even need new attackers for all I care. But from the looks of it, we're going to get one anyway.
And if that is indeed the case, Pazzini would be one of my top picks.
