Denilson was once also the most expensive player of the world :agree:

Rossi is just not as loud as Sanchez, that's only because of Sanchez' great technique which makes him hot on the market. By no means does it mean that Sanchez can offer more. It's not the first nor the last one that you see how a player with such characteristics is becoming hyped. Another example is Neymar. Who in his right mind should be ready to splash 40m for a player like him? That's crazy. It just doesn't mean that he's worth 20m (or any) more than Rossi who's got the advantage of being already proven in Europe top leagues.
I'm yet to watch Neymar, so I can't really comment on that.

As for the part of your post I put in bold, I can do nothing but agree with you. It could, easily, be proven right.
Here is the catch: Sanchez is extra talented. Teams see a potential world class, a player who can be one of the very best 3 players in the near future. Someone who'll be worth 60-70m eur. Then again, he can simply flop and be sold for 10m euro. With Rossi you more or less know what you'll get. Not a super talent. He'll never be the very best. But he's a very good player who'll most probably always do well and be worth ~25-30 million euro.
So it's the potential that attracts teams to Sanchez, even though the future might prove them dead wrong.

But with Aguero it's a different story. The boy scores +20 goals four seasons in a row. You know what you get with him too. But he's got enormous talent with which Rossi wasn't blessed and you know that he can reach the 60-70m eur price tag one day. Even if he doesn't and he stays what he is now, he can still always be sold for 30-35m eur.

That, and not their origin, is the reason for their price tags.

Looking at the scoring charts for the last 4 years, Aguero has been in the top 3 twice. Rossi has been no where near that.

Yea, he maybe has the ability to dribble his way through a few players but that doesn't make him a better player. Rossi had a better season, no doubt about that.

If Aguero is as good as he is made out to be I wonder why he is still playing in Atletico, a team in the same level with Villareal.
What a silly argument.

There are tons of amazing players at some 'weaker' club.

You know very well that several big teams have been trying to prise him away from Athleti for some time. Watch this space, Aguero will eventually go to a big team, there is no doubt about that, he's that good. Theres no way Rossi will be playing for a big team unless he's bought to cover for the first team.

It's been several years now that they are always going to be a big team.

Rossi's output is IMO worth 80% of Aguero's output. But still he would be awesome for us. If Aguero is unavailable I say splash 30mil on him.

Last one was the best one.

95% of Italians and 95% of imaginary Italians saying how great their team is, believing in semis or even more in which their later fail :touched: and go into tears. Just great.
That's called ups and downs. Being a fan of a pathetic team like Yugoslavia, Serbia, or whatever, you will never know that, Dusan :smile:

Rossi had a great season and he has improved but Aguero is still way better
Aguero could terrorize the defence with his speed and dribbling in a way Rossi cant
Dont get me wrong Rossi is a great player which I always admired his abilities but Aguero is a much better player

Stats imply something but it doesnt tell the whole story

For like six years? :shocked:
He hasn't really wanted to leave, considering how young he was when he joined. The kid has lit up the European stage since day one, made a name for himself, and probably wanted to guarantee Ath.Mad a lot of money to them by raising his price tag.

He is returning the favor from the faith showed in him.
