I'd have thought Valencia would be the question mark at Man Utd, but it would be silly to get him. If either are willing to leave then great, I think Nani said that he'll remain in Manchester though. Ribéry I don't know, our biggest shot is using Toni, but Bayern hate Juventus.

All thanks to Willy Sagnol.

I'm running out of excuses to make for the decisions this club makes. Our financial standing is a lot better than a lot of clubs and fair compared to the big clubs. If we want to be taken seriously again we need to start signing world class players. Why everyone tries to rationalize signing anything less than that is beyond me. If Man Shitty, a club with no history and no major trophy to date to boast about can continue to sign top notch players simply because they can then we, with our name and history despite our current state, ought to be able to splash some cash on ONE world class player and offer him a fat paycheck if it means returning to glory.

As things stand across his career, it would be safe to conclude he isn't a star signing. That's a fact. He's a good player. But that's not what we needed when we went out looking for a game changing one.
thats a fact lol cmon man I'm not saying rossi is great but when all these guys put the numbers up here comparing aguero and rossis carrier they werent that different and aguero's numbers were slightly better , yet you all act like aguero would be akin to Jesus

Sanchez wanted Barca, Pastore does not suit Conte's style and I am not convinced by him, Higuain and Benzema are not available, Hazard is a winger right? I was talking about SS.

Wasnt there a very clear approach from us, in which they spelt out demands, and we left them with a sorry excuse of an offer? If Aguero was our first priority, which I firmly believe he was, we enquired and should have paid the 40m asking price with immediate effect, clear about our intentions on the mercato. Instead, we went from Sanchez, to Aguero, to Rossi. Too many variables in the Sanchez deal to complain about, but here, our own confusion got to us before ManCity did. The agreement with Aguero was in place, we didn't close with his club because we have a bunch of incompetents trying to run a market on our terms. We couldn't get Martinez on our terms, how were we aiming to get Aguero? We dropped the ball. I get your bit about Atletico holding out, but our approach didn't help. As for the ManCity billion dollar owner, that's the point I was trying to make. Our one marquee signing would've come had we made some economic sacrifices which we are refusing to do. The money IMO has been there before this year, to make a signing that makes a difference even under our current conditions. Money talks.


We're obviously not Aguero's first choice, so even if we did wrap up things quickly with AM its likely that he would have wanted to wait for other offers.

He was the better signing. If he wasn't ever mentioned or didn't exist, and we had Lionel Messi or Karim Benzema in our ranks, we'd all welcome Rossi happily. Coz hes an excellent addition to a good team, but only a decent addition to an average team coz nothing around him is much better. Which means we needed somebody who could make the difference.

This is completely underwhelming. I mean, it's not like he's a mediocre player or anything like that, but Rossi is far from being a star signing, a marketable player or anything of the sort. Rossi will not change a game for us, will not create a goal out of nowhere when no one has any ideas.

But hey, he's cheaper than Aguero and we buy him on OUR terms. That's more important than team performance or player quality right?

He's not the successor to Del Piero and that is most underwhelming.

We're already grooming the very versatile Pepe for that role.

then you do all it takes to attract good players a la citeh, like i said before juve cant act on the market like it used to because simply we have no leverage. For 70 mil we could have kept teh same midfield gotten licht, 1 solid signing(LW) and a star singing. we didnt need pirlo and could have stuck it out with de ceglie at least until winter
