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.
