Why do you pick Licht, Vidal and Vucinic, then? By your logic, I could use Motta, Pepe, Elia and Quaglia/Vuci as an example too.
Having Licht, Vidal, Quaglia/Vuci and Matri was not an obstacle to get a star. We did good deals, yes, but we also wasted much money on quantity. And I'm not even talking about Aguero, as there are more world class talent out there to pick. Some earning less than Amauri and still at their clubs after the summer mercato (no competition for us from the other giants).
