you think Aguero is realistic? He's worth 30m+. We couldn't afford to pay 2m more for Milito last year.
Is it a matter of not having the money, or being frugal to a fault?
There's obviously money if they were willing to buy Tiago and Almiron for a combined 22-23 (can't remember which) million euro, and buy Sissoko for 15m euro... more than twice what any sane team would pay for a player of that ilk.
Its almost like being penny wise and pound foolish. 37m euro for three players is fine, but for two or even one is excessive... even if those three players are marginal, and the one or two are world class.
