for the last f*cking time.
Even if we had offered what athletico wanted, man city would have offered more money to the point we would not be able to financially compete, how difficult is that to understand? its like me saying
i want these pair of shoes so badly, it costs £50, i only got £30, but someone with more money pays the full £50 and gets the shoes and i end up buying a pair at a more affordable price, despite how much i wanted the £50 pair of shoes.
i bet you really want a ferrari or a supercar yourself, but you don't have the money to afford one, but someone with money can, can you at least comprehend this?
