no sir, you dont get it! if it is not city, it is madrid, if it is not madrid it is someone else. WE CANNOT FINANCIALLY COMPETE WITH THE LIKES OF CITY WHO WILL ALWAYS RAISE THE STAKES HIGHER THAN OUR OWN FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS!
now is that so hard to understand? i bolded it, put it in italics, and underlined it just incase!
in the past we spent a huge chunk of our budget on the likes of Diego and Melo, neglecting other positions, look how well that idea turned out!
let me rephrase that for the idiots, they might understand it like this
we offer 40 mil and 6 mil wages for aguero
city offers 45 mil(buyout reached) and 7 mil wages
we reach 45 mil buyout, sell amauri and offer 10.5 mil wages
city remains at 45mil and offers 20mil wages
we sell our entire team, offer 45 mil and 25 mil wages
city has a laugh, remains at 45 mil and offers 40 mil wages
the same situation for mata, hazard, aguero, and any other player wanted by a topclub funded by a sugar daddy like man city
when you know a club wants the same player, and has significant higher budget and prospects, its useless to enter a bidding war you are bound to lose
