it didn't take a genius to realise that was never going to be the case, players like bastos and vargas were going to be the best sort of players we could realistically purchase

Marotta did a fine job tricking a lot of fans though, the media didn't help either. Being linked with Aguero & Dzeko just put a lot of people in a coma.
Thing is, he wasn't going to sign any big names, it was only to calm down the fans. It would be idiotic to make your desire for a certain player public all the time because it only gives the party more leverage to ask for a hefty asking fee.
