I believe they're talking about reputation.

Depends.
Then the diffrence depends on the source, like plenty of times.
casillias, wins a shitload of "keeper of the year" awards, hence more then buffon.
Yet statistical analysts, and true unbiassed analysts that know gigi, rated him as the best ever goalkeeper.
Platini, wel he played in the feared serie a, but there has been a thing against serie a ever since the 60ties and catanaccio.
The good analysts, praised how insanely impactfull he was between '82-85. No player ever made such amazing impact.
Its what wins a man 3 ballon d'ors in a row, when it was still an actual price, handed out by experts.
What did the general italy hating public think ? not sure
Why did nedved won a ballon d'or in 2003, but not world player of the year ? simular

I agree with what you say, as a matter of fact. Mata for sale? Hello Madrid! I get you. Bayern are in a better position that we are, it's a fact. However when the management comes out and undersell themselves, it's like WTF! We don't need to hear from Marotta, Conte or Agnelli that such and such are better than us, we know it. So they should keep quiet and do what needs to be done to improve.
From a financial perspective we've done well, but that doesn't mean we should be pleased with it. The very least they could do is assert their superiority on the rest of Calcio the same damn way Bayern does it to the rest of the Bundesliga.
Well, i like this approach over the "we sign a star" one.
Cause it wont make teams increase their fee demands when we come around.
I was kinda irritating us beeing linked with stars, management telling we were interested, then outbid by everyone. at least we now know where we stand
