well yes, you're right. But do you want to make a 'great business' or do you want to win trophies. you choose. If you want to make business, well you take your 20 mio, bring them to brazil and buy ~10 promising 17-yr old youngsters, put them in your primavera/loan them out, and then, in about 5 years, at least one of them has surely developed well enough to play in the first squad, or to be sold. But in the meantime, we played 5 seasons without a reinforcement.
You have to see that we are still on a 'squad bulding' process, and that we're not like inter or barca, who can splash their cash on people they will need in a few years only. why should we sign an aguero (or someone less known even) when we have a LB who can't even cross one (!) decent ball?!

yep, he plays on teh right wing "when needed" and he cannot dislodge lee carsley from CM, says it all really. he is a playmaker, was at PSG and was at Rangers, went to sociedad as a playmaker but could not hold down a starting slot.
just because he is foced to play out wide (mainly due to everton having limited options there, mainly it is arteta or neville) does not make him a winger by any stretch of the imagination

Well done sherlock....If you knew premiershit you would know that there hard working midfielders are in advantage over any type of player,and if you belive that Arteta is in same class as Lee then you're an idiot,nothing less and nothing more. Or you have never seen Arteta play....choose 
And the have Leon Osman there and Pienaar if needed.

oh i know teh premiership, i am subjected to the english media's mindless ramblings on a daily basis. i also have seen arteta progress through his career from when he arrived in scotland,went to spain and then ended up at everton and i reiterate to you that "he is not a winger" despite david moyes playing him there. and everton do have very little strength in depth as if you watched them this season arteta has been filling that side a lot, as has phil"cannot cross a ball" neville, so i ask you...have YOU been watching the same team play?
now, i have never had a problem with you before but if you call me an idiot again and try to degrade a conversation into name calling i promise you will come out second best

so when is Xabi's medical? Believe me, Xabi is wordclass. He is the better and younger version of C.Zanetti.
He has a WONDERFUL long pass. He's the passmaster.

Thats what we need. Sissoko destroyer, Xabi CM.

i wouldnt mind benzema but to be honest i prefer buffon
Del Piero Trez
Van der Vaar
Neddy Sissoko Camo
Grosso Chillini Zapata Zebina
and with players like amauri iq and gio on the bench
for amauri we will pay around 13 mil
we can get vdv for 20 mil (maybe a cash plus almiron/tiago or marchionni)
than get a decent lb like grosso (i would love to see vargas here but this seems to be impossible)
and buy a wc cb like zapata
that would be around 50mil € but we would have a very good team i think
For the guy who said Alonso's long passes don't create goals, here he starts the move with a lovely ball out to the left wing and he finishes himself in style:

If anyone here wasn't convinced of Alonso before, watch the pass master video Ledje posted a few posts up. Some midfielders don't make as many brilliant passes in a season as he did in that one game.
If you still doubt him after that, go to youtube and search for Xabi Alonso vs Real Madrid. Anyone who scores against those fuckers earns 10 bonus points.
