10 years of FIFHow tight exactly is our budget if we were willing to pay that 10 million on Genoa's Palacio? The whole point of having scouting is to get to players before the competition.. But all we seemed to do was add a target beacon to Vargas for all the actual big teams in Europe to aim for.. 2 million is not a lot of money... and if it actually is to us, then
We sold Eto'o, surely there had to be more than 8 million euros left from that deal.. and if not, where the hell did it go? I sort of understand where you're coming from on the budget thing though and the attempt to negotiate. BUT understand our frustrations, this is like the 23234312 time that this has happened in the last two years alone. We always seem to be the first one to show interest, we always seem to be "only a few minor details away from sealing the deal", then there always seems to be a "CLAMOROSO!!! <insert club name here> has join the chase", this is then followed by members here saying "It's probably goal.shit posting bullshit, we're definitely gonna sign him". The player then indeed signs for that club and we are left licking our sores whilst other make excuses and we then read that we were either a few million dollars away from signing the player/we decided that the player doesn't suit our team's plan,/our offer was laughable/we're saving our money for when Pep comes in the summer of 20andnever/we're preparing a 30 million euro bid for Lucas
okerface:.. We then go pursue crappy ass Genoa players who don't even start for them, and are suddenly willing to pay whatever price Genoa asks for them.. If it weren't for Zanetti we wouldn't even have signed Alvarez over Arsenal, and I'm pretty sure Arsenal are happy they didn't make that mistake, anyway. LIke could you imagine this guy in the EPL? He makes Cambiasso look like Usain Bolt FFS.. we need to add speed to our game, yet we sign someone who is slower than Rafa, probably.
It's not a matter of spending large amounts of money stupidly, that's the last thing we need, it's a matter of these continuous stupid and unnecessary purchases that we could have almost certainly have done without, whilst we become stingy bastards for the players who would actually add something and make a difference to this team.. I seriously have to wonder why the fuck Branca was actually vacationing during the height of summer anyways.. I know he's not a scout but seriously, how does this even get authorized?
