Look at this comparison....
Carroll - Aguero = £35m
Henderson - Y.Toure - £22m
Downing - Silva/Mata - £20m
Not that it matters two fucks but we could look at the same City team and compare say...
Stefan Savic/Tal Ben-Haim - Sebastien Coates = £6m
Owen Hargreaves - Craig Bellamy = Free
Wayne Bridge £12m - Jose Enrique = £6m
Roque Santa Cruz - Luis Suarez = £22m
City have made more than their fair share of 'mistakes' in the transfer market kb; especially early on when the re-building started mate. Lots of transfers and four seasons later they seem to have got it right with Aguero and Silva. Maybe we'll do the same.
Now tell me that these are not expensive "british" mistakes
When set along side the players you quote of course they are... tho' I'll be honest and say I doubt if Hicks and Gillett would have coughed up the £49m it took to sign Yaya Toure and David Silva... or if we could have matched Aguero's wages.
better players are available....And Comolli's signings are certainly questionable!!
Maybe better players were but I can't say for sure and I'm not sold on the notion that Comolli's in charge of either cost or final say in transfers. Other than that I can understand your frustrations.
