Because unfortunately we just can't compete financially with City. Say pay him £175,000 and city would of just offered him £250,000 without blinking, could we?
At least we would have tried instead of accepting a lot of second rate players. Also maybe 175k wouldve been enough probably not having CL would be more of a deciding factor.
If we've achieved most of our summer targets than i think weve aimed too low yet have spent quite a lot.
Cant see a logical argument why we couldnt have went for him or someone of his calibre. I do understand a squad is needed not just a team of 11 but an average squad or an awesome starting 11??
Hell i dont even agree that the players we've bought can be sold on for more or even the same with the exception of suarez.. the only one we dont want to sell.
