we can't afford splashing the little money and a real pensioner. we didn't keep ADP and his salary was somewhere around 1m euro as i recall. (i mean he was bringing more money through shirts and marketing than he cost us)

for free and 3m salaty..ok...i'll take him back.

we should go for Jovetic-Muriel-Destro like players...or Higuain-Sanchez-Ayew

Getting rid of ADP was not a financial decision. Also, recalling youth is all well and dandy on a football manager game but let's be realistic bro. Recalling any of our youth players probably wouldn't even upgrade our current Bench, nevermind take us to the level that an Ibra-esque player is at.

We're not going to bridge the gap in quality by being cheap, we've done so well to build a back line and midfield for a more than fair price but the top attackers are going to cost us real money. And we need to pay it, just on the attacking department.

Recalling a youth player that scores 10-15 goals a season in serie B is not going to help us in the CL is it? We've established dominance in serie A so we need to be looking to improve our starting XI. I'd rather our youth developed in a club where they get regular game time.

As for Muriel and Destro, again, we're throwing more money at players that 'MIGHT' be a top talent in 5 years time. We've got plenty of options for the future, we need to concentrate on the present and improve our squad. Or we're going to be stagnant and waiting until we develop a young player into a WC talent. Which is far too uncommon to build your hopes on.

And yes, I am indeed a big Ibra fan. But why wouldn't people get excited about a top striker arriving after years of mediocrity watching teams 6 places below us have more prolific strikers. Whether it be Ibra or another big name.

Like I have said plenty of times, we required mid-table serie A depth players to get back to the top. Now we don't need more average depth so spare money should not be thrown at an Atalanta scrub but thrown towards a player that would improve our starting XI.

And yes we do realistically have the funds for a BIG move every season or two but so far we've used that money on getting rotation players to help us win the league which is fine. But now we need Quality not quantity.

Let's say our budget is 40Million Euros. Not that much for a massive club, most of that has been made up from the CL alone. We could definitely get 20M worth by selling the likes of Quags or Matri, Giovinco, PDC etc.

Then we have 60M to play with. I would set aside 40 of that 60M and test the market. Here's some players who we could get or at least come close to getting for within 40M (Note I don't mean they all cost 40M, just between £0 and 40M)


Benzema, Higuain, Ibrahimovic, suarez, Jovetic, Aguero, Tevez, sanchez, Falcao (Unlikely but not impossible)

I reckon a few people here could chip in with a few big names for within 40M

Any of those strikers would help us compete at the highest level and even make the goal burden in serie A lighter. Then we have 20M left as a minimum.

We take 10 of that 20M and we try and sign a very good left-back. Perhaps Criscito. That gives us 10M to find a back-up / replacement for Pirlo. This player would ideally be young.

I'm assuming we have money put aside to buy Asamoah outright. As forIsla, I am not bothered either way.
