Aguero

[Chrono]

So basically if he has to guess on City he is also guessing on the rest. I could do that.

Nothing new in what he said or what we haven't already thought of.

[The_weatherman]

I think it fairly certain we are not in for him.

[Vermilion]

I'm afraid we are'nt considered to be a club that spends the sort of money that in these top greedy players minds almost guarantees titles/trophies during a players contract at said club.

We have to prove ourselves again. You only have to listen at the way some of these tarts describe Chelsea ffs, like they are in Madrids league of greatness or something!

Makes me sick.

Does'nt stop us being an attractive proposition for some top players though, but the Aguero's of the world imho, are at present out of reach.

You can tell who is and who is not from Liverpool and I say this without malice.

Everton are our fiercest rivals. Then Mancs. The rest dont matter.

I'm not from Liverpool and i've been saying that all along.

Myth....Busted!

[Craig_H]

What you on about? It's commonly known on here that i'm from south west London.

I don't think it's anywhere near that simple.

Of course there will be some who are only interested in the money and the more the better. But there are plenty for whom it's about glory/success, etc. They're all multimillionaires at that level - what makes one club better than another is the chance to win trophies etc.

Clubs like Man City and Chelsea and Real Madrid can all offer that PLUS massive wages. But look at who Man City managed to attract when they could only offer the latter? Jo, Santa Cruz, Milner, Adebayor...

EDIT: B*ll*cks. Only just noticed your final sentence.

This summers transfer window is the key to getting back to the top. Suarez and Carroll was a good start but FSG must continue to splash the cash and sign players even if they cost £40m and by that way show that they want to win almost whatever the cost. Winning is more important than money.

It is key that FSG show that we are prepared to pay £40m or maybe even more for a player. That they show that they want to be number one and won't be happy with a third or fourth place finish.

The only way they can show that is to splash the cash big time this summer. I think they are clever enough to know that.

If we can convince a player like Aguero to join us then other top class players will be more easily convinced to join us. Miss out on top class players because of money then we will never get back to the top.

Miss out on top class players because they turned us down is a different thing. Then we have at least showed that money won't be a problem and winning is more important than money.

[Alex]

Trouble is we cant spend £40m on a player and then a few others. FFP rules dictate that. Not many will be able too any more either.

I personally think you are being EXTREMELY unrealistic in your demands

FSG will play within the FFPR and rightly so

Plus in our case part of the problem is scale. If we just needed strength up front then £40 million on Aguero would be acceptable. If we just needed a winger then £40m on Sanchez would make sense. Read Contreau (sp) for Left back

When you need a left back, defensive midfielder, 2 wide players, a creative midfielder and a centreback (and possibly a 3rd choice striker) and you need them now then you're never really going to be in the race for a £40 million pound forward. To much needs done and even an £80million budget is cutting it fine

Problem is, i can see us playing by the new rules, but others not - and then being allowed to get away with it.
