Because we should

the all powerful Chelski who have overpaid on wholly average players for years now. It just wholly depends on who if you believe the papers for your transfer gossip when all they do is throw shit at the wall to see what sticks.
I'm guessing you wouldn't accept that we had Mata ready and waiting to join us but Dalglish went for Downing instead because he had (by his lowly standards) a pretty amazing season for Villa. (aka the aforementioned hard-on for Brits.)
The funny thing is we had Ronaldo ready to join before he went to United and Silva was scouted long before he had heard of Man City but between the old owners and the likes of Rick Parry, we couldn't act quickly enough or didnt stump up the cash quickly enough, so we ended up with the likes of Riera and Babel.
I thought Damien Commolli was supposed to have a clue when he got the job. I was pretty impressed by his appointment but I'm pretty sure I could do a better job of negotiating using the newest version of Football Manager.
I still think we have some fantastic players coming through our Academy. Sterling and Suso are going to be the first of many.
