The caps was to show the frustration!!!
There was a reason we didn't meet the valuation. I obviously don't know the details but I'd surmise that its because we're fed up of being fucked over on cost of the players and the agents fees. We're not cash rich, we are not about to sell our best player for £100m plus to Madrid etc etc.
I'd suggest that too many people are getting excited about a player with no more than an average record, in an average league, because he's Brazilian and therefore considered exotic.
In our financial situation we cannot afford to chuck an extra £6m here and there on players because a) we don't have it and b) if we don't get into the European Cup we will not recoup that overspend.
People who constantly overspend on items or spend money they don't have end up going down the toilet.
Also, we have plenty of exciting attacking options, we don't need to spend £35m plus wages on another exciting attacking option, he's a luxury. What we do need to do is address the steel in our midfield. This funnily should cost far less than another exotic foreigner and would, albeit imho, be a better risk in actually getting us back in the top 4.
What pisses me off on here is that most, not all, have no real knowledge of these players that we're looking at and get excited by a) the price - he's expensive so he must be great! b) his nationality - he's Brazilian so he must be great or c) both of the previous - furious fapping at the prospect.
The method that some on here would use to scout and buy players would have us bankrupt within two years. Yes, I know a football forum is all about debate, but its fucking boring when the same people, keep banging on about the same types of player we should buy for an overpriced amount, and then moan when we don't. Its a boring comment, but buying players on FIFA or Champ man is nowhere near what it is in real life. You wouldn't think so if you were a regular visitor here.
We weren't competing against a massive European power. We were competing against a club that is far more cash rich, even without selling Bale, and has European football. If we want to get to where the club that beat us is, then throwing money we don't have, at overpriced exotic players who are a risk, is not the way.
