We can beat around the bush and fuss all we want, but outside of Chiridiis or whatever the Backup Romanian CD's name is, every other player SPurs have bought have been salivated on over here. So it is a bit rich from some of our fans trying to downplay Spurs haul.
If City had purchased
Negredo:
Lamela:
Navas:
Paulihno
This would have been a better and more balanced haul. I love Jovetic and Dihno. And I think both are great. But I believe the above would have made us better overall.
1. We would have had 2 wingers (Sure Lamela likes playing on the right, but he could be just as deadly on the left)
2. I think Paulihno is a cheaper, younger and more rounded CM than Dihno. I think it was Fantasyireland who complained about why we were chasing a 30 milliom CM, when we could get a cheaper, younger CM from the same country who many (including the national team's coach) deemed better. Now this doesn't mean he is better, but at worst he is close enough for some to believe so. He is also younger and cheaper. Overall that makes him a better buy in my opinon. Paulihno is a more complete Sandro, while Dihno is a more complete Ramirez. I prefer Sandro to Ramirez.
3. Not buying 4 strikers meant we could actually play with just one. City should be a 1 striker team. We had Dzeko and Aguero which meant we only needed one more striker, but sadly we got 2. Which forces us to almost always start with 2. A weakness of CIty's.
I hope they all bomb in the Prem: But if every buy by every team hits their potential, then Spurs will get the most gain from their haul.
