We also took risks on Kompany, Zabaleta and Robinho. Other 'risks' from other clubs in recent years have included the likes of Torres, vidic, evra, Alonso, Mascherano, Arteta, Arshavin etc. The point is that there aren't really any supposedly prem proven players available now that will considerably improve our squad. We've got huge funds and the sky is the limit except Hughes is so far refusing to take a chance and is only willing to work well within his comfort zone
