I can remember us once signing a small Argentine second striker who people debated whether he would be effective or not.I can remember us once signing an small Argentine second striker who people debated whether he would be effective or not.
He's now won 4 league titles with us.
Not seen enough of Dybala to draw comparisons, if I'm honest, but just goes to show....

He didn't even make it onto the pitch for us.

Mathias Vuoso. Yes that's the point I was trying to make, aided by a bit too much sarcasm.Out of interest, who (my 45 year old brain is not functioning) or are you just making the - valid - point that nothing is guaranteed no matter what the signing ?

Ronaldo has really backfired on them. Imagine if we paid KDB more than Aguero, Sterling, Laporte & Silva combined? That's what they're doing.
And in return they do not get the old Ronaldo, 50 goals a season and pulling them through the CL.
They funny thing is that they thought he was the one who'd push them over the edge, but in the end they've screwed their own finances so much by signing him that they've weakened the team to the point where he can't do what they want.
It's been bad for everyone.

amazing considering he's only paid 31 euros a year, things must be really tight.
Not only that but its equal to £965,000
