I agree, but I'm not having it that you guys are the benchmark for transfer success. Your strategy is the same as always, bid more than everyone else. Although in many cases there wasn't anyone else. Look at Mangala 31m and Fernandinho 34m. There wasn't a queue of top clubs waiting to sign them.
If I wanted to buy your car(Let's pretend You're old enough to drive for the sake of this point)and I was the only one interested. Does that mean I can have it on the cheap?
