it was a football decision ollie but it was another fuck up in a long list of fuck ups. you had a world class striker with a world class record who was willing to join us. so what his price went up to £30m after we agreed terms? if you want top players you need to pay top money. and id argue £30m for him isnt even extortionate, its market rate.
its not like we've splashed out over the past few years to be saying 'well higuain costs too much as we spent a lot last summer, so we cant afford him'. its been the complete opposite.
the footballing decisions at this club have been borderline mad. from tactics, to transfers, to wages. madness.
