I like Rossi but I'm with agr. Just think it's such a vast sum of money to spend. If we are scouring Europe there must be better value for money out there that represent less risk.
Mr Levy runs us like a business and rightly so. You can't just warrant spending that sort of money without the player being proven in league. Barca or any Spanish team could justify the fee as they are going to get almost guaranteed success due to Rossis performances over the past few seasons.
Same logic applies to Falcao.
Let clubs like city and Chelsea take these risks as they have so much money yet can affor the mistake. They will have more failures than successes with such signings. For us, 30million could be a huge lump of our budget for not just this season but those to come.
Let's be realistic guys, we are in no position financially to be taking such a chance when we have a new stadium being lined. Levy just won't do it. I'm sure we will be looking abroad but I doubt we will be paying more than 20million per striker.
