We cant spend 30m+ on every single next big thing. **** we cant spend 30m on every signing. I'd be beyond staggered if we did, considering we want around 4-5 players, so 2-3 more to come.
By that logic we wait until they become a "big thing" and end up paying even more then wonder why we didn't get them in the first place.
Honestly though, when was the last time we done it? I know you could argue Shaw..... but before him I can't remember anyone where we've done that? All the way back to Rooney? That one turned out well didn't it?

Nope I didnt sat that at all did I? We have to pick and choose our targets. We dont have too many quality central players who can make an immediate impact, in fact we have just Herrera. In fact, one of our biggest problems whas that we had lots of players under 25 and over 28, and not too many in the middle, we needed to add to that.
£37m for a hot prospect, or £37m for the best midfielder in the world.
Why does Vidal keep coming into the Carvalho equation?
Because we can only buy either, not both, since we also have other priorities, and because both players cost a bomb.
Ones more classed as a box to box and one is a defensive midfielder which we don't have at all in the squad, I don't see any comparison here.
If you think we can't afford both then why is there talk of us getting Di Maria as well? He'll cost more than Carvalho at about £40m if Real get their way.
We have just signed Herrera we don't need to sign 2 more, a winger is needed more imo.Ones more classed as a box to box and one is a defensive midfielder which we don't have at all in the squad, I don't see any comparison here.

The closest alternatives to Vidal, are Strootman and Schwiensteiger
Because we also likely need a winger and a CB. They are not all going to be £30m, which is what I stated.
There is no player on the planet that can do what Vidal does. He can play anywhere in midfield.
You can use Blind instead of Carvalho
You can use Vermaelen instead of Hummels
Allows you to chase Sanchez, Di Maria, Cuadrado.
I wasn't happy at all when we did not even tried to get Vidal when he went to Juve and Strootman to Roma. I hope we will finally be able to get one of them this season. I would buy a King Arturo shirt immediately once we signed him!The closest alternatives to Vidal, are Strootman and Schwiensteiger
Was only a matter of time, should be good signing for them. That must be them done now transfer wise?City have agreed a £32m deal for Mangala
