Its really gives no credit whatsoever to FSG what united do with Falcao. Still, had a good laugh knowing the scum are paying 260k a week to an under 21 player.

Yeah giving FSG credit is weird. Regardless whether their signings are working out or not, they are signing world class talent while we are looking in the rubbish bins for freebies.

Aaaaah finally... I agree with this 100 percent. However, in the sme manner it is weird and completely wrong and inaccurate to give FSG credit for not signing Falcao, it is weird and inaccurate to pile the blame on them for Joe Allen, Borini, Aspas signigs etc. That is the point I am trying to get across.

I don't think anyone is blaming FSG for individual signings more setting the overall environment for the transfers which is universally recognised as a failure

It's not though...I mean, Diego Costa came out 2 weeks ago and said he almost signed for us, that the club activated his release clause, but he chose to stay because of the incredible campaign Athletico were having.

That means we went after a genuine top rated striker..

The same happened with Mkhytaryan who chose BvB over us, i guess due to CL footy.

But we went after these top targets, the money was there. It came from the players mouths, they said it, it's not me making stuff up.

I don't think we can blame FSG for that, I think we can blame 20 years of failures...

Also, we activated Costa's release clause whilst Suarez was still at the club, so it wasn't dependant on the sale of a big player to sign another big player.

Not quite, if we had of got Falcao on loan it would've shown some intent from the owners. I would've given them credit for that.

You get those players by offering extra in terms of wages. It's how City and Chelsea and Utd this year etc etc got their targets. So no. The money is not there. The fees for those players at the time weren't top player fees. Yet we weren't willing to pay top player wages.

I disagree. Costa has said himself, everything else was agreed, which means he agreed on the wages offered, and that he decided to stay purely because he wanted to finish what he had started with Athletico.
