Contrary to what the new owners claimed, they didn't put up sufficient funds to buy those much needed players, plain and simple.
16 million for Adams, 30 million for Suarez, and now Villa have thrown a spanner in the works paying 24 million for Bent the worlds gone mad.
Our owners have every right to scoff at the asking prices.
Hope you're right about the owners' budget. Then I wonder why this Comolli is trying to bargain down the asking prices for Suarez and Adam.
I'm beginning not to trust Commoli, perhaps the owners have said to him if you can bargain down, you keep the change.
Suarez is worth his weight in gold because he can be a long term investment as well as being a formidable partner for Torres and takeover Torres role when he leaves in the summer because no CL foobtall next season or possibly Division 1 football (I hope not)
