"I can return your question.
Could we have won the game with the players that were on the pitch today? That's for me the real question. And
I say yes. After that, if we do not spend the money, it's because we do not find the players. I'm not the only one to work on that. We are a team who work on that.
We are ready to buy the players if we find that the players are good enough for us. That's all we can tell you."
Ok except, 1) We didn't win the game with the players we had on the pitch today, so either they aren't good enough, or you as a manager and coach aren't good enough. And 2) Find players that are good enough... like Higuain? Or Cesar? Or Fellaini? Or Gustavo?
"People always say 'buy players, buy players, buy players'. When you tell them 'tell me who?' it becomes much more problematic."
I find it insane how then no one pulls him up on a list of players that we've been linked with, world-class players at that, especially with the shambles of a transfer that was Higuain.
