I think you're in the minority, at least in this forum, on that. I agree with you personally, but many don't.

Height is only one of many other factors for me.
Especially with the way we play.
Jo Inge and Okoli are tall but marginally not that much more effective in the air (if at all) and marginally much less effective in other regards.
Would we be unhappy if Atlanta offloaded Josef Martinez on us? Or if Aguero joined us in a couple of years?

I don't see where I once mentioned Italy or any specific country, but you wanna talk shit about me personally now? You can't handle a soccer debate without being a punk like that? That's not cool. You brought up retired players. Well most of the soccer world will say Paulo Maldini was the best defender ever. Cannavaro right behind him with Franz. So stop.
Dybala? I love him. Been watching him since he was on Palermo. I'd take Ronaldo and Mario over him as a Juventus fan. Not even the best player on the team.
Didn't I agree with you about South America producing the best forwards? So you rattle off some.
Ronaldo, Modric, De Bruyne, Hazard, Ramos, De Gea, Kroos, Courtois, Kante, Griezmann, Silva, Isco, Bale, Busquets, Pogba Mbappe, Pique, Rakitic, etc.
Goes both ways.
Oh lordy lord. I'd prefer Tottenham guy, if we're already getting so close in price.
Lol come on. There’s a massive difference between $6 million and $12 million. Outside of Villa, our entire roster last year made like $5 million.
Amortized over a 3-5 year contract? Remember this is a DP, it should be one of the few times CFG can use their FU$. What's $6mm more in transfer fees to the Sheikh for a player that's 10x better and more proven?
Dude we all are unhappy with the investment. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a difference between 6 and 12.
To us mortals, yes. But we were sold a bill of goods about CFG Funny Money, I'm not saying spend $80mm. But I feel like $6-$12 is not a crazy difference on what would be our best player, when they would shell out $100mm+ for big brother.
It reminds me of the old Churchill joke:
“Churchill: "Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?" Socialite: "My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course... "
Churchill: "Would you sleep with me for five pounds?"
Socialite: "Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!" Churchill: "Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price”

Eight million is the same number that Torino reportedly balked at for Mitriță. Does seem high. But the fact that we're circling the same guy as Josef Martínez's old club just goes to show that the "lesser league" snap judgments don't tell you much.
Again, we agree that it shouldn’t be a problem. Where we disagree is the reality of the situation.
I was mostly amused that Seikians sounds like a Star Trek alien species.
Of course it was. That's why it was funny. I said it was the "best part of the machine-translated article." That signals amusement, not substantive rigor.
This.
We never had an issue with our striker's height when his jersey said Villa. MC doesn't drive crosses in to a towering striker. Quick feet. Ball movement. Field vision. That's the goal. (At least offensively.) Height could even be argued as a minus if it slows the person down.
This is absolutely not true.
Fastest man is the world is a giant compared to others.
i get what you're saying, just that so many times whenever we were down or tied and went for it, cross were flying from everywhere to the middle only to be headed away from defenders. unless we completely change the strategy this year.
