Özil Made far more sense, from that point of view. There's about a million times less pressure on fanny-dancing fairies than there is on talisman goalscorers.
I think he ended up costing Napoli the same as we offered Liverpool for Suarez so money alone was not the issue. We felt wronged by RM putting up the price. Sometimes in (modern) football you just have to pay up.

I can’t even remember which one of our list of strikers we made do with at the time. Giroud?
