I would love to see Aguero come but I dunno if he a) wants to come, b)Athletico want to sell, or c) we want to pay the buy out in his contract (think it was around 50million quid). For any team other than Real Madrid I think is too much for a player (not that we couldn't afford it, I just don't think SAF would pay that much for one player. Hence why I didn't see why Benzema would come for that much).
 
The options are certainly scarce if we are after some massive name, but I think we will go after a young guy who is a bit of an unknown but with massive potential (Douglas and Nilmar are two Brazilian names that are being thrown about and some guy playing for one of the half decent French sides... I'll see if I can find the name). The only problem then is we may have to be patient (think Ronaldo, Nani and Anderson) for them to develop as superstars. From that list of three Ronaldo made it, Anderson definitely will, and the jury is very out on Nani.
 
Huntelaar would be interesting though, possibly an exception? Certainly seems that he could score goals anywhere if he wanted.
 
I'm very happy that Valencia is there though it gives us great balance, and with the incredible youth talent we have at the club SAF will not have to do much to revolutionise the squad for the millionth time.
