He greenlighted 57M for Neymar and was willing to greenlight funding for Thiago Silva. I don't see how you can call him cheap.
He wanted to buy Brazil stars!? You don't say!!
Him bidding for Thiago Silva was his usual 'saving my head' stint! It was obvious from the day 1 that there was never a chance for us to get him from the cash rich club!!
I agree the market has been ludicrous but it was never as bad as it seems to us now! I mean, had we done our ground work and started our moves earlier we definitely would have had chances to buy some good player. But no! The impotent idiot, that rosell is, had to first gain some goodwill from the fans by showing them stupid dreams that we were trying for the best defender in the world!!
Him allocating 57M for Neymar isn't really a risk in his opinion... And that is the reason he agreed to pay that high for Neymar! Neymar could well turn out to be a sporting flop for us but not really so financially!! Like the way Beckham turned out to be a huge success for Real
He could still try for good defenders, but only, we will have to splash out... But what is he planning to do now? He is looking at Mathieu for fcuk's sake! And Sakho? Are you fcuking kidding me!?
After all he did to try and win the election against Laporta was to exaggerate the transfer failures in his tenure, Rosell is currently in a position where he has to avoid them himself, at all cost! But he is missing one basic point i.e., 'Just because a player doesn't cost us high doesn't mean he won't be a flop!!'
So all he does is to look only towards cheap players! What an idiot!! In a nutshell, he is a 'cheap asshole'
