Oh come on. We did not "miss out" on him. We had a price agreed, then they upped it by almost 10m at the last second after everything else was in place. We walked away out of principle as that is not how business should be done and there is no reason we should just bend over to Madrid's whims.
We also then felt there was better value for money available, i.e. Suarez.
