Exactly. We had an attack midfielder who played ~25 league matches for us last year and only scored 4 goals. What happens if something happens to schurrle or Fabregas and we are stuck relying on that production again? Di Maria is another creator we need. City have proven creators on the bench. We should be doing the same to match their squad.
And Torres could very well go to Roma and set Serie A on fire. That takes away nothing from the original statement you pretty much agreed with. We could turn a higher profit on Oscar based on his age and that could be enough to bring in one of the best in the world right now.
