It is not always about signing star forwards and midfielders.
You don't sign a player for the sake of it.
It's not enough to just have talent at Atletico Madrid. At other clubs it is, but we can't sign superstars and have to look for players with a good work ethic.
The ugliest player I ever signed was Kenny Burns.
When young players become one of the best in the world, everyone wants to sign them.
It is always difficult to sign players even if you are a big club.
I always say that Madrid must have the best players, as this is the best club in the world. But it is not for me to say which players should be signed.
If you excel, there will always be teams interested in signing the biggest players.
My goal is to outwork everybody in recruiting, sign the best players in the state, and turn these guys into the best team we can.
When you sign players who are young and hungry, that's good for the side.
