if Buendia was all that

then why did no other big clubs buy him before we did?
why wasn't he in the full Argentina squad before this summer?
why didn't he perform better in his PL season with us?

Like it or not, there is a hierarchy. Being at a big club infers quality, which is why Man C can generate tens of millions in sales from reserve / youth players.
