We are not in a position financially to sign squad players for over £60 million on over £100k a week salaries to warm the bench.
That’s the difference between us and City. With them it’s all about money, I don’t think they even consider a player that’s under £40mill, it’s like they need to spend big to show they are relevant and to almost cast this big tough guy appearance. We however will spend what is necessary to fit the right player into the team, the fact Cancello, Walker, Mendy, Otamendi, Stones, Laporte cost probably near on 300mill alone, plus their mega wages on top, compared to our defence which is stronger and more adaptable than theirs; Trent, Virgil, Gomez, Matip and Robbo cost about 85mill with half the wages, is a testament that for us it’s quality over quantity of money spent.
They need to sign players for big money because it’s probably in the hope of boosting their profile more because regardless that they’ve become successful in recent years, they are still a small time club and just a toy to play with for some Sheikh, to probably help launder some dirty money and line their own pockets in one way or another. Their owners ever get bored and want out then they are fu**ed, there will be no way back for them, they wouldn’t recover because financially and the way they’ve built themselves, the only way is down hill.
Let them spend 60mill for a bench player, means nothing when it comes to facing us because we will still be the favourites going into that game because of how we’ve easily managed to rattle and beat them.
