Why the hell should we be bargain basement shopping in the first place? We're the 8th richest team in the world, for Christ's sake. Almost 50% richer than Dortmund. We can afford players he could only dream of there. If all we do is go out and buy more 'basement bargains' then it's just further evidence of FSG's lack of ambition.
Or it could be as the manager has said, he does not give a sh*te about "names" or "status" he cares about players with the right attitude willing to work theyre arse off. Quite a few big names that I am sure that not only have huge egos but grimace at the thought of doing 3 a-days starting at 7 am in Jürgen's routine.
If the gaffer is getting stonewalled by ownership on money then he will walk, until such a time assume he has a decent budget and will spend the money on what he wants not what you demand or expect.
Trust this manager when he says he has 1st, last, and every word in between when it comes to transfers.
