But do we really want to tho? Good young player BUT his wages would be astronomical. Then other players would want the same wages. Could end up poisoning our squads harmony.
We have some good players, but the reason we have been doing well is our boss and that our squad play for each other. I just don't want to loose that.
If you don't want to play for Jürgen Klopp, then the problem is with you, rather than him.
Real are willing to pay the going rate for guaranteed quality. The club will recoup it almost immediately in shirt sales and sponsors. City have just paid 100m for an average second rate winger at a mid table club. Chelsea have just blown a similar amount on a manc reject. They won't be having it repaid in shirts and sponsors. Yeah Real can get him for free next year, but so could someone else. So if you can buy someone at a time when others can't, why would you not?
Of course our own billionaires were not prepared to compete with that level of outlay. All they see is the costs of paying up, not the benefits. So it's all scrimp and save, sign up a few new deals, make do with what we have, and hope Jürgen can cobble together another miracle or two.
