I'd be curious to know. Would you rather have one Bellingham for 100m, or two 50m players (plenty of options there)?
All depends on the player. No guarantee any transfer will be a success. But for example, Benjamin Mendy cost City 50mill, we got Robbo for 7mill and Mendy has been nowhere near the level of Robbo.
But then can spend big on a player like Alisson or Virgil and it can completely transform a team.
Think it just depends on the players available at the time and what the team needs. Given our midfield is in a state similar to that of our defence before we signed Virgil, a big money signing could transform it and have the same impact, along with some cheaper signings.
We’ve had Trent come through the ranks, Matip was free, Konate was about 30mill and Robbo cost 7. The midfield could go a similar way with a big money signing and then Elliott on a free (pretty much), Fab was about 35/40mill and then get in a few cheaper players that would suit.
Just depends what’s out there really.
