Plus Christian could really use some competition.
you are worried about not spending enough - so that is worrying about business sid e - why do you want us to go bankrupt (easy this isn't it).
I will make this easy for you - No one cares how much we spend as long as the club can afford it, that may be 50M or 200M no one care how much just that it wont make us bankrupt or have negative consequences in the future.
Its the same tune you are either incapable or unwilling to understand.
ochfacepalm:
Should we be equally concerned about the poor billionaires or the middle-class billionaires?
Just having a laugh
He is a good loyal supporter but he is happy if we spend nothing, lots or somewhere in the middle. No real opinion of his own. Basically the club knows best. If it doesn't work out then he will admit the club didn't know best after all but obviously it's too late then.
How many of those signings were worth the money??
Let's assume we stay with the recent financial model... What next for you?
Protests?
Matchday boycotts?
[insert other}?
A better version....? wash your mouth out son. If Ndombele turns out even half the player moussa was he will be doing well
Then they do care as some feel we can't afford 200m. Talks of 70m being very risk!!! but you think they would be ok with 200m. Anyway let's leave it there. Agree to disagree!
There is not always someone to blame - when two good competitors face up one will win one will lose - there doenst have to be blame. I am as pissed off more than most when we lose (happy with the club doenst equal happy with the result), I am known for it, but its bollox to say its always someones fault, if you live your life that way I feel sorry for you.
We are achieving (yes achieving) all these things at a major disadvantage, that's no ones fault either, compared to the temas we are playing against. Do you think Burnley are pissed off they are not spending the same as City? if you can understand they have a budget why shouldn't we?
Last year it came out (not 100% but seems very likely) rather than spending £40m on Grealish we added money and bid for De Jong. That's showing ambition rather than going for the easy option and getting Grealish in, it didn't pay off but I am happy with that approach.
Why do you want us to spend 500M every transfer window and bankrupt us, that's a terrible view.
Disagree with you

.Yes we have to furnish the loan but we are in a very different place even after only 5 home games, coupled with extra CL money.
We are a very well run club so the loans will be taken care of but now we are actually in the stadium not still looking forward to it, I am confident there is money to spend.
Might not be £80 million but if Poch thinks a player is worth it then we will spend.

No transfers have happened, this is a transfer thread of course they are going to talk about cost.
Once we sign a player there is more information available (club think we can afford it) and the conversation will move on.
Neymar SET the market with his move to PSG.
The percentage of club revenues going to player transfers is the same as it ever was, those revenues have just gone through the roof.
The fans paying the highest ticket prices in the world.
Talk of both Rodri to Man City (looks confirmed) and Rabiot to Juve being done today. Those would both help us a lot
Stop being a bitch... Name and shame.
Some of those numbers look wrong.
Anyway, of the top 8, only Soldado was really a disaster, with Aurier still to be determined.
That's just silly then!
They evidently would be worried as they think 70m is a risk. But suddenly if we spent that they aren't worried because we must have been able to afford it.
If the club spend 200m it must mean we can afford it by that logic. Especially with levy in charge.
So if the club can afford it but choose to not spend it, some would wrongly think we can't afford it because the club hasn't spent it. So if we can afford 200m but spend 50m, some will say we weren't able to afford 200m. Which would be false.
Anyway,I think your logic is very flawed & misses the point.
I want to start by saying I think we do need to sign new players this summer but have been quite happy last summer and January when we didn't buy anyone. Last summer the biggest and best business was still signing Poch, Kane and the others onto new contracts.
I don't get the hype over not signing anyone for 18 months if the right players aren't there to sign (and I'm just going on the numerous reports that Poch had money and chose not to spend or couldn't get the right player for the right price.
I also believe when he says things have to change he means that the current model has worked for us so far (whilst we were building and trying to establish ourselves as a regular CL club). We are home now and I think established and recognised as a regular CL club and therefore it is time our plan changed. He's not saying it was the wrong plan all along just that now is the right time to change it.
We will have more money to spend than before (of that I am confident), on transfers and new wages for existing players but the reality is we have to balance the books also to pay for the investment. Levy is prudent but he is not stupid and he will know that we cannot maintain our current position without investment.
