Re - read your original post, without changing it to see what you have changed in the post above .
Nobody but the cheating few clubs like Mancity, and I'd include the broken Barcelona, can follow your wonderful strategy of money growing on trees.
Literally just posted this in the Son thread, but:
We need to fix our wing and attacking MF play regardless of who's at CF.
Go and quote what you think was the original post in this debate. You’ve not once demonstrated that you read it
Does our model work ?
Should we maybe look at being more ambitious this summer and try to compete for the same level of player as the teams we claim we want to compete with.

I can't waste more time on following your gymnastics to get yourself out of a hole of your own making
I totally agree. It all needs fixed. Eze looks the part the more I watch him. Silky footballer. Watching him he could be a Maddison type and play as the wide forward. Just a really good footballer.
I’m in no hole and you have no legs to stand on with anything you are claiming.
Even shadyfixx and the crew at least disputed the point I made. You just missed the whole thing completely
What do you think of Brian Mbuemo for right wing? Only 24,always a threat,can go in behind and come short and link the play.
If we have Maddison and Eze in a team, we can put one on the LW and they can be interchangeable during the game. Gives us the technical ability to keep possession against teams like Newcastle yesterday.
Which takes us back to where we started....... Upgrade everywhere in the next window isn't really feasible.
Let's say you had 200m and could buy 3 players from the top shelf; would one of them be a CF?
Some here would rather (eg) 2 x wingers + 1 x AM
Some here would rather (eg) 1 x winger, 1 x DM, 1 x AM
etc.
.....And I can totally see that logic because with everything else ticking Son & Rich CAN score goals.
He always looks bright (is he back now?), but I dunno how he'd translate to a different system.
He's shown that with regular game time, he can get us 15-20 goals a season. That's a good investment to me.
I don't see the point in getting rid and spending more money on another striker when it isn't a guarantee that the output will increase and also when there are other priorities.
I'd rather get another player who can make up for his weak points. Get a left winger who can retain the ball in the final third instead.
All those players basically forced their way out of the club...
Son > Martinelli & Trossard, at both LW and CF.
Wouldn’t you?
Looking at what those players achieved at their new clubs one certainly can't blame them - not just winning trophies but also doubling/tripling+ their salaries.
But you can't blame Spurs for letting those player go as they had little choice.
When Man Utd, under Fergie, Man City under Pep and Real M. comes for a player they almost always get what they want
If I’m being as balanced as possible we can understand the club selling those players en route to building the stadium but the summer just passed was not our first season in the new stadium and the policy was very clearly still alive.
The stadium is here now and we seem determined to stick to an underdog transfer policy whilst also charging big club money for tickets and merch.
Somethings got to give because we are in no man’s land
Definitely a creative type like Eze,Toney and a wide player who has the ability to run in behind teams but can take it to feet and link the play. I think if we improve those areas we don’t continually lose the ball and get done on the counter. I’m being greedy so I want another DM
He can score goals but having him as number one striker is standing still. He’s not good enough for us in my eyes. That’s my opinion but some think he’s verty good. I’ve yet to see that.
