There's an argument to say it's the selling clubs ruining football and inflating prices... They set the price, if city don't pay it and offer 50m for grealish and 80m for kane then guess what neither player joins city as the bids will be laughed at. This net spend thrown at City gets on my tits as well, we've kept hold of our best players recently, for upto 10yrs in some cases, and rewarded their loyalty with allowing them to move on for free when their contracts expired, what would our net spend be had we sold the likes of Silva, aguero, yaya, kompany, hart, zaba in their prime? Never gets mentioned that though.
