Jeez they will have a 54 man squad, with the players that he is being linked to. I really don't see many players of real quality going there, unless they can seal a champions league spot.

They would but the player has made a mistake going to Barca, he has made a fortune in terms of wages but his career has stalled, IF we are in for him, I would think he would welcome working with Pep.They will probably pay his inflated wages too, which is what I believe would be a sticking point for us.

When players careers are said to have stalled....it's because they weren't and are, nowhere near as good as people thought or think they are.....prime example.They would but the player has made a mistake going to Barca, he has made a fortune in terms of wages but his career has stalled, IF we are in for him, I would think he would welcome working with Pep.
If its true that FDJ is more of a Gundo/ Bernardo/ KDB type player then maybe it's there that we need to lose a player to make room. Gulp. Of the 3 KDB is the one we seem to cope best without. I hate suggesting this but ... no I'll say no more. Nothing to see here.
Look over there!!!

Barcelona ain’t selling there best player unless it’s 200m
well they cant buy without selling and they cant add to their wage bill without selling the high earners and bringing lower ones in?

FDJ is a class act, wrong move to the wrong club at the wrong time.When players careers are said to have stalled....it's because they weren't and are, nowhere near as good as people thought or think they are.....prime example.
Chelsea's model is working very well, and they have an impressive line up of purchases blending well with home-grown talent. But it is their manager that deserves the credit for their achievements and current position. Their previous (granted, less experienced) manager wasn't looking as though he could reach these levels.This argument looks pretty silly when we've produced 1 first team regular in 10 years and Chelsea are lining up with 6 at a time while playing at the same level.
One is clearly more right if it's working better.
City, Chelsea and Liverpool are operating at very similar, high standards. I think the manager who comes away with the best trophy count this season deserves immense credit for what they will achieve, given the competitiveness of the PL. We'll know in May whether or not Tuchel and Chelsea are able to keep up their current high standards.
One thing that grates on me though, is fans of other clubs complaining of the gulf in the standard between the top of the PL and the rest. We went through about a decade of the Champions League being dominated by the Spanish duo. The PL clubs benefit from the status of the PL, and this will increase if we are able to win more CLs. This success cascades down and brings income to all PL clubs through sponsorships and lucrative television deals.
Therefore it is natural for clubs like City to want to improve their squads until they reach the level that will bring success in the CL. I only wish fans of other clubs would understand that this is brought about by prudent management and not FFP dodging.
