I think City will spend what is deemed necessary. If we are not spending it is because we think our squad is good enough / will not improve with the possible new additions.

You can never stand still even if you win the league, poor recruitment the summer after we've won it 2012,2014 has cost us dearly. If Otamendi, Danilo, Delph, and possibly Sane leave adding Vinny to the list, two new additions possibly wouldn't be enough. We'll have to wait and see.

How so?

I am completely entitled to have a different opinion to you and to everybody else for that matter.

I’m not so sure about that, need a refresher on the COC

The market isn’t different, there has always been and will always be exceptions to the general spending pattern. Yes the average prices are increasing, no one is doubting that at all but it’s linear and just a continuation from the past 20/30 years. Yes you’ll still get the odd player going for double the market value (Neymar/Mbappe/Ronaldo) but they are the exceptions, not the rule.

I’d you think Ronaldo to Juve has worked out you’re a fool, you even mention Hazard in that list who hasn’t even kicked a ball in a Madrid shirt, so it’s hard to take you seriously.

Value for money is still out there, top class players are still out there and we will bring them in when everything aligns. There’s no mad rush because we don’t need to rush. We’ve just won a double followed by a treble, we have a young squad with a couple of older leaders who have their replacements already here in most cases and we’re building them up to take over their roles. That’s how sensible businesses work and operate, never mind just football.

Ronaldo has been very good for Juve and any team in the world would be a better team with him in it, that is just a fact. Hazard will be an absolute star at Madrid, i don't even need to wait to see how he gets on because i know already how that one will fare. Another player that would walk into any team in Europe and instantly improve it.

I agree, i do think we are the best run football club in the world. The wage structure is near perfect, the way we get players tied to long contracts early is impressive, but all i am saying is, we are now in a position to loosen the purse strings as and when we need to. The market is relentless now and as good as we are as a business, we have to adapt to these changes.

They have yes, but will Jesus be able to step up to the plate once Aguero leaves?

I have my doubts.

Facts says/shows when he has a run of games he can step up.

Right especially the outfits they wear . We should check their closets before we scout them .
