We buy players on the verge of becoming Worldies. Not players who have already.When was the last time we bought what people would class as a "worldie" - serious question btw??
Robihno? Toure? - no neither
Aguero would probably be the one - even then I don't think at the time he was a "worldie"
I'm trying to understand if your point is "We don't splash the cash", or "we don't have a World class squad". Either way 3 recent titled suggests we're doing something right.
City bought Sterling, KDB, Sane, Jesus and Bernardo Silva for slightly more than what psg paid for Neymar alone or Mbappe alone.When was the last time we bought what people would class as a "worldie" - serious question btw??

Hazzard, Bale, Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar are already World Class. Debryune, Silva, Aguero and Kompany weren't when they arrived.
Aguero was arguably WC but the others weren't yet.
WC often means top 5 at a position. But for me it's means being 2 standard deviations away from an average replacement player. There are more Worldies at Winger, Striker, GK and AM than there are at the other positions.Kyle Walker. Not even joking either, lol. His passing and final ball is shit but if we’re going on top 5 for each position then he’s one.
Funnily enough @Andrew___K makes valid points but I still think he’s top 3-4 based on how valuable his pace and physicality is.
Danilo replacement
Good RB, but we already have Walker & Danilo.
