What guts me is the fact these big clubs can just spunk oil or hedge fund money. Man City did fine without Cucarella and know we want to keep him. It's like a billionaire paying for a night with your wife because he can.
And they face no restrictions such as FFP or having to pass an owners test in the first place. Yes it is galling. I mind less when losing players to a proper club who have earned their money with something other than environmental annihilation
