The money argument doesn't wash anymore because we have the resources but have spent them on mediocre players.

This season we spent 70 mill on a defender and DCM and we are back to where we were last season (only worse). Our issues over the last couple of years have been on the pitch as much as off it.

If you look at some our recent expensive buys and compare them to those at Chelsea for example, you'll see that we have fucked up big time. Hazard was 32m, Ozil was 42, which one would you rather have? Kante was 35, Xhaka was 35, which one would you rather have? mustafi was 35, David Luiz was 32, which one has had a better season and is the better defender? The argument that we can't compete with those clubs is old and doesn't stand anymore. We fail these days for various reasons but not spending is not one of them.
