Match Reaction vs Bayern Munich (home)

[Özim]

No but the point is you can agree or disagree with the current wage bill in connection to the quality of the squad, but currently it is already at the level almost of Man United and Man City.....if we kept Sanchez and Ozil with a 60/70 million signing we either have to downsize our squad in number or have a financially unsustainable wage bill.

Being financially unsustainable doesn't apply to Chelsea or Man City but it does to us, whether we like it or not.

Plus also i stated we have the money in reserve to maybe spend on an Aubemeyang or Griezmann as a one off, Chelsea, United and City can do it every season

I think our squad is overpaid for the quality, but that's because Wenger spends on the wrong players, our squad is inbalanced anyway, I'd much rather have a smaller squad with better players.

Not strictly true, we're owned by two billionairs, trouble is one of them at least is in it for the profit and nothing else, but we can afford to be like Chelsea and all the other clubs, Usmanov is actually richer than Abrahmovic but he can't get a look in.

Again though that's our choice, but Chelsea and co haven't been spending as much as before, the problem is not the money IMO, it's who we sign, every summer we tend to leave it late and end up with relative nobodies when better players were available at prices we can afford before that, that's our fault not the fact Chelsea and City can spend.

Ok let's try and make this simple can Chelsea, City and United spend on two or three players of 50-60 million value per season?

And can we?

Yes

Yes, but we choose not to.

If you asked me will we, then no.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Ok i just wanted that on record

But i don't want to be unfair so will give you another go

Are you able to expand upon "but we choose not to", are you referring to the self-sustaining model where the two billionaire share holders aren't putting the money in or are you talking about the money we have whilst being self-sustaining?

Yes sure, we choose not to because we have adopted a self sustaining model, whilst this is good I guess it also suits the agenda of the people in charge, however sometimes you have to speculate to accummulate and spend a bit more to make more, considering we have two billionaire owners, this would be a drop in the ocean for them that they could recoup later anyway.

We won't spend because Kroenke has no interest in football and only sees us as a business nothing more, we'd be far better served with someone in charge who enjoys football like Abrahmovic, because he wants to see his club succeed and understands what it takes, he also probably realises success on the pitch translates to success off it, as demonstrated by Manchester United.

Ok that's fine....but as long as you acknowledge that the self-sustaining model is not going to change, and Kroenke is going nowhere.....that Chelsea, City and United can spend on two-three 50-60 million value players a season and we cannot.

It may be unfair when we have two billionaire share holders, but it's also a fact.
