We can't compete with those clubs when it comes to the quantity of players and can't afford to stockpile players. I think Chelsea have learned from that episode and City may follow considering how things are going for them.

With the money we generate, we should be able to match them 11 v 11. That Chelsea team top of the table aren't that better than us man for man either and that was the consensus earlier in the season.
Sanchez and Ozil are in and around the same quality bracket as Hazard and Costa but other than that they are superior to us in every area of the pitch.

Now is that as much Wenger's fault as it is the spending differential?....Yeah of course.....but they've dropped 15 points this season.....i think even if a better manager was getting the best out of our current squad that would be very tough to match.
