    There’s usually only two teams competing for the title - despite Sky’s usual bluster about a 6 horse race. Until 15/16 the gap between 6 and the rest was only a few points, ever since then it’s grown. This year could be the biggest gap yet.
    I agree, but if you think about it, the only player they've signed completely out of our price range is VVD and I'd argue he was worth the money. Alisson too, but I don't actually think Leno is looking a million miles from him.

    I don't think we need to adopt their model as it were. As it is as simple as using the resources available to you to the best of your ability which is just plain common sense. They only made those big sales because it came looking for them not because they went looking for it..... and Coutinho was well over priced.

    When we spend in excess of 30 million we need to be sure. That means we can't have any more Mustafi's. That is simply too costly a mistake at this level and considering our circumstances.

    who ever made that decision should be personally liable and sued for trade description of purchasing a defender.
