If you are happy that we have spent £33m during the same period that City spent £280m then I admire your positivity. Unfortunately though the reality is that we will get absolutely nowhere spending less than an eighth of what City have spent. And let's face it they had a far superior squad before they spent £280m. Have we really fallen that far behind. At this rate Yakka I'll be joining the whinge committee.
We haven't spent £33m though mate, that may be our net spend but in reality we have wasted an absolute fortune over the years on players that haven't been good enough.
We've probably spent over £100m on players that never really got anywhere the first team like Borini, Aspas, Assidi, Lambert, Balotelli etc etc
