Playing without a midfield magnifies the problems at each end of the pitch. Even if (and that's a big if) we were to finish top 4 there is no way FSG would fork out the money for bellingham. Talk of such a transfer has always been fantasy to me and not rooted in reality. As you say that £120 million required to sign him would be much better spent on 3 x £40 million midfielders anyway.
Real Madrid and Barcelona don't have oil money but they do have the duopoly on the TV money which will always give them a huge leg up on the rest of the league
