    “I don’t care if we can’t sign certain players who are so expensive. They play football all over the world but only here is money so important. Always it’s ‘money, money, money’ – but you don’t have to spend all the money.”
    Jurgen Klopp

    There is a big difference between "all the money" and 'amounts of money which reflect the size and status of the club'. Also what a manager says, and what they really mean/want are very often two entirely different things e.g. if Klopp was that adverse to spending lots of money, we would never have signed VVD and Alisson.

    If you want to consistently challenge for the big prizes, you need to spend more than the fourteenth highest amount in the PL alone (never mind the whole of Europe) over a five year period.

    Apparently Man City's team for tonight's game cost £420m+, whilst those sitting on their bench cost £350m.

    Yep that Guardiola sure is a genius.

    To be fair what he's meant to do if given the money, you're going to spend it haha.

    Bit crazy though sterling and the likes of laporte on the bench, surely at one point some plaeyrs may want to leave city to play week in week out?

    Suppose they get paid enough, & enough games.

    New top class commanding CB, Fabian Ruiz and Neto, keep Phillips as a 5th CB for cups games and emergencies or the end of games teams are constantly looking to box it

    We need a CF first. Another clean sheet tonight, this time v Real Madrid but the forwards couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo.

    I didn't know he'd picked up an injury, that's a bugger, he'd have suite our set up and other player perfectly, maybe save that money for January and see then and get the commanding CB and Ruiz in

    I don't see us going for a No9 unless there's one knocking about who is a lot more mobile and quicker than Bobby or Jota who can link play brilliantly and can get in the box a lot quicker and who knows when to arrive in the box

    Jota is a conundrum because apart from scoring goals the rest of his game is pants.

    not top draw by the looks of it either.

    looked a killa in the league but got overawed by real madrid.

    we have another forward who suffers from the same stage fright so doesn’t look good.

    just do a swap with mbappe and be done with it.
