    Under-investment

    2019-20 only Minamino.
    2020-21 Jota, Thiago, the injured Greek, two cheap defenders.

    Over two seasons it's very modest.

    We got at least 40 million back in transfers.. Ie Lovren/Brewster and Hoever. The Thiago deal is over 4 years. we pay 5 million a year for him.

    Not since the days of Nottingham Forest has a team with such a low net spend (in relative terms) won the Champions League (European Cup)

    Yep and look how long they stayed at the top.

    A provincial club that rose to the top on the back of a once in a lifetime manager Clough.

    Theres a slight difference in stature of club though Steveo. I believe im right. we have only finished outside the top 6 once in the last 50+ years. We need to invest to compete for number 1.Not top 6,. we get that without usually trying.

    can not expect too much for American businessman, they invest the club for profit. Different situation completely with Man City and Chelsea owners.

    I'd be amazed if they didn't put their hands in their pockets this summer, the natives are getting restless and Jurgen needs to be kept happy. There's only so many times you can pull the rabbit out off the hat before There's nothing there.
