How's it horribly broken? You still have a wage structure in place, you can't adjust both your wage structure AND buy big, because you've sold a player for £60m, it might give you more flexibility than usual, but by and large you have a setup and caps in place for how much you're able to sustain as a club. You sound like you're talking from a Football Manager manual.


You sound like you're talking from a Football Manager manual for a League 2 team from Kazakhstan.

We aren't ridiculously poor in terms of spending power compared with other teams, we just choose to approach it in different ways. We're trying to be clever about it, but I think we're trying to be too clever for our own good.

In the next several years the wage structure and transfer fees will inevitably continue to inflate drastically, that is unavoidable. And when you spend big on a player, you lock them in for several years, even if you do need to inflate your wage numbers if he performs.

I see where you're coming from, but I simply don't see how there's any valid argument that we couldn't have dropped 45M on Sanchez instead of the 35M Arsenal spent. Because if we offer 45M, are Barca going to go to the player, and ask for his opinion on which offer to accept? And we both know we had the funds available to make such an offer.
 
Because, quite frankly, we had as much money to spend as anybody this window, and the first team opportunities to go with it.

Ahhhh, I get ya. Lets hope west brom dont take out a loan for a hundred million then else they'll sign ronaldo.
Seeing as its all about the transfer fee and a starting spot.
