Bigger name doesn't mean better fit
Real go for big names all the time How's that worked out over the years?
This will sound bad, but:
1. we had Messi, a cheat-codes since 2006
2. we had insane luck with La Masia in the last 10-ish years
Mix those 2 and it is "easy" to create a good team that fits well together and add some expensive and some cheaper players.
I want to say, it isn't that simple and black and white as:
We are buying cheap but smart.
And Real spend more than us and yet we won way more La Ligas lately.
Again, we had Messi...
Imagine a world without Messi, who knows how a recent history would look like?
Maybe even a dummy like Perez would have end as the best president ever, who knows?
So, in the future, when Messi and La Masia talents will be gone, it doesn't mean that we need to buy superstars every summer.
But, it will be hard to fight with players like Denis, if your biggest (and filthy rich) opponent will buy Pogbas summer after summer.
Superstar every summer won't be an answer, but we will need to splash a lot in the future also...
