Yeah look at Man City transfers. The root of the problem seems to be rosell
Man City sure did buy a lot of players, as always. But you might have noticed that they are not playing all that well this year? City never lets their players meld together as a result of years together with consistent coaching, they just try something new every season.
The purpose of the team is not to sell newspapers, not to set the market for high transfer prices, not to try to impress the sillier fans by buying new players all the time. RM got rid of a fine, loyal forward in Higuain, then bought a mega expensive player who plays the same position as CR7. They brought in a super young talent in Isco to run their team, then disposed of one of the world's best #10s in Ozil. These might be great moves, eventually, but I'm sure Barca is more confident now of winning La Liga this year than they were before RM tore up an excellent offense.
