First of all, Guardiola is winning the league playing attractive football for he is one of the greatest managers, if not the greatest one, in football history. Of course he had great players. We have great players too. What is your point?
Second, we spent a fortune on players and their respective salaries last summer, hence why we have an astronomically high wage bill. Yet we could not even compete in the Europa League.
Yet again, if a Porche is purchased for 100,000 and sold for 50,000 the following year, and a new one is repurchased thereafter, how much was spent over a two year period?
We lost a fortune by doing just that. Coutinho. Griezmann, Pjanic. Now, this was not Laportas fault, but the only reason why he used the net spend argument is because our club had a huge net loss, yet it was spending a huge amount on transfers.
I mean, if you are going to be a copy and paste monkey, do it from anyone other than a master politician who is just trying to justify huge spending during a year of net loss.
