Having repeatedly stated the club have only £40m to splash in total over the summer, they roll out three £50m targets who we’ve now missed out on signing because of our CL failure.
I mean, which is it then ? . :rolleyes:

£40m if in the EL, £80-90m if in CLQuote:

If we don’t use two or three of the lads from the youth team now, then what’s the point in having an academy? We’re looking at a 3-4 year rebuild. Take the hit now and offload Ozil and co. Otherwise it’s another wasted year next season. Get the wage bill back into some sort of order. What’s the point in paying Ozil, Mikki and even Auba CL level wages, if those players can’t even get us into the CL? Promote a few of the young wingers like Nelson, Willock and maybe even Sako. Spend the money we do have in CD and CM.Quote:
