He's from France, what do you expect. Just don't be surprised when He starts claiming the Bandicoot Cup is like a trophy.

Yes, that is the salient point, I think. The question isn't whether someone else could do better with our level of spending, it's whether someone else could do better full stop, even if it involved spending more.
And then we get back to the whole why did we build the stadium etc etc
BTW I saw a surprising stat the other day. Chelsea have actually generated a profit in player sales/acquisitions over the past 4 or 5 years or something like that. Partly because of the Chinese, I think, but it surprised me nonetheless.
So you can add Chelsea to the list of teams doing better than us with similar spending patterns. Plus Liverpool as well possibly.
