That's what billions will buy you, 7s, as long as the authorities let you, anyway.
I still think we win the league last year if Saliba stays fit, it would have been an incredible accomplishment. And I think we'll run them close this year, albeit to fall at the last hurdle.
Just nice to be in the race in Feb, the latter Wenger years appear to be behind us. Being out of the league in Dec was sh1t.
Also, United. They've spent a fortune. I think the biggest thing a football club has to get right these days is the relationship between coach and director of football/sporting operations/spending/whatever you call it.
In business terms I believe this would be described as synergy between strategy and operations. But I wouldn't know about such affairs.
Well, yeah. That and water polo :-\

Indeed. Paul Mariner (RIP) and Alan Smith too.
May have said this before but, sadly, strikers are a solution for which we have forgotten (or cleverly circumvented, depending on your view) the problem. Suffice to say the only way we throw a hundred million pounds at one now is if we don't win
anything this season. Or if we do.
Once upon a time, such individuals were an integral part of any squad-building project, like a competent goalkeeper and a fist-pumping captain. Nowadays, the less you need one (City, for instance), the more likely you are to get one. And vice versa (us) :-\
Oh, I think it is the last thing we need. Some clod-hopping ego maniac throwing his arms in the air and pointing every time he makes the wrong run or is standing offside.
We just need a bit more of everything else. And a midfield *******. Declan Rice is a nice guy, so we need (and can afford to have) a total arsehole alongside him.
