We've made a lot of money on outgoings the last few years, loads from the academy, about to get 60 mil for Savinho - is Anderson worth that money, probably not. Is he a very good player and what we need- definitely. Will it piss off the 115 merchants- undoubtedly. Let's get him.
It's not the money we spend it's the money that's spent by all top and middling clubs, players cost obscene ridiculous amounts and the more the money goes up the more distant the players seem to be away from the fans of the clubs they play for, what's really embarrassing is that you can get a player at a club earning say £250,000 a week and doing well but an agent or himself will want to move for even more money.
IMHO it's killing the soul of the game.
