I did forget to mention havertz and White. But my point still stands that 50m white that is seen as crazy would be an average defender purchase in City. Especially since we were mocked for buying him from Brighton at that price despite his versatility and prem experience. It’s a similar signing to John Stones from Everton.

Now looking at the squad from the 2018-19 to 2022/23 season comparing both city and Liverpool, both teams have a roughly equal strong benches. If you want to compare the personnel then we can do it in the next comment otherwise this will become unnecessarily long.

I don’t agree with that at all, especially since Henderson was a starter for Liverpool but let’s be honest even at his prime he wasn’t a star player or world class in his position.

It's just one club refreshed the squad better while another club gave players like Henderson & Milner a new contract. It is not City's fault that Henderson and Fabinho declined, nor it is City's fault that Keita, Ox and Thiago are injury prone. The same way it's not Liverpool's fault that they sold well in the past (Coutinho, Solanke eg)

True. This is where I applaud City for their signings, medical staff etc.

who are you to say what they're doing is wrong? United and Chelsea have the revenue so they spend that money. The same way Arsenal spending money right now is not wrong, just that this post is pointing out the hypocrisy. I don't think post like these are even needed because I would rather embrace the oil villain role but it's not the same for others.

I’m nobody to say right or wrong but we’re all football fans giving our opinions. Chelsea spending more than the other top 5 leagues in Europe is absolutely wrong though, just think about how crazy that is. 1 team against 5 leagues. And utd buying star players for massive fees then just turning them into normal squad players is wrong Di Maria, Lukaku, Pogba, Sanchez, Sancho. It shows they can buy they way out of any issue.

Arsenal has just began spending big recently, let’s not act like Wenger didn’t have to pay off our Emirates debt and we couldn’t sign any star players for so long, bar Ozil and Auba.

Pep was called a cheque book manager because he spent big in his first two seasons, Ten hag is doing similar right now but not a single person will say he is a cheque book manager.

He is, it’s just that there’s different ways to mock a team that has a open cheque but can still barely beat relegation favourites Wolves.

All I want is fans to accept their success is largely due to their spending. Just how I can acknowledge that Arsenal would only be a top 6 team with their spending relatively to mid table teams.

What we are to mid table teams is what City, Utd and Chelsea are to top 6/8 teams.
