Problem here is that while they have money, they are also well run. Personally, I think with transfers you need to look at wages and fees. So, people tying themselves in knots over Häland should just agree he is like £200m-£300m for his contract. That is where there financial power comes in.
On the other hand, they do shift players for good money and it appears that the players they're selling aren't on much less (possibly more) than the ones they're buying.
As a result, I am a bit on the fence, yes, they have financial power, but they are also incredibly run. Utd tbh, don't have a real reason not to be in a similar position with their revenues. The only reason is the Glazers wanting to take their coin (which prevents a Häland deal; however let's be real, other clubs would've taken him on those terms; Real, Chelsea (if they didn't buy Lukaku), PSG etc.) So, it isn't only them and they are actually winning stuff and play good football, so it isn't that outrageous they got him.
However, people also need to understand how powerful being well run is and City are that (I do fecking hate saying this btw.) Additionally
