The facts are we are struggling signing players. Forget the crap about CL football, city signed players at the start of their project without it. Same applies to the London rubbish. Tell a footballer your paying 10k more a week and see if he still wants to live in London? I'm sure some of those city signings would have been wanted by the other big teams too....it simple comes down to paying the money. The best teams are prepared to pay it. Pay 50m+ for Vidal, he'd be here. The best player are at the best clubs.
Many might argue but I'm convinced we have hit the transfer budget ceiling. We've spent 100m this year and Woodward can't make the numbers work. Glazers I believe won't allow him to spend a penny more without getting some in. I believe we were committed to buy Herrera and Shaw before LVG arrived. That's a dent of -70m and the idea that the Glazers were going to get the cheque book out and spend another 100m+ was absolutely laughable irrespective of how much money is coming in or the rhetoric that Woodward keeps spouting.
