Their transfers have been awful for the last five years, they can afford to spunk money up the wall though. Haaland, Alvarez and Dias are the only good players they've signed in the last 5 years. Look at the dross they've signed:
Kovacic - £25m (29 at the time)
Gvardiol - £78m (can't get a game at CB, can't defend)
Doku - £55m (flatters to deceive)
Nunes - £53m (what is he good at?)
Kalvin Phillips - £42m (currently warming Ipswich's bench)
Jack Grealish - £100m (0 goals, 0 assists in 2024)
Nathan Ake - £40m (s***e)
If we'd done even one of those transfers we'd still be paying the price for it now.
