And now naturally we're at the point where it needed reinventing again.
And actually that process started, didn't it?
Actually, not last season, the season before, when they went again, they went and spent in January the likes of Omar Marmoush, who, yeah, has been a bit of a miss probably, but they spent money that season because they they needed a player in a season they were struggling.
Uh
Though came in, for example, and he looks like he could be the central defender that carries City through the next five years.
So they have been looking to obviously get the the age of the squad down.
Um look, and also I I think I have to say City will always point to net spend too, because as much as and Pep used to get annoyed with me whenever I asked a question about transfers, and I I'd quite often mention the fees because they are big fees, but
Two things on that.
The top club always spends big money.
It's because they need players who are at elite levels.
They need players who can win league titles.
I mean, I'm old enough to have watched the Fergie Manchester United years.
Every summer United pretty much just went out and bought the best player in the Premier League for I mean at the time it was like twenty, thirty, forty, fifty million, wasn't it?
I mean now we're into the hundreds, right?
But that's always happened.
The most successful teams do it.
Man City backing up with trophies, by the way.
Chelsea haven't really done that, you know.
Um and in terms of their net spend, like they're below the likes of Chelsea and Arlstor and Man United, and these are all player uh teams and clubs that have had a lot less success.
And City's Academy is a huge part of that.
