Won’t be far off nett

As I’ve said before it’s not just the money they spend it’s the money they write off that is scary

They have taken mega losses on every player they have signed

I don't think its that bad, Laporte is fairly priced all things considered (look at the going rate for incoming PL CB's this season), City are going to have to pay premium as everyone knows how rich they are, also, if they do get Mahrez, does it not kinda back up Pep's point that they are hamstrung by finances, he's not a superstar, if money was no object they'd go and get Neymar/Messi/Bale/Hazard, he's a budget option from their point of view.

Oh everyone has budget even Man United, Real Madrid and Emirates Marketing Project, but don't mention your budget restraints when you have spent close to a billion on players and wages and then lay out 100m on two players. Its an insult to people.

Pep and Mourinho should not be talking budgets unless its to justify why in Bourinhos case he has spent close to 100m on Lukaku and Pogba with others and come nowhere near winning the league.

It's the loan system that distorts things further. There is a limit to how many top players you can have in a squad as they all want to play. If loans were abolished (except for youth system products) a club couldn't buy excessively and speculatively as they would end up with contracted players they couldn't put in the 25-man squad. They could only buy players ready or almost ready to play. They couldn't hoover up prospects and loan them out, eventually making profits on even the failures. This would also mean the clubs that develop the players would get more of the money

Can’t disagree with that at all

It’s exactly one of the failings in ten current system and is being abused by clubs feeding their coffers with mismanaging their kids

City have around got around that by having multiple clubs, no need to loan just sell. They are also pushing buybacks into their deals when selling which also distorts the market.
 
What an inducement for any young player to join them, not. Poch has many times had a young player on the bench who has little chance of getting on but it's a great encouragement to them to be with the first team and increases their experience
 
When England won the Under whatever tournament I said teams like Emirates Marketing Project investing in their youth was a contradiction based on their first team policy and the big clubs would not see through or at least develop the the youth success to see that victory be worth anything.

Pep proved that yesterday by not making a statement and creating a moment for one of the youth. Gerrard said it right, he blocked what could have been a special special moment for a player.

No doubting that he is a good manager but I am not going to place him on this pedal stool of greatness that others do.
 
I believe most PL managers are only focused on the first team as they are in fear of losing their jobs for either not winning trophies or league position, they are not going to take a chance on their young players until they are forced to. The guys at the top teams just want the club to buy the finished article. Liverpool have 3 good attacking pospects in Solanke, Brewster and Woodburn, none of them will get enough game time to develop.

Yet it seems so easy to give a striker some game time... Pool are often 3-0 up after an hour, then rest the first choice and play some kids... really easy to do... 7 subs, plenty of room especially with Coutinho and Sturridge gone, Lallana injured...er Ings... er... OK they did have a lot of players I guess, but fewer now.
 
Yeh its clear that they don't care, Mourinho said he hasn't time to blood talent. That said if you have an enforced space on your bench it criminal not to give it up for a youngster.
