But they were mainly brought young with a view of growth in value
The problem they had was the fees they paid meant these players had to improve another 100% to gain any value
Look at Can for example. They paid about £6m for him and he is a good player, potentially a great player
Yes they have brought brick for big money but they have also brought decent players for less
I still think there philosophy is the same as ours but when they had money to burn they were poor at it.. Much like we were
...difference to us is ..they continue to spend big money and are still poor at it...
After the Bale money, we have veered in a more considered direction. Meanwhile, they have arguably done what we did with the Bale Money 3 times (2011 with Carrol etc, 2014 Lovren etc and again 2015 Benteke 35M, Firmino 29M etc)
