It's possible to build a wc team over time, if you manage it well. Sanchez was either a failure by Marotta or Barca was unwilling to sell before WC. Iturbe is unproven and splashing 30m, even on a hot prospect, is a risk than most cannot take. With Allegri the hunt was dropped as he would not suit Allegri's management.
We haven't exactly been spending large sums in the recent years compared to others, and are still in a developing phase. It's the same for many other teams like Atletico, Dortmund, Benfica, Arsenal, Schalke, and so on.
I'm not saying we shouldn't spend, but we need to do it sensibly. There's no point to try and spend the large fees because the EPL teams, Barca, Real, BM, will always be able to bid more than us. I don't like Marotta, I believe he's great for mid-teams because he is too sensible and instead wastes the money on quantity. But, I appreciate the underlying idea of spending more wisely.
