@Juve Revolution: I don't like the idea of spending as much as Real though. That is just insane. We just need to sell our use our current crop and insert into negotiations.
i think he means at least have a bit more of a budget not insane like reals but.
Exactly.
We had a 35m dollar budget. We just used it on a player we needed. We still have some left over. 35m is more than most of the smaller teams in Serie A combined.
But that doesn't matter, I think our budget last year was around 50 M if I'm not mistaken. We have to pay big money, it's as simple as that. Our squad in terms of talent is nowhere near Europe's most elite teams like United, Chelsea, Real, Barca, Milan, Inter, Arsenal.
We're a second rate European team, we fall under the category of 'good' teams like Sevilla, Fiorentina, and Villareal. We have to take it a step further in the transfer market to be able to be under the category of 'great' teams.
Yes, we might have to take a gamble but if not now then when?
