It's more like City policy after they got Arab money. Just buy during one single transfer window everyone who is available no matter what position they play how much they cost or if they are at all needed. I hated this strategy but after a few years of constant spending and realising big-money flops City unfortunately tured out good.
We're fine now but I genuinely worry about the day when our older players are no longer cutting it, and we have to try and make World Class signings on a shoestring budget
