I think our lack of budget is more of an issue than how we use the funds we have tbh
We should've went after some different targets with intent but improving our starting XI is going to take a lot of luck if we can't compete with;
Barca or Madrd
Psg
Bayern
United, City, Pool, Chelsea, Arsenal.
And a couple other clubs depending on how badly they want the player
Basically we'll be extremely lucky to find a top player within our budget who somehow doesn't attract the attention of any of the clubs I mentioned.
