My point is PSG has made it clear they want the best french players playing for them, unlike us who has said nationality doesnt matter, They will do everything to keep the ebst player coming through their ranks for years
They are one of the richest clubs in the world, the only club in paris, the biggest club in france with possibly monaco as an exception.
When money is no object and there arent any competitors, its pretty clear to follow any transfer strategy you please.
True, but once again. Im saying what they have said themselves. That they want to be the face of french football and have all the best french players play for them. I read an interview with their chairman and he said they will do their best to get the best french players. Its not about money, its about identity.
You need money to gain the homegrown identity though. Id shudder to think how much the top tier international squad would cost for a ln english club.
All that transfer money for England lol
Theres very little if anything that doesnt factor money in, in football. Creating a managers ideal team takes millions.
Look at what pellegrini and mourinho have spent. Chelsea arent even half way done imo.
Theyll probably go big for 2 strikers
1 big name 50m upwards
1 lower tier 20m
More CBs (when I say CBs, I mean anyone from AM downwards).
Mourinho will piss off at the end of next season, a new manager will come in and buy whoever is in fashion.
City will have a change at the top and the new manager will buy players from his last league/whoever is in fashion.
