Manchester City have restructured how they spend in the transfer window. I guess they have learnt from past mistakes and losses from big money deals that didn’t go well like Jack Grealish. They are now being careful and being smart with their dealing now not to overspend on any player and have him flop.
Manchester City already has the strongest squad. But they are not afraid to spend money if necessary. They paid 75 million Euro for Marmoush just 5 months ago. You seem to forget that quickly.
Their transfers of Reijnders, Aït-Nouri and Cherki so far total 127 million Euro. That's not a small amount of money. They are still a team that spends big money. With that comes success, last season was an exception.
They are still the same in spending money, it's just that what makes them different from some clubs that are always said to be loyal in the EPL is that they sometimes don't make too much media or maybe this is also for a certain purpose so that even though they bring in players with a fairly expensive nominal but their news is always covered with several things.
Since half of the season and now they have spent a lot of money which of course we cannot just let go, the problem is that with the money they have, the expenses they make and the charges that are quite a lot for Manchester City at this time it is possible if they get another charge in FFP because seeing from their total expenditure it is clearly not a small amount and the condition of their players who are quite fat also makes this seem easy to be used as a reason for prosecution.
