We did spend 27m this summer. 60m last summer. 33m the year before.
The fact that we're even this strong and won all we did last season is a miracle. Even if we have a somewhat disappointing season this year compared to last then I don't know if I can blame anything else than the club's financial situation that have 13-14 players of our squad have to play nearly every game because the other guys are a big drop in quality or always injured anyway.
Atletico Madrid this summer and last summer alone have spent as much as we've spent since Laporta became President, and that's after we had to sell a part of our soul just to not go bankrupt after what Bartomeu had done with this club.
And that's Atletico. Now imagine Real Madrid, PSG, Man City, Chelsea, etc.
People really want to compare us to that? Just enjoy the ride and hope/pray we get out of this ruin so we're able to have a summer where we can spend 80-100m every second year or so without problems.
There's only so much you can improve from academy products and a couple of free transfers. At some point every club need to spend big to keep up with the rest and get the type of quality needed that you're not producing yourself.
