I hate to break your bubble but since they were in the relegation battle, they signed:
Evans 3.5m
Maddison 25m
Pereira 22m
Soyuncu 19m
Justin 6m
Perez 12m
Tielemans 13m
Praet 19m
And this season they signed
Castagne 22m
Fofana 40m
Granted not all of them are world class, but all of them are an upgrade of the exact counter part we have here in their respective squad roles.
I'm not disagreeing they have built a good squad but we must be capable of that. The money they have spent isn't out of our reach in fact we've probably spent as much.
Oh yeah but the problem now is, we have spent as much or more money and many of them has failed. They were adding to a squad that already included Ndidi, Vardy and Chilwell at that point of time basically their champions squad. We have added many failed signings to a squad that was already not so good, lost our talisman Alexis, gave a huge useless contract to Ozil etc.
So this squad is already not good enough for top 4 last season. We need around 3-4 big signings this season and achieved a grand total of 1 so far and not looking likely for others, while many of our rivals have improved massively from new signings. It's not realistic to target top 4 this season. We will be lucky to finish top 6 with this squad.
