goon Feels like you're projecting here a little. Stories suggested we were after Sesko and 'liked' Williams, but both decided to stay. No indication that money was a problem.
Not really projecting at all tbh. There was a list of players who may be pretty much the few at a level that can really improve us that this seaon. And apparently they were all either unavailable or would cost upwards of 100m so we're better off saving our money to go get them next season. What would change between this summer and next to get these players? Will the players who wouldn't come to us this season choose to come to us next? Would we start bidding +100m for some of the others next season when we wouldn't do it this season.
The problem is either a lack of money or a lack of desire to actually go all out and spend whatever it takes to get the players here. There were 9 or 10 players in that post, maybe 2 or 3 chose to stay where they are, maybe a couple others are at clubs that won't sell even for 500m, but for the rest we could bring their clubs to the negotiating table with Rice level bids. If we have that kind of money that can spend those amounts that is. If not, it's not like we'll be able do so next year anyways unless we win big or sell big between now and then.
