that was one transfer with a significant fee ( i think medina was 3M?) and that seems to happen every 3 years or so. and its only one. There is no way you win like that. This team will not spend much compared to true contenders, but that is something that has been shown even before last winter. its like they said " oh we tried it once with mitri didnt work out, so now we wont do any more, only small penny pincher transfers"
and imo i dont even think this will change with a stadium in place. just based on the other CFG teams out side of man city.
