    "Go through Man City’s team and every position cost them £30m+"
    "So does Everton's. 25m, 25m, 20m." <confused>

    City's bench probably cost more than Everton's team.
    Their back five cost about £260m and they had Stones and Mendy in reserve, which is another £100m. That's just defenders.
    Their spending has been ridiculous.

    £85m as it goes, but I’ll raise you the Ox and Naby Savage for £87m

    On Managers who improve players i'll chuck in Rodgers though my personal view is that he is probably a better coach than manager .

    Their inability to get the defence sorted has been shocking and the amount spent are insane. The " each player cost 30m+" isn't actually true (Gundogen, Foden and Zinchenko combined cost less than that) but the point behind the statement is a fair one. I guess he's never had to spot a bargain.

    And that's before you look at those who have moved on, like Otamendi and Mangala, who cost about £40m each.

    Let @Saff off, Sunderland fans don't really do Europe.

    I think I'm still correct in saying that Shows Ameobi had scored more European goals than Sunderland. We qualified for around 15 successive years before Ashley got his hands on us. Just a coincidence obviously.

    They tend to piss the Czech league most seasons and the 2 lads that West Ham poached have been more than decent ... we should have enough over 2 legs (hopefully) but it's by no means a gimmee like Spurs should have against RZ Pellets Women's Angling Club ...

    So they play in a Sunday league and @Big Ern s perennial relegation dodgers have nabbed their only half decent players. Stop worrying you big Nancy, you'd have to be properly rubbish to not spank them. 4-0 or better I reckon.

    Austria's ranked 10th. The Czechs are ranked 19th. You've got a far easier tie than we do.

    dunno, we're apparently trying to get at least 1 more player, Abdallah Sima 18 goals and 5 assists in 26 matches.
