If something is worth €16m why pay more than that? If you're going to pay €20m why not buy a player you value at €20m? We need to have a lot more faith in the whole management team not just BR. Ben

We practiced all these questions, tactics, footballing language etc but I guess he doesn't feel ready to speak in English yet. Two weeks are really nothing to be honest to get ready. At least he got one sentence of English in at the end and shows I'm a better teacher than the fake one Emre Can had.

You can all sit around and stroke your chins about value and clever long term transfer approaches, but our competition is moving forward. We're not, and we'll be left behind quicker than you think. Last season is meaningless now. 2009 / 10 should have thought us all that.

Don't let the haircut fool you, I am exceedingly wealthy.
Oh, I didn't get rich by writing a lot of checks!

We have additional costs such as a larger squad of players drawing higher wages etc to net off against it before we can spend it on transfers. On the flip side we'd also have some more income from ticket sales for CL games and perhaps bonus payments from sponsors for CL exposure etc. It's certainly a nice problem to have though!! Ben
