Looking at the squad we have I think top 3 is the short term goal. If you want to win the league, you need to spend like city has for the last 5 years.
We've also been lucky that all the other big clubs have made very poor strategic moves (Chelsea, Spuds, United...)
The club has its goals and I think it's sit and accumulate a return on the last 4 years of KSE's investment.
Of those who would have been able to make a direct impact, I can only remember Osimhen and the money was very likely not there for one Europe's best. Especially considering he was the only one on the market, so at a premium...
Maybe I'm wrong though... You would have had a better overview, that list was really well maintained!
