[quote]It's still mad that we backed out of the Bellingham deal due to finances, sold our two most experienced midfielders and then bid £160m on two guys we didn't sign [/quote]
The cost of Bellingham would have been more than the 160 million you're referencing, because the money he's making at Real, and the image rights he has, is quite significant.
That aside, even if we did all the finances that Real do [which we don't], Real Madrid whether we like it or not, is the prime destination for footballers.
