"Yeah, really good. I'm a little bit sad and upset because in net spend in the last five years we are seventh in the Premier League. I want to be the first. I don't understand why the club don't spend more money. I am a little bit grumpy with them. But like we won in the past because we spent a lot, now six teams have to win the Premier Leagues, Champions Leagues and FA Cups because they spend more in the last five years."
"These are facts. It's not an opinion. You can say an opinion, like you say you play good or bad against Spurs -- we can agree or disagree. But they are facts. Good luck to the six teams who are in front of us for net spend for the last five years. Let's go. I'm waiting. That's a nice quote, eh?"
Manchester City sit seventh in net spend since the summer of 2021. City signed Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guéhi in January. The club expressed frustration that January spending did not increase further. Five named clubs—Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle—have recorded higher net spend over the past five years. Those higher-spending clubs face expectations to translate investment into Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup successes. City will play Newcastle in the Carabao Cup semifinal second leg; Marc Guéhi is ineligible and Rayan Cherki is being assessed. Rúben Dias returned to training on Sunday.
