We've spent big though. We spent big in the summer of 2011, spent a decent amount in the summer of 2012 given we only lost the league on GD.
Hazard was being a complete dick. All year he'd changed his mind on where he'd love to play. In the end his wages were ridiculous, and even City dropped out. Agent fee large also. Then shortly after his brother signs for Chelsea, no doubt part of Hazard picking Chelsea over any other team.
At the time I was glad we didn't sign him as he was being such a prick. Looking back, I wish we'd spent whatever it took.
Money is there, I think. We've shown it this last year. Andy Mitten, probably the most reliable United source, says we've found it hard to actually spend money. No doubt because Ed is clueless.
