I don't get the tapping up.
I really don't.
Surely it's just like in the real world?

Football's like the real world? OK, I know what you mean.

But it fucks up smaller clubs. Mahrez hands in a transfer request with 24 hours left in the transfer window, because Sane goes an injures himself, leaving us no time to find a replacement. Actually, it's not a disaster, we're safe this season. But with Arsenal screwing up and us having a decent draw in the 5th round of the FA cup, we do have a reasonable chance of European football, so keeping him to the summer would be nice. Now, the only option is to cash in, hope the likes of Gray, Diabate and Iheanacho can step up and then invest in the summer.

Given the amount the drug cheat has spent, Man City not winning the league by a clear 18 points should be considered abject failure. Basically we're French football with not as nice kits.

I see your point. But in seriousness, everyone knows Mahrez wasn't going to hang around. It shouldn't be on the smaller clubs to "prepare for being robbed", but there should always be someone else ready to be snapped up/moved in.

It's about the only thing Spurs do better than you.
