drive up the costs for players
And Andy Carroll's transfer didn't further drive up the price for English players? I think we tend to forget that the market sets the price of goods. If city hadn't bought aguero someone else would've at a very similar cost. shite, you want to talk about overinflated prices? Someone needs to publish a pointless article about Anzi's spending. Now every over rated and aging striker is going to expect eto money.

parity
Like I said, you have to go back to 1994 to find a EPL champion not named arsenal, united, or chelsea. You can look at Barca, real, and valencia the same way. If city want to spend I say go for it, but we know football is a cruel mistress. City could just as easily end up like valencia if they spend their way into the poor house.

A pointless article? Or an article on Anzi's pointless spending? Who have they spent excessive money on? They overpaid slightly for Dzsudzsak, they paid less for Zhirkov than Chelsea paid for him, and paid probably what is a reasonable price to attract one of the world's best strikers. That's not the best example.
Even in football clubs owned by Arab oil money, City's spending seems excessive. However, City's goal was to quickly catch United, which they have done.

Who? You realize there is a recession in Europe right now. The Italian teams don't have the spending power they once did, Aguero couldn't go to Real, Barca don't have the money to buy Fabregas and another star player, none of the German teams could afford him. PSG could afford him, but they already bought Pastore. The only other team that could have feasibly afforded Aguero this summer was Chelsea, and they probably wouldn't go after him because they overpaid for an overrated striker earlier this year.
