Well, at least it looks like we're (finally) in a place where we can tell clubs like City where to go when they come sniffing around our players, so we have a fighting chance now. I suppose the encouraging thing is that we're only 7 points behind them with what we currently have, and have much more scope to improve (both in terms of the team and coaching), whereas they're looking at much smaller potential gains, no matter how crazy they go with the signings this summer?
