Money is not the only thing we need to compete with them. We have to spend the money we have wisely. they have a huge number of players costing a lot of money contributing very little if anything. Rodgers has an expensive taste in loan players, they have spent around £15m on the loans of Roberts and Masonda alone. For very little return. We can do better than that by looking at players a little more thoroughly, scouting better.
Also the fault lines in their team are the same as when Rodgers took over. They are weak at RB, CH and lack a quality creative midfielder. Same as they were with Ronny. Rodgers transfer record at his other teams is patchy at best.
We can compete if we get the right players in. Don't need their budget to do it.
