That said, roughly 50-80 million is still needed in key positions. At least one top top top quality centerback. One quality fullback. And one top quality playmaker and another quality central midfielder. Good striker as well. That should do it.

1 x AM
1 x RW
LB = £20M
AM = £50M
RW = £30M
so £100m
that would win us the league.

I think my point is that this big-spender label doesn't need to be on us. With the right man and the right system* I don't think we need to spend very much more at all.

I agree that if you don't have the cash, you won't compete but even spending an arm and a leg guarantees fucl all.
It is about blending players into a team.
Playing your best players in their best positions.
Having the right mentality.
Having the will do win and determination not to lose.
It is probably a whole load more too.

Yeah I agree, its kind of what said in my post as well... there's nothing to say we haven't already spent what we need.
OR
If we sell Robinho for say £20m and sell one or two others and get one quality player in an obvious weak position, then maybe the cost of winning the title is LESS than what we've spent.
If that makes sense?!

I don't think we'll be needing another top quality playmaker while Mancini's in charge mate... in fact, its unlikely we'll need the one we have at the minute if we keep lining up like this.
