Asked about City bringing in both Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guéhi in January, Guardiola said: "Yeah, really good. I'm a little bit sad and upset because in net spend in the last five years we are seventh in the Premier League.
"I want to be the first. I don't understand why the club don't spend more money. I am a little bit grumpy with them. But like we won in the past because we spent a lot, now six teams have to win the Premier Leagues, Champions Leagues and FA Cups because they spend more in the last five years.
"These are facts. It's not an opinion. You can say an opinion, like you say you play good or bad against Spurs -- we can agree or disagree. But they are facts. Good luck to the six teams who are in front of us for net spend for the last five years. Let's go. I'm waiting. That's a nice quote, eh?"
