Well i'm pretty sure what Redknapp was getting at was that they have a bigger squad in terms of numbers and have more quality in reserve, which is true.

I don't think it matters at all, because Barca still have enough depth to cover them for a season to win everything, but if in some massive coincidence that both City and Barca played each other in the CL, and like 15 first team players got food poisoning, City would be able to cope better. Not really going to happen but yeah

Yeah, that's not what having a better squad means though.

Fair enough. If he said squad depth then i'd agree with him, but if he just said better squad then maybe not.

any squad that has messi, iniesta, and xavi is better then anyone elses. Fuck throw those 3 on Stevenage and they have a better squad then City and anyone else for that matter regardless of the players around those 3 on the field. Stupid comparison, different fucking leagues.
