That’s incredible to think we’ve only spent that much to offload that horrible squad load of players we had to now having a squad in which every player is a genuinely saleable asset.

I think in Saliba, Saka, Odegaard, Gabriel, White and Rice we’d recoup more than that figure alone.

It’s been forever since we could say that.

Great post for picking that out mate, even though I know you actually simply meant to say, ARTETA OUT! ?.

In which case everyone has fecked up and the answer is to sack MA and get Man City manager - he must be good! Thank goodness they haven’t got 115 charges over them . Not sure if we have any! Each to their own I guess let’s try and win without the charges I rather like that idea - call me old fashioned COYG. MA in ( am I in a twilight world)

{Ed014's Note - they couldn’t cope with 5 penalties the other night mate, god knows how they’ll cope with 115! ?

Can we look at net spend from 2008 not what suits the bias. Up until 2019 ( from 2008 ) believe C£ty net spent £1.2 billion on players! Us well £297 million thick end of a £1 BILLION Bit of perspective please Banbury! These figures may or may not be true but no animals were hurt in looking for them COYG.

Just goes to show its not all about money, look at Chelsea and United. Money helps but you still need to spend it well and have a manager who can get motivate and get the best out of the players you buy. Pep and Mikel have been the top 2 managers over the last 2 seasons.

Right Sussex, the city figure is quite skewed they've got a very good net spend the last 5 years, but they've sold high value players they had brought for high values previous to those 5 years, they got about £500 mil income from the likes of Mahrez, Laporte, Sane, Zinchenko, Otamendi, Danilo, Jesus, Sterling

Their net spend for the 5 years before is £-640 mil.

Which club's have risen or fallen furthest during this spending period, obviously the biggest climbers are Newcastle and Arsenal from near bottom and 8th place and the biggest fallers are Chelsea from top to nowhere noticeable.

Maybe Eden but are we just ignoring the £1 BILLION NET they spent more than us! We could have bought 15 Pepe’s for that! They may well have sold well they are good players! I hope you’re not on the premier league FFP charging panel which charges runs from 2009-2018 ( the billion pound era ) I agree it is a bit skewed! But good luck to them if that’s their bag Money talks and they’ll get a slap on the wrist no doubt about it COYG.

I can see that "Right Sussex. " may have come across as opposing and confrontational! ? When what I meant to put was "you're right Sussex" I was agreeing with you, if it was done over the last 10 years their net spend would be much higher, because they spent the money in the 5 years previously.

??? and not for the first time I misunderstood your post Eden! Still reeling from one of your posts I and only I couldn’t see the irony in it and so jumped in with both feet. It’s so rare I hear you’re right Sussex it throws me! Anyone who thinks Chelsea and City have not bought trophies is barking - as I said each to their own and good luck to them but be honest for feck sake COYG.
