£85 million

dimanche 12 février 2017

According to the website Transfer Market (To view the link you have to Register or Login), we have spent £85m on our current squad. Although that is a bit lower than some estimates (e.g. Benteke is shown as £26m not £32m), it seems as accurate as any source. It is the fifth highest total spend in the league and forth highest net spend.

Did anyone in their wildest dreams think we would ever be able to spend that sort of money assembling a squad? Did anyone honestly think a club could spend so much money and end up with such a woefully underperforming bunch of players? Obviously there are many threads dealing with the probable causes but it is a stark warning of the dangers of trying to spend your way to success, which many on here wanted us to do, without dealing with some of the underlying problems we seem to have at the club.
