And how much did we spend on transfers including revenue received? Compared to the rest. Even the scum. We are well, well behind.

Enid have done ok. Built a decent academy. But they have also held us back from getting to the next level proper. We have lost probably our best off field asset in Mitchell thanks to penny pinching. Who knows how far we could go with him being listened to.

Even the stadium has taken far too long and the obsession with American Football is a waste of time.

This link supposedly shows spending from 2010 to 2015, but I'm suspicious of it because the author can't spell the word "Net". All in pounds.

1. Man City-565 million (430 net)
2. Man United-528 million (393 net)
3. Chelsea-450 million (187 net)
4. Liverpool-365 million (125 net)
5. Tottenham-247 million (-25 net)
6. Woolwich-246 million (158 net)

So obviously there's a huge gap between the other top clubs and Spurs here. In fact, Spurs were the only team in the entire league other than Swansea to actually earn money from the transfer market in this period. But IMO that can be justified by the stadium.

I hear ya. And your view is totally valid. But I recall the history pre Levy, the ups and the downs, so can only credit so far.

Not true. Lots of people are fairly critical here without "disagrees" or abuse. It's the chicken little folks who only show up in August and January during the transfers to scream about how the sky is falling that catch their fair share of abuse. Finally, after being dormant for the better part of a year, the "ENIC OUT! Facking Levy crowd have started to show their faces", and I'm happy to tell them to get fucked. Where have they been? Quite a lot of us cunt each other off constantly, but it's all part of the stupid fucking charm of this place that we take very little of it seriously and are happy to tell each other exactly what we think of us other, then we shake hands and leave it. It's the folk that take everything personally and act like fucking douchebags such as Gibbsy that are ostracized.

Categorically however, anybody that has been panicking thinking we need to rush out and buy Wilfried fucking Zaha for twice what he's worth is a fucking melt.

Fuck off you cunt. Don't take it personally or you're like gibbs.
 
So what are the strongest rumours saying about isco? Buy or on loan?

If it is a loan, he would only have a year left on his contract when he returns to madrid.
So you would think that wouldn't be in the interest of madrid.

Madrid don't have to worry about that sort of thing, if he turns out to be good enough for them they'll just hand him a new contract when he comes back. It's not like a bigger club is going to come swooping in.

It's more fun than talking about Clinton N'jie II.

Maybe the Lack of Net spending can be used as a device for stadium development but my suspicion is the club Is the asset being used as collateral for the borrowing. Again, you can say that is fair for an investment company but as fans we could and should expect some of our money to be spent strengthening the actual product we pay for.

Enid are not putting their own money with their mouths are just ours and the reputation of the club.

They can only win. Even if we lose Enid win.
 
if Sissoko can motivate Sissoko he could be a very good solid option for us.
Sissoko, Nkoudou and Isco would be amazing, as far Meyer, Levy wouldn't never offer 45M for any player, maybe just maybe for Bale
