So you're happy that we sit bottom of the transfer net spend table while we regularly miss our transfer targets and Poch openly voices his frustration at our transfer policy. So long as we, to use your words, make a profit in the transfer market to invest in other areas of the club.
Yes. You're making it very clear now.
Apparently it was Pochettino who didn't want Barkley this window.
Also the only teams who’ll be spending is then teams trying to stay up, using one of either parachute or PL money, and clubs like Man U, City and maybe & Chelsea.
Liverpool suddenly spend nearly 3 times the usual net spend over how many seasons, 8?
Tells me they can only afford £75m for VVD becuase they will be selling.
If they don’t I’ll be surprised. I don’t think they are seeing that much profit from theirnextension yet.
They spent less than we did last season and the same the season before.
We are never going to be able to spend like City and Man U or pay their wages.
We are like most clubs. Even Chelsea who before Conte we spending £10m and selling to buy.
If you count Costa sale the spent £75m last two seasons. Sold £231m bought £306m
We could improve our match day income with the new place, but it’s all about sponsorship/commercial and TV revenue with the others.
We are about £60m down on both on Woolwich & Liverpool
City got £53m matchday income compare to our £41m 15/16, yet they got £178 in sponsorship And £160m in TV revenue.
We got £59m and £110m
That £170m extra makes a difference. 3 players on 150k is £23m a season.
You can only spend and pay what you earn.
When we we become a consistent CL side and raise our matchdaynrevenue we can compete with Woolwich, Liverpool and raise our wage bill. But we are never going to compete with the two mancs, unless we get bought by Qatar.
