If you don't count Brennan Johnson, VDV, etc. we're at -110m net spend, proof that Levy is pocketing the cash!So If you consider;
Deki - £25m
Porro - £39.7m
extract that from the money spent;
Club Money Spent Money Received Net Spend 1. Chelsea £424.8m £220.1m £204.7m 2. Woolwich £203.5m £78.8m £124.7m 3. Man Utd £167.4m £42.9m £124.5m 4. Bournemouth £109.9m £0 £109.9m 5. Tottenham £148.7m £110m £38.7m
Which puts us at around 12th on net spend amounts these teams;
Crystal Palace £36m £800k £35.2m Luton Town £20m £0 £20m
So yeah this pretty much confirms the manager hasn't been backed and the window was a bag of shit.
As I explained yesterday, they didn't have any choice.
It's a massive gamble. Sanchez can at least fit into the system somewhat but Dier cannot play a high line at all. Relying on Davies and he's not particularly quick either.
On the other, if you don't count the Kane and Winks fee, we're actually at over 200m net spend! Incredible!
Unfortunately there's no way to objectively know how much we're spending in this window, as there's no transfermarkt type of site that tracks that, so we basically have to add or subtract transfer fees at random and hope we get somewhere!
Cue injury to maddison and issues with CB from now on.
Clearly club don't care, otherwise they would have been prioritised.
This is the same with every manager, same script different season.
I think there is every chance Phillips and/or Dorrington see first team minutes at some point this season.
That’s your basic. I know Sanchez does fit into the leave players but he clearly is more suited to this system even if it’s not ideal so we have have RCB cover and given a push we could probably play Royal at RCB.
The issue is LCB, we have VDV and that is it. Davies looked uncomfortable in a high line in pre season at CB and that is understandable and Dier we can forget it. In effect for our system to not have a clear weakness we need VDV to never get injured. Getting no back up is such a huge risk the club has taken.
If you don't include....half our signings?!?:llorisunsure:
Lo Celso can’t back up anything. Weakling, how’s he gonna break into the box? Can’t strike a ball either ffs
Shit and weak, 5 a side player
Club will get Eze probably next season, he is a base client and will have 1 year left, that will be the Lo Celso replacement.
Regarding Sanchez, when he's got better players in front of him he definitely plays better, so if he plays anywhere like he's played (not including Fulham), then he'll be a reasonable enough alternative until Jan.
Why don’t you leave and set up your own forum, just you?
I think we have seen Davies feature in games this season, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if Royal played at Left Back if Udogie picked up an injury.
Yes it is frightening, but Ange has played inverted left-backs that are right-footed at left-back before. He did it with Croatian international Josip Juranovic at Celtic. He'd play inverted/cut-inside and then use overloads from midfield/left wing for cut-backs/progressive carries into the 6-yard box.
Try again.Nice one Sonny's, nice one sons, nice one sonny's, one of youz give us another one!
If someone else doesn't get him, I can see him being a hot property with 1 year left on his deal.

So yeah this pretty much confirms the manager hasn't been backed and the window was a bag of shit.
So let me get this straight, last Summer Conte 'wasn't backed' despite the club having a £140m net spend (which by the way is the biggest amount of laughable bullshit to actually determine backing and ambition) and now since the net spend is around £40m Ange hasn't been backed.
If you think net spend is backing then explain to me how according to your chart that one again we have a higher net spend than City and Liverpool? does that mean that Ange has been backed more than Pep and Klopp?
Do you know what you guys actually want? I don't think you do.
What does being backed mean to you? Is it spend or is it the right fit? Or is just a meaningless buzz word you like to trot out because it sounds good purely because we didn't sign FIFA gold cards with 99 potential?
Also it's laughable that people are so desperate to not count Porro and Kulusevski in the money spent this Summer, we paid an initial loan fee for 6 months for Porro in January and officially started to pay on his contract from this Summer, the same for Kulu back in Jan 2021, Kulu's transfer fee was literally renegotiated down with Juve in May. how the hell can you count that towards the spend in 2021? lol so much evidence staring you in the face yet you want to ignore it.
