Mate... Prices have tripled (or more) in that time frame, which moots your comparison.
No. But a group of players that cost 450 million now may have cost less than 158 million in 2010, because transfer fee inflation has far outstripped both RPI or CPI (similar to house pricing)
He doesn’t understand that, been trying to explain it. He is now using the very top end of the market with an out of date article, the top end of every market is always slightly different and being out of date it doesn’t even have the Neymar transfer.
Dear Poch
I thank you because after all these years with you, now we are having this level of discussion and moaning about not winning trophies, rather of dreaming every year about snatching the 4th place and missing it on most of the times while hoping that we won’t burn an 8 point lead over the scum with ten games from the end of the season and /or that chelscum won’t win the CL
I thank you for endless memorable games, for all these CL nights, for how we have owned the CL winners over two legs a couple of years ago, for having gone past the best team in the world over two legs last year… I thank you for having played Llorente in the second half of the Ajax game, for how have always shown how much you care about us
I thank you for having wiped “that saint” off the scum’s calendar and for endless other things
We haven’t won anything under you so far, and probably we never will… We could have won the odd domestic cup, as we could have with many of the previous managers… certainly I have never expected to win the two major trophies with you, nor with Kane, Son or any other player from this generation, we are not there yet and at some point they will go, but I just know we will. Not so soon, though.
I also thank the likes of Jol and Harry (in a way also AVB for his first season) , because if we are where we are we owe it to them as well
It’s your most difficult moment since you took over, and I appreciate that probably there is no way back, probably this is your last season, and maybe you won’t even finish it. Is it your fault? Is it Levy’s fault? Maybe and probably both… We keep discussing about this, but only you and Levy know. To me, more than anything, it just is what it is, it’s another MASSIVE step forward where we want to be
Whether you will stay and be given the money and time for a new cycle or will go, only of two things I am sure:
- This season and next one will be quite painful (still we could win win a cup or two)
- We will win EVERYTHING within the end of next decade
Gracias

So you mean the article that has a player sold in 2001 for 28M and the adjusted fee in 2015 of 34M is wrong.
Thats the bleacher report by the way.
But your right when you say that 75M is maybe 20M or maybe 30M from 2011 to now. Ok then
We are now spending in the same ball park as our rivals though, which we was not in 2011.
We are now richer. Or doesnt the 4 years CL money count any more
adjusted in this case looks like general inflation not market specific inflation I would assume. Can’t imagine football prices from 2001 to 2015 only went up by around 20-30%
Glad we agree on the bottom point.
We are spending more now or at least this summer, but we have two players injured and one just starting. Whether we will match Woolwich, Liverpool etc every summer remains to be seen but that was the point of the new stadium and getting top 4 each season.
No we dont agree at all.....prove what you are saying, like I did, or you have no credibility in your arguement.
"the website is wrong" doesnt cut it Im afraid. Just go and find a site which backs your figures like I did. Should be very, very easy for you
Food for thought re: prices/inflation:
- We signed Darren Bent for 16m.... We were quoted 75m for Callum Wilson.
- We signed Eriksen for 14m... Lo Celso comes with a 65-70m pricetag.
- M.Dembele 15m.... Ndombele 60m.
- BAE 3.5m.... Aurier 24m.
All spurs related. All same profile and positions. All translate to the eras of the managers in question.
That arcicle is meaningless to this debate. It pays no mind to what has happened to the footballing economy in the last 10-12 years.

100 Biggest Transfer Fees of All Time Adjusted for Inflation
Have you ever wondered how much Luis Figo's move to Real Madrid or Hernan Crespo's transfer to Lazio would cost in modern-day cash? Would Rui Costa's big-money switch to Milan land ...bleacherreport.com
That arcicle is meaningless to this debate. It pays no mind to what has happened to the footballing economy in the last 10-12 years.
But we were spending top whack in 2010, you said
Ahhh so the years between 2009-2015 dont count.....or 2001 to 2015....
It doesnt count....but "geezers online" count
When you are using a 2015 site that is nonsense in comparison of 2011 to 2019 transfer movements and one that is only looking at the top end of the market.
As for inflation how I am supposed to know their underlying calculation but considering adjusted would most likely being looking at general inflation as there is no football inflation index as far as I am aware or at least official one.
So between 2009 and 2015 10M was about 11M, but between 2009 and 2019, 10M was 64M
