Rodwell - £12 million, sold for £10 million
Sinclair - £8 million, sold for £4 million
Jovetic - £23 million, sold for £12 million
Navas - There's no way you can class Navas as a lesser player or a waste of a transfer
Nolito - £14 million, sold for £8 million
Fernando - £12 million, sold for £5 million
Garcia - £16 million, sold for £13 million
Net transfer spend - £33 million spread over 6 players and across 5 seasons, or in other words, 6.6 million wasted per season between 12/13 - 16/17. Truly an extraordinary amount. The latest transfer in that list happened in 16/17, 5 seasons ago. You reckon we have learned from our mistakes?
Javi Garcia was pretty key in the run-in in 13/14 from memory. Played a lot of minutes in a double pivot with Ferna while Aguero/Negredo struggled with injury, which allowed Yaya to do his thing. 5 wins in a row to seal it?
Not the worst signing all thing considered.
