Biggest net spend over past decade - City 5th, United first

[JASR]

The problem with these kind of lists and studies are nobody bothers to fact check them. Its the classic flood them with data so they dont even question it act.

They'll be dozens of incorrect prices, a huge portion will be complete guesses and they often flat out miss youth sales and post-sale clauses

For the correct (all, add-ons, youth, loan etc), for the last 5 years of City and all current PL teams, look no further than the @BlueBrain twitter (you don't need to be on twitter to look):



Marvellous research and time spent

How much did Burnley spend on their defence?

Arsenal fans. “You’ve bought it all”.

Whilst in the real world, Arsenal‘s net spend is higher than City’s in the last 10 years.the

”You’ve bought fuck all.” (you Tarquin c*nts!)

That was hidden amongst other sport reports, if we had the biggest deficit it would have been the headline news

And would have allowed comments if it was us

Just had a look on rag cafe and strangely enough there isn’t even a thread on this

They just had to shoe-horn Liverpool into the title though, didn't they?

Without Coutinho, the rat munchers would be above the Trafford (FFP) dodgers

Doesn't look very hidden to me, I've circled it for you.
They could have hidden it even more and simply not reported it at all?

This is a nice stat to refer to in the future, in the last decade we’ve net spent less than the rags, chelsea, psg and arsenal. And the quality we have compared to their players is unreal

Fuck me, going off that table we're outside the CL places......5th. I wonder if AFTV and RagCaf are making a big thing of this? I know what will be said....

1. Half their transfer fees are off the books.
2. Their sales are as dodgy as their purchases, they'll be reporting getting £50m but half that will be off the books back handers to agents.
3. Wait until the truth comes out after the 115 charges - most of their business is conducted off the books.

Yep - there will be a big push on the 'off the books' stuff.
