our huge net spend window not making much noise as expected.:)
BBC sports page mentions it in their round up of the transfer window, but later on there is probably the clumsiest 115 reference I've ever seen. It's like the editor read the article and decided it needs a 115 sentence randomly shoved in

just about to post that, how that even warrants a mention in the article

Champions Manchester City had the lowest net spend of any Premier League club in the transfer window - actually turning in a £115.8m profit.
They spent £21.4m on Brazil winger Savinho, but selling players such as forward Julian Alvarez and defenders Joao Cancelo and Taylor Harwood-Bellis made it a profitable window.
In fact, none of last season's top three featured prominently when it came to net spend.
Arsenal spent £93.9m - including £38.4m on Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori and £27.4m apiece for Spanish duo David Raya and Mikel Merino - but sold £76.8m worth of players.
Liverpool bought midfielder Federico Chiesa and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili but selling players such as Fabio Carvalho, Sepp van den Berg and Bobby Clark meant they made a £14.4m profit.
City, of course, have won four successive Premier League titles. They face 115 chargeswhich they deny – of alleged breaches of the league's financial rules.

 
City fans incliding myself spent years calling red scouse cultists and tarquins sad fuckers for bringing up net spend as a thing to be proud of and we ridiculed their net pend trophy bullshit, so not gonna debase myself now wanking over us doing it.

Like Xg I hope our name is never mentioned beside such absolute modern football bullshit, net spend is meaningless

Definitely an editorial addition - it's just so random the way it's shoehorned in

Don't knock it mate, the dippers would count that and the charity shield as a domestic double and would already have booked the bus for the parade.
