Re: Nasri confirmed
so, our business, roughly (correct me if I'm wrong)
Clichy: 7 mil
Savic: 6 mil
Aguero: 38 mil
Nasri: 23 mil
---------
74 million in
Caicedo: 1 mil
Boateng: 11.8 mil (13.5 euro apparently)
Given: 3.5 mil
Weiss: ~4 mil
Wright-Phillipes: ~2.5 mil (??)
-------
22.8 million out
Adebayor: Loan
Boyata: Loan
with rumors that RSC could be going to Spain (loan), Bellamy maybe to Dippers, whilst Bridge doesn't seem to have many suitors.
Anyway, that's roughly 51.2 mil net spend, down roughly from 95.5 mil net last summer (and winter: Boateng, Toure, Balotelli, Silva, Kolarov, Milner, Dzeko), and down from roughly 126.5 million from 09-10 (Santa Cruz, Barry, K Toure, Tevez, Adebayor, Lescott, Johnson). If we want to go even further, it is down from 114 mil from 08-0 (Jo, Zabaleta, Kompany, SWP, Robinho, Bridge, Bellamy, De Jong, Given).
So to put it in perspective, we've cut it back this year :)
to put it into perspective:
United
outgoing: none
incoming: Jones, Young (16 each), De Gea (~18) = roughly ~50 mil net
Chelsea
outgoing: Zhirkov (13 Mil), Mancienne (3 mil) 16 mil
incoming: Lukaku (20 mil), Romeu (4.35), Courtois (undisc.), Mata (28 mil) = 36.35 mil net spend, but are linked to other 20mil+ targets such as Modric and Pereira.
Liverpool also around the 50 million net spend mark with Enrique, Adam, Henderson, and Downing and no significant transfers out.
